2018 was a remarkable year for stationary energy storage. Governments and policymakers around the world are beginning to wake up to the value batteries can offer to the grid, both in terms of flexibility and decarbonisation. Over 6GWh was deployed, and market leaders such as Tesla expect to double their deployments for 2019.

It is easy to say that, although small electric aircraft are at last selling, they are a negligible part of the overall aircraft market. Mistake. They will work up from the bottom to be mainstream. Airbus, Boeing and Rolls Royce know this, but many others are sleeping through the future. Some of the successes are from small companies.

行业领先专家兼 IDTechEx 研究主任 Khasha Ghaffarzadeh 博士最近针对柔性显示屏领域发表了以下文章。 试图取代ITO（铟锡氧化物）的各种技术现在也已经很老了，至少从它们已存在十五年的角度上来说是如此。这些技术似乎一直处于等待模式中，期待着重大突破的到来。长久以来，一个关键的差异化因素就在于寻求比 ITO 更高的柔性和可折叠性。现在的问题是，虽然最近的产品发布频繁延迟，但考虑到朝着柔性显示屏方向的范式转变终于到来，不同的技术选择将会如何发展？ 过去八年以来，IDTechEx 的领先分析师一直在研究相关技术以及市场前景。其持续研究的结果可在此处查看：《透明导电薄膜及材料 2019-2029：预测、技术、参与者》。这份报告对所有主要参与者和技术进行了详尽的分析，并对 10 种技术、20 个应用领域给出了细分的市场预测。

Expect seven-times the air traffic in 2050 increasing greenhouse gas X4 unless something radical happens. Elon Musk has made interesting statements about electric aircraft over the years. His Tesla will survive and prosper: if Tesla investors stop investing the Chinese will snap it up. Either way, somewhere down its list of priorities will be reinventing pure electric aircraft, so what does Tesla bring to the table?

Hydropower takes years to install and it can drown vegetation creating years of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Dams have burst in three countries recently. Fortunately many better options are available or emerging. The strong trend now is to making electricity where you need it, from your solar watch to your village microgrid. Both are evidence of another trend which is the ability to move your zero-emission electricity generation.

Plug-in electric cars are forecast by IDTechEx to sell over 25million units per year in 2029 making up around 30% of total sales by that point. However, electrification does not stop at cars; buses, trucks, construction, mining, two-wheelers, boats, aircraft, and more are all progressing towards electric drive. This combined market shift makes the technologies enabling this transformation a key battleground with plenty to win and lose.
