Key Investment Trends Shaping Geothermal Energy in 2025
Today, geothermal energy meets roughly 1% of global electricity demand but it has the potential to meet up to 15% of projected global electricity growth by 2050. The sector represents a significant opportunity with investments estimated to reach $1 trillion by 2035. Prioritizing geothermal on national energy agendas and sustained support for innovation can […]
Pathways to Unlock Geothermal Energy at Scale
At present, geothermal supplies less than 1% of global energy demand, with deployment concentrated in a handful of countries. With sustained technological progress and falling project costs, geothermal could meet up to 15% of projected electricity demand growth by 2050. Breakthrough innovations are now expanding the horizon for geothermal energy making it a more […]
Barriers Holding Back Geothermal Energy Adoption
Global energy demand continues to rise, driven by population growth, rapid urbanization, and expanding industrial activity. Today, energy systems remain heavily dependent on fossil fuels accelerating climate change. Renewables such as solar and wind are scaling rapidly, yet their intermittency highlights the need for alternative sources of clean, reliable, 24/7 power. This is where […]
Five Startups Driving Innovation in Industrial Heating
The industrial sector is among the hardest to decarbonize, largely due to their reliance on high-temperature heat to manufacture goods such as fertilizers, chemicals, cement, and steel to name a few. For the industrial sector to meet decarbonization targets, it needs to address its heating-related fuel consumption and emissions. This means moving away from fossil […]
Industrial Heat Decarbonization: Five Key Commericial Contracts
Industrial heat accounts for two-thirds of industrial energy demand and nearly one-fifth of global energy consumption, with demand expected to rise in the coming years. Reducing heat-related emissions requires either transitioning to cleaner energy sources or improving efficiency to minimize energy use. Today, innovative technologies are emerging to tackle the challenge, but scaling their […]
Innovation Pathways to Decarbonizing Industrial Heat
The vast majority of industrial heat today is generated by burning fossil fuels which are highly efficient at delivering continuous high temperatures required by many industrial processes. Any pathway to decarbonising industrial heating must therefore provide comparable performance and be readily integrated into existing production systems. The opportunity for industrial electrification is substantial. Projections […]
What Makes Industrial Heat Hard to Decarbonize?
Industrial heating is responsible for nearly one-fifth of global energy consumption, with the majority of this demand met through the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. Decarbonising this sector is therefore central to reducing emissions and meeting climate targets. The scale of the challenge becomes clear in industries like steel, […]

Key Technologies Driving Grid Inspection Innovation
The electrical grid has powered cities and industries for over a century. What began as small, localized networks in the early 20th century has evolved into large international, complex systems. Today’s grid supports every facet of modern life, from homes and factories to transport and digital infrastructure. But the grid faces growing strains as […]
The 2025 Grid Inspection Investment Outlook
The recent blackout that plunged parts of Spain and Portugal into darkness is a stark reminder of the fragility of ageing power infrastructure. Incidents like this have reignited conversations across Europe about the urgent need to modernize grid systems to withstand unexpected shocks and maintain a stable power supply in an increasingly volatile climate.
