Dimensional Energy

Dimensional Energy is a green technology company developing a catalytic process for creating aviation fuel from carbon dioxide and sunlight. In October 2020, IDTechEx Technology Analyst Dr Michael Dent spoke with Jason Salfi, co-founder and CEO of Dimensional Energy about the company and its technologies.

3D Printed "Invisible" Fibres Sense Breath, Sound, Biological Cells

From capturing your breath to guiding biological cell movements, 3D printing of tiny, transparent conducting fibres could be used to make devices which can 'smell, hear and touch' - making it particularly useful for health monitoring, Internet of Things and biosensing applications.

Shell to Supply Renewable Energy to Microsoft

Shell International Petroleum Company Limited and Microsoft Corporation are embarking on a new strategic alliance to support progress towards a world with net-zero emissions.

General Motors (2020)

After a promising start in the 1990s with the EV1, a heated legal battle between US automakers and California ultimately killed GM's electrification plans for a decade. In 2020, despite being in second place behind Tesla in US electric vehicle sales, the company is still behind the curve - but has exciting plans to catch up.

Heraeus: CucorAl Plus

At the recent ChargedEVs event, Heraeus demonstrated a new material for interconnects in electric vehicle power modules, that combines the advantages of aluminium and copper.

Corvus Energy (2020)

Corvus Energy is the leading maritime battery supplier. This update, based on an IDTechEx interview, discusses the impact of covid-19 on marine electrification, the latest trends and data on the company's expanded product line-up, the threats to electrification in the short-term and a market outlook for the sector.

EcoPro

EcoPro are a South Korean company who have expanded into the Li-ion industry and are positioning themselves as a key supplier of cathode materials.

Tritium Unveils Vision for Electric Vehicles

Tritium has released a white paper which provides a glimpse into the near future of electric vehicle technologies.

Hyper-Efficient Conservation Robot

For the next several months, visitors to the Atlanta Botanical Garden will be able to observe the testing of a new high-tech tool in the battle to save some of the world's most endangered species. SlothBot, a slow-moving and energy-efficient robot that can linger in the trees to monitor animals, plants, and the environment below, will be tested near the Garden's popular Canopy Walk.

Tritium Launches World-First Plug and Charge Technology

The technology enables an electric vehicle and charger to communicate seamlessly and authorise payments directly from the driver's account, without the need for a card or RFID tag.

Helio

Helio is focused on perovskite quantum dot or similar materials aimed at display applications.

Charging infrastructure: the key for electric vehicle take-off

Global plug-in electric vehicle (EV) population reached 7.5 million units (including light commercial vehicles) by the end of 2019.

3D-Printed Concrete to Help Build Offshore Wind Infrastructure

Conventional concrete manufacturing methods require a mold to shape the concrete into the desired structure, which adds to costs and limits design possibilities. 3D-printing would eliminate the expenses of this mold.

European Collaboration on Innovative Membrane-less Redox Flow Battery

The EU recently awarded €4Million to the MELODY consortium, to develop low cost, innovative batteries for large-scale energy storage, as part of the Horizon 2020 program 'Advanced Redox Flow Batteries for stationary energy storage.'

Shell Aims to be Net Zero in 2050

Shell plans to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner (covering scope one, two and three emissions).

Sonnen

Sonnen is a home battery maker with an international presence and a market leader in Europe. It has an innovative virtual power plant business model.

Solar Energy Solutions for Facades

Photovoltaic elements are usually found on rooftops - after all, that's where solar irradiation is highest. However, as researchers have discovered, PV elements on facades can be a useful way to supplement the power supply. If appropriately designed, they can be attractively integrated and deliver 50 percent more energy than existing types of wall-mounted PV elements. Even concrete walls are suitable.

Quantum Dots: Progress, Challenges And Future In LED Lighting

In this article, we discuss the challenges and prospects faced by QDs in the general lighting market. This article draws from the report "Quantum Dot Materials and Technologies 2020-2030: Trends, Markets, Players".

Hot Performance and Cool Operation for Electric Vehicle Motors

The market for electric vehicles is set to exceed $1,000bn by 2030 but potential consumers are still concerned with range, cost and safety. Whilst this draws attention initially to the battery, an equally important factor and unifying component of electric vehicles is the electric motor and its effective thermal management.

A Way Forward for Large Scale Storage of Renewable Energy

A technique based on the principles of MRI and NMR has allowed researchers to observe not only how next-generation batteries for large-scale energy storage work, but also how they fail, which will assist in the development of strategies to extend battery lifetimes in support of the transition to a zero-carbon future.
