According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the aviation industry accounts for 2% of global carbon emissions. Total cumulative emissions reached approximately 800 million tons in 2022, and cumulative emissions are expected to reach approximately 1,750-2,000 million tons by 2050. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has committ...

The edge AI accelerator market is scaling rapidly as industries demand low-latency, privacy-aware intelligence for autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, smart cameras, robotics, and other applications. Cloud-based inference faces more limits from bandwidth, latency, and data sovereignty concerns, creating a strong pull for on-device AI proces...

This report provides a comprehensive evaluation of emerging technologies, system architectures, and techno-economic dynamics shaping the global Power-to-X landscape. Covering Power-to-Hydrogen, Power-to-Gas, Power-to-Liquid, Power-to-Chemicals, and Power-to-Mobility pathways, the study examines how renewable electricity can be transformed into hydr...

The global energy demand from the building and construction sector continues to rise, mainly due to rapid expansion of buildings’ floor area and global climate change. Ambitious, yet compelling, zero energy buildings (ZEB) are deemed to directly and effectively address the global issues on climate change and energy scarcity. As defined in this s...

The omnipresent influence of plastics in modern lifestyle has led to the production of about 300 million tons of fossil fuel-based plastics annually, according to the UN. About half of the total plastics produced till date are thrown away after a single use, and about 60% of the waste ends up in landfills or accumulates in the environment. It is pr...

Increasing air pollution, urbanization, and industrialization severely degrade air quality, which worsens when natural calamities such as wildfires occur. The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 pandemic) and rising public awareness of the dangers of air pollution significantly accelerated the demand for air purification units in residential a...

Today, the vast majority of plastic is still made from fossil fuel and is designed to be durable. However, the twin challenges of reducing fossil fuel consumption and decreasing plastic waste brought in some significant changes to the plastic industry in 2022. Options to counter these challenges include the use of plastic that is biobased or biodeg...

The pace of digital transformation by US water utilities has significantly increased in the last 5 years in response to water stress caused by unprecedented droughts and heat waves across the country. Water utilities of all sizes are responding to state-level regulations and policies to improve water conservation and reduce water loss as the urbani...

The rising population is driving global water demand and putting significant pressure on the global water supply chain. The United Nations estimates that half of the global population will face water shortages by 2025, and the situation is expected to intensify and lead to 700 million people facing displacement by 2030 due to water shortages. Desal...
