Small businesses will come out to be the innovative value creators in the advanced economies in 2024. Recent studies show their importance by clarifying how much innovation is driven, how much such business closure alone can contribute to local development effects, or how such companies can ensure stability.

Globally, small enterprises create about 50% of the economy, with slightly greater values in developed economies than in developing economies in 2024. A recent survey conducted in advanced economies shows the favourable landscape of small businesses. This statistic underscores their capacity to adjust and respond to localization needs through inventions and development. For instance, in the United States of America, Germany, and Japan…

In light of research relating to climate change, more climate finance is needed by the time of the for cop29, which happens to be the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and is to be held in Baku Azerbaijan from November 11-22, 2024.

The COP29 Presidency has outlined a Framework for Action, where COP enhancements are seen in two critical areas. The goal – "enable action," highlights the importance of finance as a more significant enabler in implementing the aspiration of mitigation and deployment measures, as well as loss and damage action and building resilience. Climate change is now regarded as one of humanity's most challenging issues as it incorporates various…

Robots are the new hands in the industrial, technical and production sectors. It is widely used in specific sectors to reduce human involvement. Hence, robots can be a new replacement for humans in the production sector. The strategic usage of robots in harmful industrial works propels lesser human participation. It can be derived otherwise; it saves humans from hazardous industrial phenomena.

Robots will be used extensively in nuclear plants in 2024. The robotic way of work makes nuclear energy safe and efficient, too. The compelling use of robots in nuclear power production is anticipated to grow extensively. Digitalization plays a crucial role in enhancing robotic culture in nuclear power. Further, it is driven by several new…

The recovery of nuclear power plants is being accelerated as multiple projects for restarting them are scheduled for 2024. According to the analysts, the increase in rehabilitation takes place because nuclear power produces electricity without any emission, its cost and availability are stable, and because of an awakening realization of electricity's value among European nations.

In a remarkable and pioneering feat, researchers created a solar apparatus that can harvest and capture lithium from brine, a type of saltwater rich in lithium. This new technology could change how lithium is produced and mined, providing a more dependable, efficient, and cheaper way as the electric car and renewable energy storage markets are increasingly hungry for lithium. Lithium is a critical element in lithium-ion batteries and has proven to be an essential commodity. However, conventional lithium extraction methods often face pollution, cost, or land acquisition challenges. The traditional approach is the evaporation of brine in open ponds, which takes a lot of surface area, water, and chemicals.

This innovative device, developed by…

The clean energy transition will take a new face in the United States in 2024. Cleantech firms are struggling to progress currently. United States cleantech firms suffer from various reasons, such as bankruptcy, lack of funds to support the green energy transition, the rapid growth of cleantech energy, high interest rates, etc. Technological developments and other government support policies drive the cleantech sector in the US. However, the cleantech companies and the renewable energy sector struggle to gain momentum in 2024.

According to the latest surveys of 2024, cleantech startups receive certain climate funds from Amazon, and other investors have reduced. The clean energy sector's growth depends on the rising demand for renewable…

Climate change is a concerning issue that can impact the day-to-day lifestyle globally. Carbon emissions are a significant threat responsible for climate change issues. Carbon footprints drive the emissions rate and lead to adverse climatic conditions, resulting in economic losses. A survey conducted by Nature shows that the top 10 percent of carbon emitters are responsible for half of total global carbon dioxide emissions in 2024. The study reveals carbon emissions from different sectors of the population across nations.

The top cream layer of the population, accounting for 10 percent, emits about 47 percent of carbon footprints globally. It is represented by the study by the reputed 'Nature Sustainability' in 2022. The detailed insights…

The world's population growth will experience a significant increase by the beginning of 2024. The exponential growth of the population demands more resources. A survey in 2024 indicates that increasing demands for resources can severely impact the economic condition of nations. The developed economies are expanding the nation’s energy sector to meet consumer demand globally. The energy sector will experience significant power demands due to increased consumption from data centers in 2024.

Global energy demands are expected to rise 30 percent in the coming years. Earlier, in 2022, the global energy demands were at 9 billion. However, experts claim that the energy demand will reach 12 billion by 2050. Further, the construction segment…

Clean energy sources are focusing on the production of energy sources in 2024. Energy sources with fewer carbon emissions significantly impact the tech and energy sectors. Wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and nuclear energy can become game changers in the future. The tech industry's primary focus is on artificial intelligence operations in 2024.

Data centers are driving more power due to AI-based computing. Hence, there is a massive demand for electricity to power data centers. Electricity from conventional energy sources raises climate change concerns. However, not much electricity can be generated from wind and solar energy. This is due to renewable sources' dependency on the climatic conditions to produce energy. Hence,…

Thailand's auto industry is facing specific issues with unsold electric vehicles. The country suffers from China's dominance in the auto industry. Thailand's domestic automotive industry will suffer significant losses from Chinese electric vehicle subsidies in 2024. Thailand is known for promoting sustainability in the automotive sector. However, this is the main reason behind the chaos in Thailand's domestic automotive industry in 2024.

Earlier, Thailand announced subsidy programs to make electric vehicles at budget-friendly prices. Thus, it cut the taxes on Chinese imports of electric vehicles. This led to electric vehicles being affordable for consumers. Thailand aims to be consumer-friendly and provide a cost-effective way of dealing…

There are numerous ongoing programs targeting to switch over to more environment friendly sources of energy including hydroelectricity and solar and wind power by 2024. It is expected that by the beginning of 2025, over one third of the world’s electricity will be derived from this source. This tendency will continue due to falling pricing and technological advancements. It is projected that solar energy will be at par with fossil fuels by 2024 as indicated by research findings. However, it was not so for solar energy in 2024there are no serious constraints for solar energy in 2024 but wind power had a hard time in 2023.

The efficiency of the wind energy sector has been hindered by factors such as inputs, labor, capital cost pressures,…
