Last month, Lux Research presented at the Go Net-Zero Carbon Energy Virtual Summit hosted by Globuc. During the day-long event, multiple topics were discussed, including the outlook for the energy transition post-COVID, how oil and gas companies are preparing for decarbonization, and what opportunities emerging technologies present for the industry.
Check out our thoughts on the top emerging technology and innovation news, including our researchers' coverage of technologies and strategies as they relate to the global pandemic for the final Friday of June in this post.
There are significant obstacles in developing quantum computing that are currently limiting, and these obstacles will continue to challenge developers in the coming years. Over the next 10 years, it is uncertain if quantum computing will consistently outperform today's supercomputers for useful business-related problems, if at all.
Earlier this year, we unveiled four key storylines driving the energy transition – one of them is the decarbonization of industry. Industrial processes remain the most difficult decarbonization challenge due to their high energy use, reliance on heat, and dependence on carbon serving as the primary building block for a variety of downstream chemicals.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted patterns in life and work across the globe; it should come as no surprise that recycling efforts have been suspended in the interest of preventing its spread. Check out what our expert, Charles Willard, has to say about the effects of the global pandemic on recycling.
COVID-19 poses major challenges for players in every industry, and companies are under tremendous pressure to reopen as quickly as possible, while adhering to regulatory guidelines and keeping employees safe. Our new report addresses the key technologies businesses need to adopt to fight against COVID-19 in the workplace.
Our new report outlines use cases already in practice in facets of the chemicals and materials industry and a vision for how digital technologies will reshape the chemicals and materials landscape in the coming decades.
We predict that it will take until between 2035 and 2040 for electric vehicles to make up more than half of all vehicle sales. While adoption was tracking ahead of forecasts pre-COVID-19, we believe that impacts from the pandemic will only cause short-term setbacks.
