The energy sector in Namibia is dominated by liquid fuel usage, imported electricity and local wood fuel supplies. Namibia's economic growth potential lies in the development of its mines and the discovery of oil and gas. This research service gives a comprehensive analysis of the current energy situation in Namibia as well as the country's future ...

Solid-state batteries are emerging as a key technology for the future of electric vehicles and grid storage, offering enhanced safety, energy density, durability, and thermal stability compared with conventional lithium-ion systems. Advances in inorganic, polymer, and hybrid solid electrolytes, lithium-metal anodes, and next-generation cathodes are...

The global smart meter market continued to register strong growth in 2019, as major rollouts continued to accelerate. China led the trail and various pockets of Europe went ahead with large-scale pilots and installing second-generation smart meters. China continued to account for more than half of the global market, holding 56.2% of the total shipm...

For the first half of the 2010s, natural gas was widely considered the fuel of the future, and the 2020s on would see the “Golden Age of Gas,” to quote the International Energy Agency (IEA). However, the prospects for natural gas have become much more uncertain for the second half of this decade, with some sceptics promoting the idea that gas does ...

Global smart grid investment is likely to grow rapidly. By 2025, a complete transformation to a smarter grid is unlikely but the process would have gained pace with major changes underway in grid automation, demand-side management, and Big Data analytics. Revenue growth will be the fastest in Europe. Demand response and advanced metering infrastruc...

This research explores the powerful global forces that will reshape business, society, and technology over the coming decade, offering a holistic view of the megatrends redefining the future operating environment. These forces span geopolitical fragmentation, demographic divergence, technological acceleration, environmental pressures, and fundament...

Global public R&D institutes have always been the main driver of innovation and technology domain in the energy sector. The importance of public R&D for energy sector is further highlighted by the need for accelerated commercialization of emerging technologies that have been identified as vital for deep decarbonization of the global energy sector b...

In 1921, geophysical acquisition technology which involves the generation and acquisition of seismic data to image sub-surface geology revolutionized earth science and resource exploration. Seismic technologies have come a long way since then; they now have the ability to illuminate and image complex subsurface targets at lower acquisition costs. O...

This study covers the development of different battery chemistries including lead-based, lithium-based, sodium-based, nickel-based, zinc-based and flow batteries. The study also analyses the application sectors that employ these batteries, mainly automotive, healthcare, telecommunications, consumer electronics and utility-grid, and the innovations ...
