emissions. This portfolio will be used to encourage other organisations to
employ technology to further reduce their carbon emissions.



Using your lesson notes and research you have carried out into applications
that reduce carbon emissions, produce a portfolio of case studies for Friends
of the Earth.



Choose any THREE case studies from the following list to include in your
portfolio:



 Polymers for electrolyte membranes and ceramic based electrodes
in fuel cells
Task  Glass fibre composites and aluminium in wind turbine blades
 Silicon wafer and cadmium telluride in solar photovoltaic cells
 Allium arsenide (GaA) and gallium nitride in light-emitting diodes
(LEDs)

For each case study chosen provide information about the functionality
