Key Issues Addressed

The heat pump industry is now revolutionizing in terms of market uptake and initiatives toward grid decarbonization and wean away from Russian gas imports. Social and policy innovation will boost demand in the UK, Germany, and Ireland; high demand will be seen in France, Italy, and the Nordics and moderately high demand in Benelux, Austria, and Pol...

As the solar energy industry progresses on its path to becoming elemental to global energy supply, newer generation solar cells must overcome the limitations of silicon solar cells used today. These issues include material wastage during manufacturing, inability to provide flexible cell formats, and limitations to theoretical efficiency at a maximu...

The global energy industry is going through an unprecedented transition period, and this change is bringing exciting new growth opportunities to the oil and gas (O&G) sector. However, the shift to a net-zero future for carbon emissions means many companies are also facing pricing, energy security, and industry disruption struggles. The energy indus...

Geothermal energy involves the use of the underground heat generated from the Earth’s core for electricity and heating purposes. While solar and wind energy technologies represent the mainstream renewable energy sources, geothermal energy has its own distinct advantages. Its capacity to provide heating/cooling and power generation, the steady ene...

Water electrolysis using electrolyzers powered by renewable energy produces green hydrogen, considered the most sustainable hydrogen type. Conventional electrolyzers require high water purity for hydrogen production as the impurities and salt contents damage the electrode and other components of the electrolyzer cells. However, over 96.5% of natura...

The residential solar PV segment is witnessing a period of fast growth, driven by a combination of an increasingly favorable regulatory climate, higher electricity prices, and concerns over climate change. The restraints that have held the market back, primarily delays in approvals, have grown weaker, as governments gradually tackle these issues. T...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused significant disruption to global energy markets. Europe has felt the biggest impact as a significant buyer of oil, and particularly gas, from Russia. In fact, Russia accounted for 35.5% of Europe’s gas supply in 2021. As the volume of gas coming from Russia has fallen, Europe has been scrambling to secure...
