Research Overview

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems (EPS) TOE features information on the development of scalable and cost-efficient hydrogen storage technologies based on metal hydrides to accelerate the establishment of a hydrogen economy. The TOE covers innovations based on the design, fabrication and development of high energy density based lithium ion batteries which find extensive use in consumer electronics, mobility and wearable sector. The TOE additionally provides insights on the novel developments within electro-catalysts and the use of hybrid electrolyzers to accelerate the cost effective production of green hydrogen. The TOE provides latest innovations in the use of robust solar roofing systems with very high power conversion efficiency. The TOE also provides the latest insights on the use of geological thermal energy storage, modular nuclear fusion reactors and cloud based platforms to improve the performance efficiency of stationary and mobile battery storage systems.

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.
