Dow Corning, a all-around baton in silicon based technologies that ability the solar industry, has accustomed a alarm by the European Commission for a €50 billion access in allotment for apple-pie activity analysis over the next decade.
The Commission is aiming to advanced its Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) with a greater focus on the development and deployment of cost-effective low carbon technologies. Research and development and a affiliation amid business, the accessible area and advisers are capital in adjustment to advance the technologies to defended EU activity accumulation and ensure the competitiveness of the European Community affiliate nations.
As a baton in developing the technologies that sustain the solar activity industry, Dow Corning supports aldermanic and authoritative initiatives that can advice apple-pie activity become a added affordable advantage for the future. “Solar activity is a clean, able and readily accessible technology that, with the appropriate support, can advice transform the world’s energy, ecology and bread-and-butter future,” said Eric Peeters, Vice President, Dow Corning Solar Solutions. “We acclaim the Commission for highlighting the analytical role that addition will play in accelerating efforts to accomplish solar activity a applicable addition to acceptable activity sources.”
Dow Corning’s silicon-based abstracts are acclimated in solar corpuscle manufacturing, solar bore accumulation and installation. In the accomplished 5 years, Dow Corning calm with its collective ventures at the Hemlock Semiconductor Group accept appear investments of added than $5 billion to analysis and advance as able-bodied as to aggrandize assembly of abstracts analytical to the solar industry.
The company’s analysis and development efforts are advised to advice the solar industry become even added economically aggressive with accepted activity sources as they plan appear accomplishing filigree parity.
Dow Corning supports the Commission’s appearance that co-operation with industry will be capital for the future. The proposed Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) seeks to amalgamate EU and civic assets with Public-Private Partnerships in a alternation of European Industrial Initiatives in areas including solar and wind.
