Rising global energy demand, highly volatile oil & gas prices, increasing complicated regulatory and environmental pressure have put great "deal" to other alternative energy sources in this decade. There is increased awareness and commitments across ....see more
Artificial lift is used to provide adequate pressure in low reservoir pressure well to thrust the crude to the surface. This process of increasing recovery in low margin production wells are supported by different types of artificial lifts such as Electric submersible pump system (ESPs), Progressive cavity pump system (PCPs), Rod Lift, Gas Lift, and Others. Artificial lift component market is the sub market of artificial lift market. ESP pump market is the largest revenue producer within component market. Apart from ESP pump, Rod lift pump and ESP motor is the next biggest revenue maker.
The European fuel cell market revenue is estimated to reach $613.7 Million by 2018. The unit shipments of fuel cells are expected to increase from 3,776 units in 2012 to 338,727 units by 2018. Key players in the industry such as AFC Energy (U.K.), Heliocentris (Germany), Topsoe (Denmark), Genport SRL (Italy), SFC Energy (Germany), and Ceres Power (U.K.) are profiled in detail.
Fuel cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy through electromechanical reaction, like a battery; the only difference is that the fuel is supplied from outside; thereby making the fuel cell feel like an engine converting fuel into electricity without burning it. Fuel cells are of different types such as proton exchange membrane (PEM), solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and many more differentiated ones based on the components used and type of reaction taking place within the cell. They can use variety of fuels such as hydrogen, methanol, biogas, natural gas, and hydrocarbons. When working with hydrogen, fuel cell generates water as outcome and gives electricity with zero emission. The fuel cells are gaining importance as the demand for clean energy is increasing and due to continuous depletion of oil and gas reserves. Furthermore, the focus is shifting towards renewable energy generation which is backed by governments and companies in North America.
The direct drive (gearless) wind turbine is the low-speed generator that eliminates the need for a gearbox from the turbine’s drive train. These turbines have advantages such as - these are lighter as compared to conventional turbine, these have significantly lower maintenance costs, and it is not needed to replace gearbox as these are gearless turbines. The most preferred direct drive wind turbine generator is the permanent magnet type generator, as it is lighter in weight and possesses high reliability for offshore applications.

Shale gas is natural gas produced from shale. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade, and interest has spread to potential gas shale in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Waste-to-energy (WtE) is the process wherein waste is treated to generate energy. This report looks at the WtE current and emerging technologies, key players in the market and the commercialization of such technologies.
The growing demand for energy is expected to exhaust the world’s crude oil reserves in another 40 years. The market price of crude oil reached $145 per barrel in the third quarter of 2008. Though the cost per barrel was around $60 in 2009, it is expected to rise in the next few years. These factors and fluctuating costs have created the need for other resources to meet the growing demand for fuel oil.
