Research Overview

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems (EPS) TOE features deployment of polymer-based gas separation membranes useful for a wide range of applications, use of highly efficient hydrogen compression and purification systems that can replace expensive membrane separation processes for hydrogen separation and recovery. The TOE also provides insights on the installation of a scalable thermal battery technology for cost-effective energy storage. The TOE provides latest innovations in the use of blockchain-based services to verify energy sources and to enable digital transformation of the energy industry. The TOE also provides latest insights on the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) battery-based long duration energy storage, pressure swing adsorption-based hydrogen recovery from gas streams, and the use of software platforms to optimize the decision making of micro-grids ecosystem.

The Energy and Power Systems TOE provides insights on the latest advances in the broad range of technology related to the energy industry. The topics regularly presented range from energy storage technologies (solid-state batteries, solar chemical storage and other advanced energy storage devices) to non-renewable energy such as oil and gas. Special emphasis is given to emerging areas in the renewable sector such as photovoltaics, wind energy, and geothermal energy, and emerging alternative fuels such as hydrogen, syngas, ethanol and biofuels. The EPS TOE keeps clients abreast of the latest R&D developments at major corporate and academic research centers, provides competitor intelligence and helps create strategic alliances.

The Energy and Environment cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
