Hydrogen is described by IDTechEx as 'a key enabler of energy transition' in the latest webinar on green hydrogen. This article covers some of IDTechEx's latest research on the hydrogen sector, as well as the key technologies working behind the scenes.

Hydrogen is one natural gas that is proving to be a great source of renewable energy as far as decarbonization goals are concerned. Fuel cell vehicles, stationary fuel cells, and green hydrogen production are amongst the areas covered in IDTechEx's portfolio of Hydrogen Research Reports and Subscriptions.

Thermal runaway and system safety are critical topics when it comes to using lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries in electric vehicles. A key focus for the EV industry is the need to apply fire protection materials to prevent or delay thermal runaway propagating between cells and eventually outside of the battery pack. With growing regulatory momentum and safety standards, this article from IDTechEx looks at the outlook for fire protection materials market.

Thermal management strategies are the underdogs of modern technologies, reducing the risks of overheating in cases where exponentially increasing demand for power can lead to component temperatures rising.

The landscape of transportation looks vastly different today than it did two decades ago. The introduction of electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles is not only having positive environmental impacts as combustion engines gradually fade out, but passenger safety has never been such a high priority.

The battery sector is rapidly growing in multiple directions, with battery storage technologies expected to be responsible for powering many major sectors including data centers and 6G power stations, and solid-state batteries gaining increasing amounts of attention for their safer chemistries.

Electric vehicles are continuing to play a vital role in decarbonizing the transport industry as they help with the shift away from fossil fuel reliance with their utilization of battery technologies. This article covers micro EVs, materials, and thermal management.

The battery management system (BMS) is described as the 'brain' of the battery. It is responsible for controlling operation, safety and thermal regulation, as well as interpreting data from the battery pack's sensor systems. This article discusses trends in BMS technology, and the potential to realize vehicle-level improvements to range, safety and lifetime.

The UK Government has announced that it will invest more than £5 billion in drones and autonomous systems over the remainder of the current Parliament. This represents the UK's largest-ever investment in uncrewed warfare and reflects a wider shift in global defence procurement. Armed forces are placing greater emphasis on uncrewed platforms that can be deployed at scale, produced at relatively low cost, and updated rapidly.

The market for electric off-highway machines has evolved rapidly in the last 5 years and continues to grow in its commercial relevance. This article highlights three key trends that will serve to shape the off-highway battery market over the next 10 years.
