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. IDTechEx's "Sustainability for Data Centers 2027-2037: Green Technologies, Market Forecasts, and Players" report analyses the role emerging clean energy technologies could play in data center decarbonization.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/meeting-data-center-power-demand-solar-nuclear-and-beyond/35330?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/meeting-data-center-power-demand-solar-nuclear-and-beyond/35330?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81Thu, 24 Sep 2026 ZZZe.pope@idtechex.com (Eve Pope) 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.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/nuclear-energy-decarbonization-and-global-smrs/35327?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/nuclear-energy-decarbonization-and-global-smrs/35327?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81Wed, 23 Sep 2026 ZZZl.schuett@idtechex.com (Lily-Rose Schuett) Hydrogen is described by IDTechEx as 'a key enabler of energy transition' in the latest webinar on green hydrogen.

Ammonia is produced from hydrogen and nitrogen. Conventionally, the hydrogen is sourced from natural gas, tying its production to price volatility and geopolitical supply risks as has been seen at the Straight of Hormuz. Decoupling ammonia production from natural gas is occurring via green ammonia production, which uses the electrolysis of water as a hydrogen feedstock.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/growing-ammonia-infrastructure-enabling-new-energy-carriers/35198?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/growing-ammonia-infrastructure-enabling-new-energy-carriers/35198?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81Wed, 26 Aug 2026 ZZZt.bithell@idtechex.com (Thomas Bithell) Innovations in renewable energy have never been so prevalent, with global decarbonization goals pushing for developments in ways to generate power that have no harmful or long-lasting environmental impacts.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/smr-supply-chains-and-perovskites-renewable-energy-tech/35197?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/smr-supply-chains-and-perovskites-renewable-energy-tech/35197?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81Tue, 25 Aug 2026 ZZZl.schuett@idtechex.com (Lily-Rose Schuett) By 2027, two first-of-a-kind SAF plants will be operational in the US.

Chemical recycling is expected to play an important role in helping companies comply with these rules by enabling difficult-to-recycle materials, such as multilayer packaging and mixed plastic waste, to be processed into valuable recycled feedstocks. The regulation also establishes ambitious recycled-content targets through 2040, strengthening the case for mass balance accounting approaches that support chemically recycled materials. IDTechEx believes these regulatory changes are likely to be a major driver for the growth and adoption of chemical recycling technologies in the coming decade.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/how-does-chemical-recycling-fit-in-the-ppwr/35139?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/how-does-chemical-recycling-fit-in-the-ppwr/35139?rsst2id=258%2C5%2C203%2C230%2C270%2C81Mon, 17 Aug 2026 ZZZj.carey@idtechex.com (Joe Carey)
