Carbon Capture's Role in Net-Zero: IDTechEx Explores CCUS Technologies
Achieving net zero by 2050 will require approximately 30 gigatonnes less CO2 to be emitted each year, alongside 2-10 gigatonnes of CO2 removal per year. CCUS has been recognized by many global bodies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the International Energy Agency, as a great decarbonization tool to help achieve these goals.

Dashboard Controls and Wall Heating - IDTechEx Explores Conductive Ink
Conductivity is a hot topic within the conductive inks sector, with a wide variation of requirements for it differing by application. The low current of capacitive touch sensors and the need for resistance in PTC (positive temperature coefficient) heaters means the conductivity requirement for these applications is low. On the other hand, power electronics stand at the far end of the spectrum, with high conductivity required for high efficiency and optimum results.
