Energy & Decarbonization

In this article, IDTechEx explores the global landscape of the nuclear fusion industry. With billions already invested in this revolutionary energy technology, how do the strengths and weaknesses of the USA, China, and Europe stack up against each other in the race for fusion energy?

Material opportunities for electrolyzers for green hydrogen.

This article explores the key innovation trends for catalysts and membranes across the AEL, PEMEL, AEMEL, and SOEC water electrolysis technologies. This article draws on research from IDTechEx's report, "Materials for Green Hydrogen Production 2026-2036: Technologies, Players, Forecasts".

The Li-ion battery recycling market is expanding rapidly through partnerships, funding, and new large-scale facilities using established recycling technologies to recover valuable materials. IDTechEx forecasts that the Li-ion battery recycling market will be valued at US$52B in 2045, but continued innovation and advancements in direct LIB recycling and battery-grade graphite recycling technologies will be crucial to realize this full value.

Sustainable technologies are generating a record amount of interest across many sectors. This article covers the landscapes of green steel, green hydrogen, and the push for countries to achieve decarbonization goals.

IDTechEx estimates that the composite material market for green energy applications will reach US$78 billion by 2046.

High-performance rare earth magnets are set to remain critical materials in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and robotics applications, despite a climate of intensifying supply risks, price pressures and export restrictions. As new rare earth supply chains emerge across the USA, Europe and Asia, IDTechEx characterizes growth opportunities presented for rare earth magnet technologies - from separation and refining to magnet production and recycling.

As the global push for decarbonization accelerates, wind power has become a cornerstone for the renewable energy transition. But behind its clean energy image lies a growing environmental challenge: a rising tide of end-of-life (EoL) wind turbine blades.

The demand for scalable and efficient storage is at an all-time high, with the strain on data centers becoming increasingly apparent. This article explores sustainable innovations for data centers, alongside cooling technologies.
