Blue Hydrogen Market to Reach US$52 Billion in 2036

Blue hydrogen plays a critical transitional role in the shift toward a hydrogen-based economy. A new report from IDTechEx, "Blue Hydrogen Production and Markets 2026-2036: Technologies, Forecasts, Players", forecasts that the global blue hydrogen market is projected to reach US$52 billion in 2036

­Low-carbon hydrogen is rapidly emerging as a crucial solution to support a cleaner energy future. Its greatest potential lies in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, including iron and steel production, chemical manufacturing, and long-haul transport. With less than 1% of global hydrogen supply currently low-carbon, bl

Figure 1: Stability versus Current

- Low current condition (Vds=200V)

- High current condition (Vds=200V)

­Engineers working with Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs encounter this firsthand when parallel devices begin exhibiting unexpected oscillations. What starts as a subtle waveform irregularity on an oscilloscope trace can quickly reveal deeper design sensitivities in high-speed switching environments. Parallel-connected SiC MOSFE

Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? No, it's a Wind Turbine

Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

­There are certain things you come across and think, why didn’t anyone think of that before? Wind turbine manufacturers have long had problems finding land suitable to build on and then going through all of the red tape necessary to get the permissions needed to build on that land. Another factor to consider is
