Off Grid

An important new trend is buying electrics and electronics you customise to function not just shape. See the new IDTechEx report, "Complete Electronics as Smart Material, User-Customized 2020-2040". Builders, textile manufacturers, those doing home improvement and others are starting to buy electrically-smart materials direct from materials companies, bypassing the electronics industry.

In the over one hundred electric vehicle sectors tracked by IDTechEx, we predominantly foresee a transition partly or completely to a traction battery over the next two decades. The case is not so simple for the marine sector: due to the sheer scale of the power, energy and distance requirements for many vessels, reducing maritime emissions will require solutions varying from batteries and fuel cells to premium fuels, scrubbers and slow-steaming.

There is a huge amount of new research on supercapacitors and their variants and particularly on their materials, because these control their performance and cost more than anything. This webinar shares some of the research from the new IDTechEx report, "Supercapacitor Materials and Formats 2020-2040".

Global plug-in electric vehicle (EV) population reached 7.5 million units (including light commercial vehicles) by the end of 2019. Although plug-in EV is only around 2% of global sales today, they are positioned to take the lead of road transportation in the coming decade.

This webinar provides analysis on IDTechEx's latest research into thermal interface materials. This will include an overview of the material trends, the market landscape, and highlight two case studies.

This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, "Energy Harvesting for Electronic Devices 2020-2040". It comes at just the right time. The world's first self-powered smart watches have just arrived. They are not full-function but we are getting there. That billion a year harvester potential will be followed by similar numbers of Internet of Things nodes. Learn other big prizes making several of the world's largest companies research energy harvesting.

Learn how zero-emission microgrids will slice into the energy market to become a massive $350Bn business in 2040. See the examples of mining, remote villages and urban water taxis. For distributed generation, what is the most popular new form of high-power solar harvesting after silicon and why? Examples? It is all in this webinar.

Global plug-in electric vehicle (EV) population reached 7.5 million units (including light commercial vehicles) by the end of 2019.

With the growing population of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs), the charging infrastructure industry is also progressing quickly to meet the ever-increasing demand for recharging the EV batteries.

Data can drive insights, increase efficiency, and provide detailed information about current water and wastewater networks. The water industry is one which has many unknowns, and more data can provide help to this mature and large industry.
