its GDP exceeded 50 billion yuan (6.95 billion U.S. dollars) for the first time. Only four years later, the figure doubled to 100 billion yuan (about 13.8 billion dollars). Most notably, 73.8 percent of its industrial output value came from emerging and high-tech ...
This low impact is achieved in several ways: by limiting the packaging waste created; by using materials which are recyclable or biodegradable; and by using renewable energy during production (such as solar, hydro or wind energy). The ultimate goal of green packaging is ...

While most of the world still runs on dirty fossil fuels, Costa Rica has generated nearly all of its electricity from renewable sources of energy for nearly a decade. For comparison, the US generates just over 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. Costa Rica made global headline...
Renewable hydrogen will be critical to the energy transition. Production costs are expected to fall byapproximately 30 percentby 2030. After 2024, nearly all new hydrogen production is expected to create clean (that is, green or blue) hydrogen. By contrast, the production of gray hydrogen is pr...
Explore the full McKinsey Explainers series To date, about 10 percent of the required deployment of low-emission technologies has been achieved. Advancing the transition will require fasterdeployment and adoptionof several interrelated low-emission technologies (including renewable-energy sources, electrifica...
A deep cycle battery is a lead acid battery designed to provide a steady amount of current over a long period. Jasmin Merdan / Getty Images Deep cycle batteries and standard lead-acid batteries are both pivotal in the world of energy storage, powering everything from vehicles to renewable en...
By 2050, it is expected that more than 30 percent of China’s population will be aged 60 years and older, resulting in the significantly increasing consumption of health food products. Increasing levels of education and an internet savvyChinese middle classare additional factors of growth. ...
Most concentrated solar power technologies will have an efficiency somewhere between 7 and 25 percent. To compare this to the electricity conversion efficiencies of other renewable energy technologies, wind turbines can achieve up to 59 percent efficiency, and hydropower systems can have efficiencies of...
How to find your roof’s angle Panels on a south-facing roof with a typical pitch (0 to 55 degrees) will only lose a few percent of their potential production compared to a roof with an ideal tilt. SETO sent us an example: In San Diego, where the typical roof is tilted at 18 de...
