[May 25, 2007] Research and Markets: Current Applications of Nanotechnologies will Result in a Global Annual Saving of 8 Thousand Tons of Carbon Dioxide in 2007 Tweet (M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) RDATE:25052007 Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c58019) has announced the addition of "Nanotechnologies for Sustainable Energy: Reducing Carbon Emissions through Clean Technologies and Renewable Energy Sources (Portable Electronics Sector)" to their offering "Nanotechnologies for Sustainable Energy: Reducing Carbon Emissions through Clean Technologies and Renewable Energy Sources" examines the impact of nanotechnology on the quest for sustainable energy. Through a detailed analysis of technologies both currently available and under development the report concludes that: - The major near-term benefit of nanotechnologies will be in reducing weight in the transportation sector with nanocomposite materials quickly diffusing across the automotive and aerospace industries - Over the next seven years, highest growth opportunities will come from the application of nanomaterials to making better use of existing resources rather than generating new forms of renewable energy - Highest growth rates will be in the development of renewable energy sources while the materials sector is already crowded - Current applications of nanotechnologies will result in a global annual saving of 8 thousand tons of carbon dioxide in 2007, rising to over a million tons by 2014 Please note: This description is for the complete report. Areas covered: - Market forecast for nanotechnology applications in sustainable energy - Nanotechnology applications for sustainable energy - Reducing co2 emissions in the portable electronics sector For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c58019 CONTACT: Laura Wood, Senior Manager, Research and Markets Fax: +353 1 4100 980 e-mail: [email protected] ((M2 Communications Ltd disclaims all liability for information provided within M2 PressWIRE.
