The British have studied the possibility of a Severn tidal barrage for 100 years and its government has turned it down again recently as seriously uneconomic. It

IDTechEx Chairman, Dr Peter Harrop, discusses the rise of electric school buses with a focus on China and America

Fuel cell vehicles are being trialled in mines, on farms, in construction, on roads, as boats, as trains.

This article covers that the growth in healthcare expense reflects the expansion of healthcare coverage in developing markets, the increasing care needs of elderly populations, advances in treatments and health technologies and rising labour costs in the healthcare sector.

Mining Electric Vehicles and How their MW will be Made On-site Zero Emission

This article presents an overview of some of the key low power energy harvesting companies and technologies that both presented and attended the IDTechEx Show 2018 in Santa Clara

In this article, we look at the different roadmaps for genset replacement or elimination

Solar & Storage Live is one of the UK renewable energy industry's premier annual events and is attended by a range of technology developers and policy makers with an interest in the solar & storage market, both in the UK and internationally.

The global generator set (genset) industry is amidst a period of change and is under pressure from a variety of external considerations.

There were more presentations of the big picture.

Here is more on the HOMER microgrid conference in San Diego October 2018.

We attended the second day of this excellent two day conference staged in the luxurious paradise Resort in San Diego by HOMER a 20 person microgrid software company doing simulation, economics and design.

IDTechEx attended the Global Microgrid Innovation Forum in London September 12th- 14th. The event was attended by a broad mix of academic and commercial stakeholders as well as project developers and financers.

As explained in our new fluoropolymer report, the market for these formulations will at least double in the next 20 years largely powered by new electrical and electronic applications exploiting properties many of which are not even measured let alone made consistent in today's production lines.

IDTechEx attended the Global Power and Energy Exhibition in Barcelona from 17 - 20th September 2018

This article concerns TactoTek in Oulu Finland and how its technologies can scale up and create billion dollar businesses.

This is a technological megatrend. Dumb load-bearing metal structures move to plastic and composite and incorporate energy harvesting and storage material - massless energy. Indeed you could call some of it negative mass energy. Goodbye components-in-a-box.

There are two opposing views on storm survival by the new forms of sea power that are mobile and need no massive concrete and steel infrastructure unlike massive river dams, tidal barrages a offshore conventional wind towers.

AWE should be seen as part of a bigger picture. The next generation of zero emission electricity producing technologies has no huge steel and concrete infrastructure, so it can have much less cost and installation time and making it redeployable.
