After a challenging year in 2020, the year 2021 redefined the global energy industry in many ways. The world witnessed rising concern about climate change and demand for sustainable solutions and processes. Following the latest COP summit, more than 100 countries have pledged commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050. In North America, Canada announ...

Incorporating circular economy strategies in carbon black production will support sustainable development and benefit businesses, society, and the environment. A critical challenge for carbon black manufacturers is the high carbon emissions and combining the vital outcomes of high efficiency and sustainability. A shift to a low-carbon and regenerat...

The energy transition is a complex pathway for the overall global energy industry—including suppliers and users—towards a shift from systems based on fossil fuels to zero-carbon solutions. Timelines for eliminating carbon from energy systems vary by region, but most goals—including the Paris Agreement—focus on achieving net zero by the se...

Globally, the Middle East (ME) is one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change. Nearly every ME country has been subjected to some of the lowest precipitation levels historically, and hotter climatic conditions will lead to a surge in demand for electricity to power regional cooling requirements. In fact, cooling already accounts for 70% of...

Governments across the world are looking for solutions to mitigate climate change and pave the way for decarbonization. The route to decarbonization requires supportive regulatory frameworks that mandate energy efficiency and emission reduction measures across all sectors. To achieve a low-carbon future, significant economic investments in renewa...

The Latin American power and energy market is going through a considerable transformation. Renewable energies (RE) are rapidly replacing hydropower and fossil fuels’ dominance in power generation expansion as energy regulations continue to evolve to support decarbonization and decentralization roadmaps, while securing energy access for a projecte...

Continued concerns over global warming and increasing CO2 levels in our atmosphere undoubtedly transform how we generate, consume, and distribute energy. Governments worldwide are grappling for solutions to mitigate climate change and pave a pathway towards decarbonization. Our transition towards a sustainable future depends on developing alternati...

Stationary lithium-ion systems are key components of the energy storage architecture, which fulfill energy storage requirements for utilities, residential, and commercial customers. The global growth of renewable energy installations has increased intermittent energy production, creating an unbalanced grid. This has led to a demand for energy stora...

Global concerns about climate change have spurred a flurry of investments in renewable energy sources and other decarbonization initiatives. The efforts to focus on renewables were initiated at the 2016 COP21 in Paris, which led to countries setting renewable energy targets to achieve by 2030 in attempt to mitigate global warming. More recently, at...
