Key energy solution for reducing global emissions; 33-fold growth for MOFs in carbon capture; and challenges for the electric coach market

Key Drivers for Thermal Energy Storage Technologies in Industry

Industrial heating processes, traditionally reliant on fossil fuels, are responsible for ~25% of global emissions. With an understandable focus on how to decarbonize this area of industry, a key solution is emerging - thermal energy storage (TES). But with a lot of competition for funding, how will TES fare?

Our analyst Conrad Nichols explains the drivers and initiatives that will influence where the greatest TES market growth is expected to be seen over the coming decade.


Why MOF Players Are Becoming Carbon Capture Companies

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are gathering interest for a wide range of applications, with carbon capture is fast emerging as a key application. In the last 3-5 years, several startups have strategically pivoted to focus on MOF-based carbon capture technologies, with commercial systems expected to enter the market before the turn of the decade.

Find out more about how MOF-based technologies are positioned well to capitalize on the growing carbon capture market.

As City Buses Turn Electric, What Awaits the Electric Coach Market?

Electric buses are booming, with over half of all city bus sales in Europe in 2023 being electric and some regions currently well ahead of the EU's target for 100% of new city buses to be zero emission by 2035. However, in the coach segment, only around 1% of sales were electric across the same period. What is holding back electrification for coaches while buses are seeing such success?

Learn more about what is driving the growth in the city bus segment and whether the coach market can replicate this success.

Watch our free on-demand webinar, 'How Electric Buses are Disrupting a Decades-Old Industry'.

IDTechEx research indicates that the sales of city buses are strong in Europe. By contrast, the coach segment is lagging behind, with less than 1% electric sales in 2023. Source: IDTechEx
