Off Grid

From gas separation membranes and carbon capture to sustainable biofuels and next-generation feedstocks, IDTechEx's expansive portfolio of Sustainability Research Reports and Subscriptions covers a huge range of technologies, with deep dives into different sustainable markets, with forecasts for their developments spanning the next decade.

The increased uptake of hydrogen as a fuel will begin to increase the sustainability across a number of sectors. This article explores how the steel and transportation industries in particular are amongst those expected to benefit most significantly from the use of low-carbon hydrogen.

From atomic nuclei and the sun to hydrogen and recycled fuels, energy sources today originate from a vast array of sustainable sources. This article covers some of the largest up and coming energy sources that contribute to clean energy efforts worldwide.

The reliability of high-tech, miniaturized technologies is something easily assumed, but could they be reaching their peak? The looming presence of recent solar flare activity impacting communications is a reminder of the large and ever-present phenomenon of outer space, and could mean preparing for the return of communication-by-pigeon.

Stationary fuel cells and green hydrogen production have been two main points of interest under the hydrogen umbrella, with the rise of decarbonization and sustainable energy trends making way for innovations within the renewable energy sector. This article explores some of the latest developments within the hydrogen sector.

The renewable energy sector is becoming increasingly enriched with the developments of clean, green, and natural power sources, with hydrogen and solar being two of the biggest technology names rising within the industry. This article covers some of their latest applications including solar canopy charging, stationary fuel cells, and hydrogen planes.

Developments in the renewable energy sector are increasingly generating attention, as sustainability and decarbonization goals are becoming exponentially prevalent. This article covers new technologies from green hydrogen to nuclear fusion.

One solution to growing economic uncertainty, energy price increases, and fuel uncertainty may be turning towards oil and gas reserves that have previously been untapped. This article covers technologies including carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery and gas separation membranes.

In April 2024, global energy, technology, and utility provider Hitachi Energy announced a US$1.5 billion investment program to ramp up global transformer production by 2027. IDTechEx's research into electrical grids indicates that transformers are a critical component and potential supply bottleneck for large-scale grid upgrades. These upgrades are essential as society shifts from a transportation sector fuelled by petrochemicals transported in tankers to a sector powered by electricity carried by wires.
