Global Clean Energy Technology

Comprehensive market intelligence providing critical insight and global data for decision-makers and business developers in the clean energy technology sector.

New opportunities for energy businesses are opening up in response to the challenges of deep decarbonization in the global economy. Traditional energy companies and newcomers to the energy world are seeking competitive advantage in areas that are either still uncharted or untested at the scale that the energy world demands.

IHS Markit’s Global Clean Energy Technology service provides data, insight and analytics tools that are critical for decision makers and business developers as they define their future activities with the energy technologies that are emerging at the leading edge of the energy transition.

Our insights and analysis across the new energy/technology space – solar and wind energy, batteries and other storage media, hydrogen technology and renewable gas – helps inform managerial and shareholder choice for a low carbon future. Investors, as well as inventors, are increasingly keen to take up the challenges of the energy transition, and the service provides valuable contextual framing for energy companies presenting their clean tech business strategies to investor communities.

Why Clean Energy Technology?

As the energy system decarbonizes, it is becoming more complex and more interconnected. In the traditional energy system, gas, power and heat grids operated in a one-way fashion providing energy to the consumer; the links between different source of energy were limited to the power generation sector. The energy system that is emerging today is fundamentally different:

 

Many uncertainties underlie the future path of the energy system, but electrification will continue and energy storage systems, low-carbon gas (hydrogen technology and renewable gas), solar and wind energy will grow. The growth of these four technologies will be driven by the following:
Continued electrification

In 2020, global electricity demand was nearly 27,000 TWh and electricity accounted for over 20% of final energy consumption. This was more than double the consumption in 1990 (12,000 TWh and 14% of final energy consumption). Rapid growth will continue and moves to deep decarbonization will hugely increase global electricity demand. In a net zero carbon world as much as 60% of final energy consumption could come from electricity.

Solar and wind energy will dominate global power generation capacity additions

Since 2015 renewable capacity additions have exceeded conventional additions globally. Through 2030, IHS Markit anticipate annual additions of nearly 80GW of wind and 150GW for solar. This growth will drive technological advances and significant investment in the manufacturing supply chain.

Electricity storage will enable high penetration of renewable energy and system resilience

Pumped hydro has traditionally dominated electricity storage. As costs have fallen, and large amounts of wind and solar have been deployed, lithium-ion batteries have become a major provider of flexibility to the power system. Nearly 620 GW of grid-batteries will be connected to the grid in the coming decade. The build-out will be dominated by Li-ion batteries. However, other battery chemistries and alternative non-battery technologies will also play specific roles and offer opportunities for investment.

Gas will remain an essential component of the energy mix, but it will decarbonize

Hydrogen can be used as fuel in the transport sector, or heat generation in industrial, residential, and commercial sectors, as well as power generation. If produced from hydrocarbons, with carbon capture and storage, or water electrolysis with renewables it can decarbonize end-use sectors. We anticipate annual global investment in electrolysis to increase 20-fold by 2023 and work is underway to use low-carbon gas to decarbonize the first industrial clusters by the mid-2020s.
