Veolia provides solutions for water, waste, and energy management. The company also operates in the Li-ion battery recycling market.

As electric vehicle (EV) power electronics undergoes a paradigm shift towards wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, it is clear that silicon carbide (SiC) is becoming the material of choice, while gallium nitride (GaN) is often shoe-boxed into telecommunications or optoelectronics applications.

Cirba Solutions were founded in 1991 and provide battery recycling and end-of-life processing services in North America.

Cryomotive GmbH is a German start-up developing cryo-compressed hydrogen storage systems for use in hydrogen refueling stations and heavy-duty fuel cells electric vehicles (FCEVs).

Siemens Mobility is a division of multinational conglomerate Siemens with a focus on manufacturing trains and developing rail technologies. The company has a large presence in the European market where it has been developing battery electric multiple units (BMUs) to replace diesel.

Thermal Interface Material (TIM) plays an important role in power electronics, computing processors, sensors, and energy storage devices. TIMs are the materials used to fill the void between heat sources and heat sinks to enhance heat transfer.

Wiferion develops and provides contactless inductive wireless energy systems intended for industrial and mobile robotics applications. IDTechEx spoke to Mr Matthieu Ebert, Vice President of Wiferion North America, to learn more about Wiferion's technology, ahead of their official launch of the subsidiary in Chicago.

The clean hydrogen market is poised for growth, driven by decarbonization efforts and concerns around energy security. A number of ambitious targets and roadmaps are being set out by different governments and regions. Clean hydrogen can refer to a number of routes for producing hydrogen, but the primary among them are green and blue hydrogen.

Saft is a worldwide battery company founded in France in 1918 and acquired by Total Energies in 2016. Saft makes specialty high performance battery cells and packs for military applications, motor sports, marine, rail and has a long history in batteries for space applications.

Wabtec is a leading developer of battery electric locomotives in the US market.
