Strategy, Planning and Financing Li-ion batteries Li-polymer carbon anode
Lithium-ion Battery • New Li-fiber Battery Launch  Li-ion battery  
TRU prepared strategies and business plan for a company developing lithium-ion batteries made with a new Li-fiber [carbon-carbon] anode. The new carbon-carbon fiber technology is significantly superior to existing Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries especially for higher energy applications (for example, in particular for the plug-in electric vehicle). Refer: :Li-fiber Battery OR :TRU electric vehicles forecast 2020 OR more on  : TRU Lithium Team Capability Also see :REE rare earth elements.


Product Substitution & Demand Estimation
Renewable Energy for Remote Locations & Communities
TRU conducted an in depth assessment of energy use in remote villages/ camps and other non-grid-connected location. Estimated energy consumption by end use and type. Reviewed technology for displacement by renewable energy such as small-scale hydropower, photovoltaic & thermal solar, wind & tidal power, geothermal, peat and conservation.


Detailed Feasibility of Clean Coal Technology Energy Complex
Coal Coking Plant and Coal Gasification Feasibility

TRU undertook a detailed feasibility study of a coal based energy complex comprising a coal coking plant, coke-oven-gas, coal gasification, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles IGCC, power plant, coal handling and coal mining. Studied options and determined best technical, environmental and economic conclusions.  Obtained quotations from suppliers in the west and China. Also assessed local coal resource, coal mining issues and mining costs. Detailed operational and financial plan compiled.


Technology Forecasting & Econometric Modeling

Green versus Conventional Energy

TRU evaluated the integrity and usefulness of  comprehensive MITRE technology foresight model. The model is multivariate containing technology, manufacturing, and use factors for both conventional and renewable energy. Other econometric models used in analyzing aspects of renewable energy production and use were compared.


New Product Launch in the United States
Retrofit Insulation Product

TRU conducted a market study in a United States regional market to assess the acceptability of a new insulation product to be sold to contractors and homeowners. Surveyed contractors and retailers. Made solid conclusions and provided client with product launch strategy.


Market and Competition Analysis
Thermal Solar Panel Market
TRU
undertook an in-depth assessment of thermal solar energy including compiling a comprehensive inventory of installations. Examined the techno-economics of thermal solar for various applications, including commercial buildings, homes, process water heating, and pools. Prepared historical segmented data on usage and forecast of demand.


Electric Vehicles & EV Batteries 2020 for Mitsubishi Corporation
Technology Forecasting - Market Outlook Assessment
 
TRU
examined issues at play in the development of the electric vehicle EV  TRU Electric Vehicle Forecast 2020 PEV HEV EV Outlookmarket including its segment hybrid HEV, plug-in PHEV and full electric vehicles PEV. Forecast global EV demand through 2020. Much of the evaluation concerned the readiness of battery technology especially lithium li-ion and disruptive cell technology, to meet the special performance demands for the electric vehicle. Battery innovation was a strong determinant of EV market potential. If you would like a free summary of this report please see -

 NRC R&D Plan for Energy Building Research
Energy Conservation in Buildings

TRU worked with the National Research Council to develop research and development priorities for energy conservation in buildings. TRU advised and facilitated a Task Force to examine technological issues that affected energy use in buildings and ways in which R&D could address those issues. Set objectives and scoped out the R&D plan.


Data Gathering and Survey
Energy Use in School Buildings
TRU surveyed the use of various forms of conventional energy in school buildings as part of a program for finding an approach to energy savings. This was a first phase data gathering census of educational institutions in specified regions to be used by the government to institute energy saving measures in buildings that they own.


Survey of Potential
Manufacturing Sector Energy Conservation
TRU undertook a surveys of manufacturing companies to obtain data on their use and attitude towards energy conservation. This was for a major electric utility that was interested in encouraging energy conservation and looking for ways to manage peak power loads on their network.


Market, Techno-economic and Industry Assessment
Photovoltaic Solar Cells
TRU assessed the state of technology and industry development of the solar cell and solar panel market. In depth survey of application and consumption of solar cells.  Examined methods and techno-economics of manufacturing cells. Compared products on the market and in the pipeline. Technology foresight modeled and demand forecasts made.


Marketing Study for Start-up Company
Passive Solar Windows
TRU assisted a start-up company to establish information on markets for their passive solar window designs. Regional market size was calculated, customers identified and product designs assessed. TRU client was advised on methods it should use to penetrate the American market.


Consumption, Application and Industry Assessments
Insulation Products  & Industry Competition

TRU conducted an in depth survey of insulation markets and competition with the objective of measuring the impact of the Government's "Home Insulation Program". Effectiveness of insulation products were evaluated.  TRU Interviewed contractors and insulation manufacturers, and used concurrent homeowner surveys to assess market demand.


Investor Due Diligence
Novel Gasifier Design
TRU assesses the technology and techno-economics of a new design for a biomass gasifier. The market potential for the design was assessed as well as competitive technologies. TRU advised our client on the viability of the business and the risks associated with the proposed investment.


Diesel Power Generation Plant Design
Grid Connected Diesel Generation Plant

TRU assessed energy requirements and designed the diesel generation plant for a major smelter to be located in a remote location but with possibilities for connection to a low tension power grid. Specified the basic design for the diesel gas-turbine-generators and related switchgear and controls. Obtained supplier quotations for the plant.
