“…The previous empirical literature has identified good governance as an important factor in the SDGs [ 24 ]. In a recent study, Güney [ 25 ] used data from 2005–2018 for 35 countries at different income levels to explore the impact of solar energy and governance on carbon emissions, and denoted that good governance and investment in solar equipment are critical to reducing carbon emissions. Likewise, Baloch and Wang [ 26 ] incorporated the governance of carbon emissions into the framework of the EKC to analyse the governance behaviour of CO2 emissions in BRICS countries and implied that governance has a considerable negative correlation with carbon emissions.…”

In the past 40 years, the continuous strengthening of the greenhouse effect has led to a significant increase in the global average temperature. Although people’s understanding of climate change has been strengthened, the world has not yet witnessed a significant decline in pollutant emissions; hence it is imperative to get to the root cause. This paper is based on the STIRPAT model framework and uses the panel data of G20 countries over the period 1999–2019 to examine the role of financial development on carbon emissions under good governance. The results show that financial development significantly promotes carbon dioxide emissions, and the impact presents an inverted “U”-shaped trend when the quadratic term of financial development is introduced. Surprisingly, governance quality indicators increase carbon emissions. However, financial development accompanied by good governance suppresses carbon emissions. Moreover, according to the grouped results of developed and developing countries, different nations should adopt differentiated strategies in development finance to implement the carbon emission targets proposed by the G20. In addition, this paper also confirms the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. In light of this, policymakers should optimize the quality of governance while shifting their agendas toward environmentally responsible financial practices to promote financial development to improve environmental quality effectively. Furthermore, strengthen international cooperation, enhance public environmental protection concepts, and take joint actions to achieve low-carbon and win-win results.

“…Emissões de carbono causadas por combustíveis fósseis como petróleo, carvão e produtos de gás atingiram altos índices nas últimas décadas, o que pode causar problemas ambientais, econômicos e até sociais em todo o mundo. Nesse contexto, as fontes energéticas renováveis surgem como uma alternativa para mitigar os efeitos negativos do desenvolvimento industrial global (GÜNEY, 2022). Em destaque, a energia solar, que é gratuita e inesgotável, e já amplamente utilizada para geração de calor e eletricidade, sendo que não produz a poluição ambiental causada por outras fontes de energia, e é uma fonte de energia ecologicamente correta, limpa e altamente confiável (YUANINGSIH; ADJENG MARIANA FEBRIANTI; KAMRAN, 2020).…”

A forte presença da automação nos processos industriais traz uma oportunidade de aprimorar e otimizar processos de fabricação tradicionalmente manuais, mais especificamente os laboratoriais. Por meio de equipamentos que executem tarefas preordenadas e repetitivas é possível reduzir a ocorrência de erros humanos e contribuir para a segurança dos operadores, evitando o contato deles com produtos nocivos à saúde. Atualmente existem pesquisas para o desenvolvimento de sistemas fotovoltaicos mais baratos, entre elas, a célula de Grätzel, conhecida também como célula solar fotoquímica, ou célula solar nanocristalina sensibilizada por corante (CSNS). Elas são fabricadas por meio de um processo realizado de forma tradicionalmente manual, conhecido como spray-pirólise. A proposta deste trabalho é realizar a automação desse processo de spray de forma que os movimentos repetitivos realizados pelo operador manual sejam feitos por um braço robótico pré-programado. Inicialmente foi escolhida uma configuração de braço robótico e as suas características, sendo selecionado o do tipo articulado. FOi desenvolvido um código de programação na plataforma Arduino para permitir o controle do braço por meio de um smartphone. O braço foi modelado em um software de simulação 3d e e suas partes foram fabricadas por meio de impressão 3d. Após a fabricação, foi realizada sua montagem e espera-se instalar o braço em uma câmara de aquecimento utilizada no processo de spray pirólise para produção de placas fotovoltaicas.

“…But is battery energy storage so sustainable? When we think of the point of view of the energy source used, the advantages are evident, such as the capacity of storing the sun's energy, which is practically an inexhaustible source (Guney, 2022). Nevertheless, when we think about the production and disposal of batteries, the processes involved are far from ideal and the sustainability should already be reconsidered (Guney, 2022).…”

“…When we think of the point of view of the energy source used, the advantages are evident, such as the capacity of storing the sun's energy, which is practically an inexhaustible source (Guney, 2022). Nevertheless, when we think about the production and disposal of batteries, the processes involved are far from ideal and the sustainability should already be reconsidered (Guney, 2022). The use of rare minerals on a large scale, some of them heavy metals, should be considered as well as the impacts that the mining processes cause in emerging countries, such as Brazil.…”
