Apart from the aforementioned factors, the reducing prices of the charcoal briquettes are also positively impacting the growth of the South African charcoal briquettes market. People living and working there prefer these materials for cooking over other cooking fuels such as kerosene and liquified petroleum gas (LPG), because of their lower prices. As charcoal briquettes are made using various leftover materials (leftover powder after charcoal production), they cost lesser and are more affordable than the traditionally used cooking fuels.

Out of these, the barbecue category recorded the highest growth in the South African charcoal briquettes market in the past and this trend is likely to continue in the forthcoming years as well, primarily because of the surging tourism activities and the increasing number of international travelers in the country. Tourists come here for experiencing the country’s rich culture, soul-satisfying cuisines, and scenic landscapes. According to South African Tourism, 29.0 million overnight trips were recorded in the country in 2019.

Hence, it can be safely concluded that the demand for charcoal briquettes would surge in South Africa in the upcoming years, mainly because of the ballooning popularity of barbecued food items in the country.

What Are Investment Opportunities in Wind Tower Market?

The strongest factors leading to the growth of the wind tower market are the increasing government support for wind farms, rising capacity of such installations, and surging need for geopolitical energy security and energy independence. As a result, the industry revenue, which stood at $26,140.5 million in 2015, is projected to increase at a 7.4% CAGR during 2016–2022 (forecast period). A wind tower is the main support system for the wind turbine and other components of a windmill, including the generator.

To learn more about this report: https://bit.ly/3aeYggF

The tower type segment of the wind tower market is categorized into concrete towers, tubular steel towers, lattice towers, hybrid towers, and guyed pole towers. Among these, the industry was dominated in 2015 by the tubular steel towers category, which will keep holding the largest share till 2022. This is attributed to the cost-effectiveness and strength of these variants. As the tower costs make up for around 30% of the windmills’, having a cost-effective tower is essential to produce electricity cheaply and sell it at reasonable per-unit prices.

A prominent trend in the wind tower market is the opportunities being created for skilled laborers. As the renewable energy sector is growing, an increasing number of people with expertise in civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering are finding employment. Governments and private companies around the world are investing heavy sums in the wind power sector to reduce the rate of environmental degradation and dependence on oil, natural gas, and coal to produce electricity.

In 2015, Asia-Pacific (APAC) was the largest wind tower market as a result of the increasing capacity of wind power plants to cater to the rising demand for electric power. China and India are among the largest wind energy producers on earth, and many more wind power plants are under various stages of commissioning in these countries. The Middle East and Africa (MEA) would grow the fastest during the forecast period due to the lower penetration of wind power here, which will offer market players immense opportunities for expansion.

Hence, the installations of wind towers are set to keep rising, as the focus on renewable energy becomes stronger.

How Is Recycling of Solar Panels Impacting Environment?

Solar panels are made up of aluminum, silicon, glass, and synthetic materials, which can be separated through the recycling process, after the completion of the lifecycle of the panels. These panels are installed in several residential and commercial facilities, to offer electricity by using solar power. Their installation has escalated in recent years due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, a surge in the consciousness regarding environment preservation, and escalation in the power demand. Moreover, favorable government regulations regarding sustainable development have led to the widespread adoption and recycling of these panels.

To learn more about this report: https://bit.ly/2NGRj0b

Currently, most of these solar panel recycling plants are adopting the mechanical process for recycling polycrystalline, monocrystalline, and thin-film panels. This is because the mechanical process is more efficient and environmentally safer than the thermal and laser techniques. These plants are recycling more thin-film solar panels every year, due to the rapidly rising installation of these panels on account of their low weight, flexibility, and temperature resistance, though monocrystalline panels still account for the highest overall recycling rate.

The shelf life segment of the solar panel recycling market is categorized into normal loss and early loss. The average age of solar panels is 30 years; however, some may suffer an early loss, which results in the generation of a large quantity of e-waste containing harmful substances. During the historical period (2013–2017), the early loss category held the larger market share due to the early degradation of solar panels on account of unfavorable weather conditions, maintenance issues, and lack of product standardization.

Thus, the surging adoption of solar power systems, escalating concerns regarding e-waste management, and growing consciousness about sustainable development are increasing the solar panel recycling rate.

How Does Hydrogen Enhance Oil Processing?

The fertilizer industry uses high-volume of hydrogen to manufacture fertilizers, especially ammonia that is used to create nitrogen-based fertilizers. Ammonia is widely used in agricultural activities to maintain crop nutrition and increase productivity. Due to the declining area of arable land, the requirement for ammonia has grown significantly. Owing to this demand, the hydrogen market is expected to increase its size from $136,185.0 million in 2019 to $196,934.5 million by 2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market will accelerate at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period (2020–2030).

To learn more about this report: https://bit.ly/2Ym3ql7

Apart from this, hydrogen is used to separate sulfur compounds from crude oil and break long-chain hydrocarbons into short chains during the production of gasoline. Moreover, the surging demand for sour crude oil is fueling the need for hydrogen, as it requires extensive processing. Besides, stringent environmental regulations to decrease sulfur in oil are escalating the consumption of hydrogen at oil refineries. For example, in January 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) enforced an additional 0.5% global cap on the sulfur content in fuel. This limit is in addition to the earlier limit of 3.5%.

Geographically, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) hydrogen market is expected to consume hydrogen at a fast pace in coming years. This can be ascribed to the high economic growth and rapid establishment of production units of several end-use industries, such as chemical, electronics, and petrochemical, in the region. Moreover, the expansion of refinery and metal processing sectors in emerging economies of the region, such as India and China, on account of support from government and non-government organizations, will fuel the demand for hydrogen.

Thus, the expansion of oil refineries and fertilizer industry will fuel the consumption of hydrogen in coming years.
