Over the course of two days, on February 22-23, representatives of Kronenthal visited the Philippines. The purpose of the visit was to assess the site for the future project and discuss the terms of cooperation with MCDP. Key stages of the visit included: site inspection and negotiations on the key aspects of the deal. During the visit, the following important topics were discussed: • Infrastructure assessment, which involved analyzing the site and evaluating technical conditions. • Negotiations between both parties, covering legal, financial, and commercial matters. • Strategic planning, focusing on defining the mechanisms for project implementation. The final discussions will include agreement on deal terms and the launch of preparatory work in the Philippines.

Green Energy Trends in 2025

 Green energy continues to develop rapidly, gradually replacing traditional sources such as fossil fuels and nuclear power plants. Analysts predict that by 2025, more than a third of the world's electricity will be generated from renewable sources. The growing demand for clean energy is driving technological innovation and large-scale investment in sustainable infrastructure.

 Key Technologies

 Solar Energy
Solar energy remains at the forefront of renewable energy sources. New technologies are increasing efficiency while reducing costs, making solar power more accessible.
 1. Bifacial solar panels – These panels capture sunlight from both sides, significantly increasing energy output compared to traditional single-sided panels. This method is particularly effective in areas with high surface reflectivity.
 2. Perovskite solar cells – One of the most promising innovations, providing over 30% efficiency at a lower cost than traditional silicon-based panels. Their flexibility and lightweight properties allow for integration into urban architecture.
 3. TOPCon technology – An advanced solar cell design approach. TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) minimizes energy loss and extends the lifespan of solar modules, making them more efficient over time.

 Additionally, transparent solar panels are being developed, which can be integrated into windows and building facades, turning entire cities into energy-generating hubs.

 Energy Storage Solutions
 As the share of renewable electricity increases, the need for efficient storage systems grows. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are emerging as a promising alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries, offering greater durability, safety, and cost efficiency. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are also being integrated into battery management systems (BMS), optimizing charge cycles, extending battery lifespan, and predicting maintenance needs.

 Wind Energy
 According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), wind energy is expected to surpass nuclear energy in global electricity generation by 2025. The expansion of both onshore and offshore wind farms is supported by government programs and technological advancements in turbine efficiency.

 - Offshore wind farms are gaining momentum due to their ability to harness stronger and more consistent winds. Notable projects include the Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the UK, expected to supply electricity to six million homes, and the He Dreiht Offshore Wind Farm in Germany, which will provide energy for over one million households.
 - Next-generation turbines are becoming larger and more efficient, with AI-driven maintenance and predictive analytics minimizing downtime and maximizing energy output.
