Accelerated introduction of neutrino power

generation sources is needed

Switching to alternative energy not only contributes to positive changes


in the global climate, but also meets the interests of economies around
the world. However, such a transition, as expected, is not only a long
process, but also very expensive. According to estimates by the
International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), up to $ 20 trillion of
investments are needed before 2050 for the global energy transition to
alternative energy sources, but they will bring profits many times higher
than this amount. A report by the Global Renewable Energy Outlook
dated April 21, 20 says that investing in low-carbon technologies can
save up to eight times more, given the cost of preserving the
environment and healthcare. Switching to alternative energy could
increase the global total gross domestic product by $ 98 trillion by 2050.

The above amounts are really amazing, we asked Holger Schubart, a


well-known specialist in the field of alternative energy, a German
entrepreneur and general director of the scientific and technical holding
Neutrino Energy Group, to comment on this statement.

Mr. Schubart, is it right, right now, during the most difficult


economic crisis, to raise the topic of the need to abandon fossil
fuels and transfer the economy to alternative energy?
We are really going through one of the most difficult and critical periods
of the development of mankind since the Second World War, and it is too
early to speak today about the prospects for the economy to emerge
from a deep recession. Experts warn of a possible second heavier wave
of coronavirus spread. Against this background, the need for hydro-
carbons fell sharply, as did the price of them. However, for example,
Germany, even at such an extremely unfavorable time, reduces the
generation of electricity precisely due to fossil fuels, although the price of
electricity from solar and wind generation is higher and subsidized by the
state. It is possible that the commissioning of additional capacities of
these two renewable sources of electric generation will encounter
objective difficulties, it can be expected that subsidies for alternative
energy will be reduced or completely stopped for the newly
commissioned capacities. But this is only a forecast: how the states will
regulate the way out of the economic recession will determine the future
face of the planet. At the same time, one thing is clear: it is impossible to
solve the economic issues of overcoming the crisis by strengthening the
climate crisis.

We must look forward and not lose sight of the strategic task of
humanity. And it consists in the rejection of fossil fuels, whose reserves
are constantly decreasing. But that's not the point. Mankind has come to
the stage of development when it is simply necessary to take real and
effective steps to protect the climate. Consider even in this regard, such
a question as the spread of coronavirus and its consequences. At first
glance, it would seem that there is no connection with the climate.
However, scientists in the current publication Sience of the Total
Environment came to a completely different conclusion, and report that
the largest number of deaths in Italy and Spain occurred in areas where
the air had the highest concentration of toxic nitrogen dioxide. This fact
speaks for itself. Negative climate changes affect the health of the
population of our Planet, and now is really the right time to pay close
attention to environmental issues.

Recognizing the importance of developing alternative energy, one cannot


turn a blind eye to the egregious barbaric attitude to the nature of some
countries, for example, Indonesia. The Chitarum River (Ci Tarumid) has
a length of 300 km, an average width of 10 m and a depth of 5 m, which
has been turned from a completely ordinary Chitarum waterway into a
landfill. The river suffocates from municipal solid waste, sewage from
hundreds of factories and plants, animal corpses, large worms and flies.
And this is not the only example. I am convinced that the world
community must firmly pursue countries that admit such a barbaric
attitude towards nature, because all this rubbish falls into the oceans,
and millions of square kilometers of the water surface are covered with
rubbish, and the inhabitants of the water are poisoned by tiny particles of
plastic.

But the task of abandoning fossil fuels cannot happen quickly.

Correctly. This is a strategic task for humanity. It includes here not only
the transition to alternative energy, but also the increase in the efficiency
of electrical appliances. Previously, incandescent lamps were used, but
now they are LED. And so on throughout the group of goods using
electricity. This also includes the goal of reducing losses in the power
grids along the path of electric power transmission from the power plant
to the consumer.

Honestly, I have not heard about innovative technologies in the


field of electric current transmission.

I have not heard of such technologies either. More than 100 years ago, a
system of power lines was created; to date, nothing fundamentally new
has changed since then. Only the creation of a distributed energy
generation system can reduce energy loss during transmission of
electricity: the smaller the distance from the power plant to the
consumer, the correspondingly less energy loss. However, both wind
generators and solar panels in rare cases can be installed directly where
the consumer is located. As for wind generators, it makes sense to install
them where there is a strong wind rose, and solar panels in regions
where sunny days prevail in the year. Otherwise, their installation will be
unprofitable.

You are a renowned specialist and expert in the field of renewable


energy. Moreover, unlike expert theoreticians, the Neutrino Energy
Group company, where you are the CEO, has completed the
development of the Neutrinovoltaic technology - a method for
producing direct current under the influence of various
electromagnetic radiation, including the effects of high-energy
space neutrinos.

An international group of scientists, whom our company has involved in


this development, is sure that this way of transforming the energy supply
system is correct and there are no analogues to it. This transformation, in
our opinion, should go in 2 parallel ways:

1. Transfer of electrical appliances to current sources built inside their


housings that generate direct electric current based on
Neutrinovoltaic technology. This will reduce the need for centrally
supplied energy.
2. Creation of autonomous direct current sources for which it is
planned to power all the power supply of individual houses,
including possibly heating them in the winter season.

It turns out that you do not propose building large power plants that
work on the technology you developed?

That is unnecessary. The advantage of the technology developed by us


lies precisely in the fact that our DC neutrino sources are compact in
size, which allows them to be placed in product housings like a gadget,
computer, TV, flashlight ... .. the list goes on and on. Of course, each
product needs its own neutrino current source with individual parameters
- both in overall dimensions and in output characteristics. As you know,
our company is not able to produce the whole range of current sources
and does not set ourselves such a goal, we reasonably expect that the
market needs will lead the manufacturers of such products themselves to
realize the need to produce the current sources they need in accordance
with the requirements, of course neutrino current sources can be ordered
from an independent manufacturer.

An interest in your development can be shown only if the price of


the received electricity is competitive in comparison with the prices
of the centralized power supply system.

Of course. In the manufacture of DC neutrino sources, expensive and


rare materials are not required. The working element consists of a metal
foil coated on one side with a multilayer coating of alternating layers of
graphene and doped silicon. Work items are placed one above the other,
their stack is placed in the body - this creates an energy cell. Given that
such a current source does not require maintenance costs, the price of
electricity will be significantly lower than at least 50% from solar panels.
The most important advantage of neutrino current sources is that they do
not depend on weather, nor on the time of day or season.

And can such direct current sources be installed on electric cars?

Not possible, but necessary. We are working on the creation of neutrino


current sources for electric vehicles and are confident that without the
use of our Neutrinovoltaic technology, switching to electric vehicles will
do more harm to the climate than good.

New stages in the development of mankind pose fundamentally


new tasks for science and economics. No matter how difficult the
struggle against the epidemic is for us and no matter how difficult
the way out of the economic recession is, solving the health
problems of the human population and stabilizing the economic
and political situation in the world are directly related to climatic
aspects and, above all, the need to ensure human needs for clean,
environmentally friendly and safe energy.
