Energy & Decarbonization

Decarbonization is becoming an increasingly prevalent goal across any major sectors globally to lower carbon footprints, with many sustainable practices and innovations now being introduced. This article covers decarbonization developments for data centers and electronics.

Hydrogen is one natural gas that is proving to be a great source of renewable energy as far as decarbonization goals are concerned. Fuel cell vehicles, stationary fuel cells, and green hydrogen production are amongst the areas covered in IDTechEx's portfolio of Hydrogen Research Reports and Subscriptions.

The solar energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. Rather than simply trying to replace incumbent silicon panels on standard metrics, perovskite photovoltaics are carving out entirely new markets by offering fundamentally differentiated value.

IDTechEx finds that the green hydrogen production market will reach $166Bn by 2037.

The landscape of transportation looks vastly different today than it did two decades ago. The introduction of electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles is not only having positive environmental impacts as combustion engines gradually fade out, but passenger safety has never been such a high priority.

IDTechEx's portfolio of Advanced Materials & Critical Minerals Research Reports is one of its most diverse, covering the latest developments across many advanced materials including conductive inks, graphene, and more.

The battery sector is rapidly growing in multiple directions, with battery storage technologies expected to be responsible for powering many major sectors including data centers and 6G power stations, and solid-state batteries gaining increasing amounts of attention for their safer chemistries.

Ammonia is the world's 2nd most produced chemical, and 80% of it is currently used to produce fertilizers. 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.

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.
