In this article we introduce some guidelines useful in formulating your strategy. In other articles we have given the latest on tools that are useful such as the profitability V curve and the experience curve.

Thursday 11 February 2021 - More Cells, Less Pack: Materials for Electric Vehicle Batteries. This webinar covers An overview of materials used in battery cells and battery packs; Key OEM designs and how this could change; and The impact of the above on material demands and markets.

Hydrogen is regarded by many as the future of propulsion technology. The first hydrogen-powered cars are already in action on German roads. In the case of e-scooters, however, installation of a high-pressure tank to store the hydrogen is impractical. An alternative here is POWERPASTE. This provides a safe way of storing hydrogen in a chemical form that is easy to transport and replenish without the need for an expensive network of filling stations.

General Graphene Corporation produce roll-to-roll CVD graphene. IDTechEx spoke with Kevin Weir, Director of Business Development

In a step towards a new type of energy storage, researchers have developed a hybrid supercapacitor that offers the best of both worlds in energy storage.

Blue World Technologies have agreed to collaborate with Karma Automotive to explore the viability of a fuel cell system to provide primary propulsion power for a variety of future passenger and light commercial vehicles. Fuel cells enable fast refueling and extremely long driving ranges, and with zero harmful emissions provide a green alternative to the internal combustion engine.

A valuable tool in predicting risk and enduring profitability of businesses is the profitability V curve.

Paragraf develop and produce graphene-based electronic devices. IDTechEx spoke with Dr Thomas (CEO).

Fuel cell proponents keep being pushed back to ever larger vehicles in selling their dream of vehicle power. The battle for the smaller stuff - delivery trucks, pick-up trucks, boats and light aircraft - is over.

This IDTechEx Premium article contains some of the major news stories seen across 2020 for green technology. This includes expansions, acquisitions, partnerships, withdrawals, and more.

In 1936, Theodore Paul Wright, at Curtiss-Wright in the United States, found that every time total aircraft production doubled, the required labour time for a new aircraft fell by 20%. This has become known as "Wright's law".

Thursday 4 February 2021 - This webinar will include: Battery technologies; The main players in the industry; Key geographical markets; and Competition from plug-in hybrids, 48V hybrids and battery electric vehicles

Volkswagen Group Components opened the Group's first plant for recycling electric car batteries in Salzgitter. The aim is the industrialized recovery of valuable raw materials such as lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt in a closed loop together with aluminum, copper and plastics, achieving a recycling rate of more than 90% over the long term.
