Energy & Decarbonization

The global push toward decarbonization and renewable energy has kept next-generation solar technologies firmly in the spotlight. As analyzed in the newly released IDTechEx report "Perovskite Photovoltaics 2027-2037: Technologies, Markets & Trends", supported by government initiatives and surging private investments, perovskite photovoltaics (PV) remains one of the most intensely watched sectors in the energy transition.

The electric vehicle market has been steadily growing in recent years as part of global efforts to reduce harmful emissions and increase the overall sustainability of road transport. Demand for individual vehicle parts including battery cells and motors has therefore ramped up as a result.

Introducing sustainability goals to long standing, established industries can be difficult. However, global environmental awareness and ramped up regulations are proving to help make changes across major sectors, with the creation of bioproducts and reduced emission processes. This article covers bioplastics, biomanufacturing, and biofuels.

From nuclear reactors to photovoltaics, clean energy is as hot a topic as any, with numerous players striving for scalability across the sector to lessen reliance on fossil fuels. This article covers some of the technologies involved with generating clean energy.

In this article, IDTechEx analyzes the potential of nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) to satisfy the growing power demand of AI data centers. Tech hyperscalers like Amazon, Google, and Meta are already making investments in SMR startups, with IDTechEx forecasting the global SMR market to reach US$53.8 billion in 2036 and almost US$300 billion by 2046.

Over the next 10 years, IDTechEx forecasts direct revenue from the sale of carbon dioxide utilization products to increase to 69 billion US dollars.

Carbon dioxide is the leading greenhouse gas emitted by human activity, triggering climate change and negatively impacting the environment. This article covers CCUS and its role in increasing sustainability.
