Description

This edition of the Energy and Power Systems Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) features information on cost-efficient and sustainable hydrogen production promoting hydrogen powered cars and the utilization of nanomaterials with light absorbing molecules for hydrogen generation from sunlight. The TOE also features a breakthrough technology that enables green hydrogen production. The TOE focuses on innovations associated with the use of graphene-based catalysts for enhancing the economic viability of hydrogen fuel cells. The TOE additionally provides insights on the latest developments in the use of cost-effective catalysts for electrolysis-based hydrogen generation, the latest trends in power-to-X-to-power mechanisms for decarbonizing industrial processes, the use of tungsten-based catalysts for enhancing the durability of fuel cells.

The Energy and Power Systems TOE provides insights on the latest advances in the broad range of technology related to the energy industry. The topics regularly presented range from energy storage technologies (solid state batteries, solar chemical storage and other advanced energy storage devices) to non-renewable energy such as oil and gas. Special emphasis is given to emerging areas in the renewable sector such as photovoltaics, wind energy, and geothermal energy, and emerging alternative fuels such as hydrogen, syngas, ethanol and biofuels. The EPS TOE keeps clients abreast of the latest R&D developments at major corporate and academic research centers, provides competitor intelligence and helps create strategic alliances.

The Energy and Environment cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
