In Trinidad and Tobago, the University of the West Indies (UWI) St. Augustine's Department of Physics is intensifying research efforts towards renewable energy technologies to align with global sustainability goals. Led by Dr. Davinder Sharma, the department is investigating the utilization of wastewater in microbial fuel cells to generate electricity efficiently, with a particular focus on the Caribbean's requirements. Dr. Sharma's team is exploring various wastewater sources in the region to optimize the electricity generation process using innovative microbial fuel cell structures, aiming to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and combat global warming. Dr. Dinesh Pathak, also from UWI St. Augustine, is involved in pioneering research on thin-film solar panels as cost-effective and high-performance alternatives to traditional silicon solar cells. His work addresses the significance of harnessing solar energy efficiently in sun-rich areas like Trinidad and Tobago. Additionally, Dr. Vinod Kumar is engaged in enhancing energy processing and distribution in different types of solar cells to boost overall efficiency. By focusing on advancements in third generation solar cells, Dr. Kumar aims to improve device efficiency and compete with existing commercial solar technologies. The collective efforts of these researchers signify a positive step towards advancing renewable energy utilization in the Caribbean region.
