The growing demand for energy is expected to exhaust the worlds 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. Global oil shale resources can supply more...more
The increasing cost of power and the rapid depletion of conventional sources of energy have necessitated effective heat management and energy conservation in industrial processes. High temperature insulation (HTI) products provide high compressive strength and low shrinkage at high temperatures; and thus offer a cost-effective energy management solution for industrial processes. This research report provides in-depth market intelligence on the...more
Report DescriptionThe limited availability of petrol and its surging prices have brought about the development of alternative fuels such as biodiesel, bioethanol, and biogas. The major advantages of biodiesel are that it enhances engine life, and unlike petroleum, it does not pollute the environment. The biodiesel market is slated for a huge growth in the next few years not only because of the growing environmental concerns, but also because of the surging prices for non-renewable sources of energy, especially petroleum. Governments across the globe are encouraging the use of biodiesel; and many countries have initiated blending of conventional diesel with a percentage of biodiesel. This report analyzes the markets for the major feedstock currently used for biodiesel production, such as vegetable oils, waste oils, and animal fats; as well as potential feedstock such as algae, jatropha, and sunflower oil. The report includes an in-depth analysis of transesterification, the technology to convert oils to biodiesel, and a comparative analysis between conventional petrol diesel and biodiesel on parameters such as pricing, feedstock availability, and the potential to reduce greenhouse...more

Report Description: The improvements in networking and modern-day communications have brought about the demand for bulk transfer of voice and data from one point separated from another by almost 50-100 miles. While the conventional wire-connected networks had great bandwidth, they involved the complex task of the stretching physical wires over great distances. In wireless data backhaul, data packets can be sent to distances as far as 50 miles at a speed ranging from 1Mbps to 2Gbps. Cellular operators have played an important role in this new emerging market of wireless data backhauling. The emergence of 3G services has provided biggest market boost, as these services provide organizations huge bandwidth for transferring data from one location to another. The growing trend of globalization has been a pivotal factor in the market growth of telecommunications; and thus acts as a market driver for wireless data transfer and the wireless backhaul market as well. The economic growth of developing nations and the spread of internet and mobile communications in these regions have opened up new markets for wireless backhauling. The market is set for a huge growth as wireless backhaul is...more
