Day 2 · Workshop tool · Pillar 2 & 4
Twenty-one intersections. Twenty-one dominant levers. Click any cell to pin the green-manufacturing opportunity for discussion.
How to use this in class
Homework: pick one cell and rewrite the lever in your own field’s language. Peer debate: “Which sector’s stage-N opportunity is highest leverage?”
| Stage ↓ / Sector → | ☀️ Solar PV | 🧵 Textiles | 🚗 Electric Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 · Product Design | Cell architecture ladder (PERC → TOPCon → HJT → tandem); bifaciality. | Mono-material + design for recycled input; durability brief. | LFP vs NMC; cell-to-pack; modular pack for second-life. |
| 02 · Extraction / Agri | FBR vs Siemens polysilicon (−80–90% electricity). | Better Cotton / recycled cotton / lyocell vs CS₂ viscose. | LFP removes Co/Ni; DLE for lithium where feasible. |
| 03 · Production | Decarbonise cell-plant electricity; relocate to hydro/wind. | Waterless CO₂ dyeing; bio-MEG; efficiency curve. | Renewables-powered cell plants; LFP footprint edge. |
| 04 · Distribution | Local module assembly — resilience > carbon. | Near-shore / regional finishing hubs. | Sea/rail only; co-locate pack assembly in markets. |
| 05 · Use | Site where the grid is dirtiest; peak-load hours. | Cold wash; filters; fibre coatings; durability. | Smart charging into clean grid windows. |
| 06 · End of Use | Recycling capacity bottleneck; producer take-back. | Separate collection + fibre-to-fibre infrastructure. | Second-life before recycle; design packs for reuse. |
| 07 · Circular Economy | Silver loop; co-locate recycling with gigafactories. | rPET at scale; fibre-to-fibre next; EPR-financed hubs. | Brunp hydromet playbook; hub-and-spoke regional model. |
