Off Grid Energy Independence

Biofuels are necessary in helping to decarbonize the entire transport sector, from which around 20% of global emissions are generated. From bioethanol for cars to SAF for planes, the entire fuel market is being re-evaluated in a light of sustainability. IDTechEx's portfolio of Sustainability Research Reports and Subscriptions covers an entire range of initiatives which aim to significantly lower harmful emissions.

The growth of lithium-ion batteries is happening largely in response to an increase in demand for applications such as electric vehicles and stationary energy storage, in line with global decarbonization goals. IDTechEx's portfolio of Batteries & Energy Storage Research Reports and Subscriptions, covers multiple battery and energy storage options, including the latest developments across the Li-ion market.

Ammonia is the world's second most produced chemical, with approximately 200 million tonnes made each year. While over 80% of this amount is used for fertilizer, other uses include refrigerants, pharmaceuticals, explosives, and textiles. IDTechEx's portfolios of Energy & Decarbonization and Hydrogen Research Reports and Subscriptions are home to IDTechEx's latest research into ammonia and describe the emerging sectors where ammonia could see future demand.

Globally, most of the electricity used by data centers comes from fossil fuels. While data center hyperscalers have long been offsetting this with market-based RECs (renewable energy certificates) and PPAs (power purchase agreements) from wind and solar projects, a transition to location-based and time-matched accounting is anticipated. This will demand new investment in low-carbon technologies that can meet the continuous power needs of data centers.

Global goals to decarbonize major sectors are bringing about increased investments and developments within the renewable energy space, and nuclear energy is one up-and-coming avenue gaining traction with the rise of small modular reactors. IDTechEx's portfolio of Energy & Decarbonization Research Reports and Subscriptions covers the latest developments.

Hydrogen is described by IDTechEx as 'a key enabler of energy transition' in the latest webinar on green hydrogen. IDTechEx's portfolio of Hydrogen Research Reports and Subscriptions covers the latest research on the hydrogen sector, as well as the key technologies working behind the scenes.

AEMEL combines the cost advantages of alkaline electrolysis with the operational flexibility of PEMEL, but limited system lifetime remains the key barrier to commercialization. This article explores AEMEL's technological advantages, key development challenges, and its potential role in the future green hydrogen market.

Decarbonization is becoming an increasingly prevalent goal across any major sectors globally to lower carbon footprints, with many sustainable practices and innovations now being introduced. IDTechEx's portfolio of Semiconductors, Data Centers, AI Research Reports and Subscriptions covers the latest clean energy and decarbonization developments for data centers and the electronics sector, to meet growing sustainability goals.

The solar energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. Rather than simply trying to replace incumbent silicon panels on standard metrics, perovskite photovoltaics are carving out entirely new markets by offering fundamentally differentiated value. Because of their inherent physical properties, such as flexibility, semi-transparency, light weight, and superior performance under varied lighting angles, perovskites can be deployed in environments where rigid silicon simply cannot.

Hydrogen is one natural gas that is proving to be a great source of renewable energy as far as decarbonization goals are concerned. Fuel cell vehicles, stationary fuel cells, and green hydrogen production are amongst the areas covered in IDTechEx's portfolio of Hydrogen Research Reports and Subscriptions, that each can contribute towards increasing sustainability across major sectors including automotives and energy storage.
