The traditional utility business model of a pure-play centralised power producer and provider will soon be extinct. Distributed generation (DG) will increasingly feature in new utility value propositions as utilities try to capture more downstream opportunities. These will include several models, from an aggregator of DG to providing complete energ...

Thermochemical waste treatment (TCWT) technologies are emerging as a cornerstone of next-generation waste-to-energy (WtE) and circular carbon systems. Through advanced pathways such as pyrolysis, gasification, hydrothermal liquefaction, and torrefaction, TCWT enables the transformation of municipal, industrial, and biomass waste into renewable fuel...

The distribution infrastructure and delivery sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the explosive growth of digital content consumption, the proliferation of edge computing, and the relentless evolution of security threats in an increasingly interconnected world. The focus in this sector has shifted from simply moving data effici...

Energy harvesting sensor solutions are emerging as a foundational layer for large-scale ambient IoT, enabling autonomous, battery-free sensing across distributed and infrastructure-intensive environments. By converting ambient energy sources such as light, heat, vibration, and RF into usable power, these sensors eliminate the need for wired power a...

The energy industry is the world’s most dynamic and in need of change. Electric utilities and power retailers are the backbone of the energy transition as they cope with increasing power demand and changing load patterns driven by electrification. They also enable greenhouse gas reductions by integrating distributed energy resources, such as solar ...
