  5. Second-generation biofuels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-generation_biofuels

    The term second-generation biofuels is used loosely to describe both the 'advanced' technology used to process feedstocks into biofuel, but also the use of non-food crops, biomass and wastes as feedstocks in 'standard' biofuels processing technologies if suitable. This causes some considerable confusion. Therefore it is important to distinguish ...

  6. Third-generation photovoltaic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-generation...

    Third-generation photovoltaic cell. Third-generation photovoltaic cells are solar cells that are potentially able to overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit of 31–41% power efficiency for single bandgap solar cells. This includes a range of alternatives to cells made of semiconducting p-n junctions ("first generation") and thin film cells ...
