The future is electric - and it could be much more than that. It's about on-demand cars, virtual showrooms, and an end to insurance, maintenance and commitment. This is where we get super clean and wildly convenient. EV sales broke just about every previous EV record in 2020, even in the middle of a pandemic.

Siemens Energy will build a state-of-the-art combined cycle power plant on a turnkey basis in Ostiglia in Lombardy. The plant will make a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions in Italy, thanks to its high efficiency and low CO2 emissions compared with coal- or older gas-fired power plants.

Most components and products within the photovoltaic supply chain are currently manufactured in China, which has more than 96 % of the worldwide production capacity for silicon wafers, the core component of a solar cell. To reduce the large dependencies in the photovoltaic energy sector, a group of key stakeholders in the PV industry is calling on the political decision-makers to urgently adopt measures for a fair and level playing field in Europe so that they can act competitively in the PV upstream value chain.

Based on signed in 2021 Memorandum of Understanting, Impact Clean Power technology S.A., ITOCHU Plantech Inc. and Toshiba Energy Systems and Solutions Corp. started the development of hydrogen fuel cell system dedicated for heavy duty transportation. The Fuel Cell Stack is designed by Toshiba and the device has double longer lifetime than ever existing.

As OEMs solidify their commitment to reduce their carbon footprint, their focus is on electric cars which reduce carbon emissions, cut oil use, and provide an improved driving experience. Alongside vehicle development is significant advancements in battery R&D, vehicle-to-grid connectivity, and wireless charging.

Nano One Materials Corp., a clean technology innovator in battery materials, and BASF SE, a globally active chemical company with extensive experience in the development and manufacture of battery materials, announced they have signed a joint development agreement (JDA).

Penn State researchers have found a way to improve lithium-ion batteries for faster charging, higher energy density, and longer life cycles with the hope of preparing for next-gen technologies like eVTOL flying cars and robotic assistants.

TDK Corporation has added the B32354S series to its portfolio of metalized EPCOS polypropylene (MKP) capacitors for filter applications. The new devices, which feature a 4-pin design and a pitch of 52.5 mm, are rated for VRMS of 275 V AC or 350 V AC and cover a capacitance range from 10 μF to 40 μF. The maximum operating temperature is 85 °C.

Around the world, manufacturers entering the medical devices field for the first time are racing to produce much-needed ventilators to address a global lack of supply.

COVID-19 has seen many workers in tech-related roles carry out their work at home and the impact on the virus on China’s economy may cause long-term harm to the electronics industry.
