Asphalt additives are substances that are added to the asphalt binder in order to alter the characteristics of the final blend of the concrete. Asphalt additives are composite materials that are commonly used in parking lots, airports and road surfaces. Asphalt additive offer a wide range of benefits which help in reducing a variety of construction related issues such as stripping, cracking, pavement thickness, raveling, permanent deformation and life cycle costs. Asphalt concrete which is produced by mixing asphalt additives with concrete is often known for its recyclable nature. Different types of asphalt additives have different performance characteristics such as surface durability, roadway noise, tire wear and braking efficiency. Asphalt additives are mainly classified as hot mix asphalt additives and cold mix additives depending mainly on the applications of the respective additive. Construction industry is the major consumer of asphalt additives. Thus, asphalt additives market is closely associated with the construction industry.

Rapidly growing demand for decentralized renewable energy solutions are likely to boost the demand for rooftop solar PV modules in the future. Densely populated areas with high solar irradiation & flat roof structures are showing promising prospects for implementation of such kinds of generation schemes. This micro scale power station not only saves money but in the long run earns it too, by feeding surplus generation into the utility grid. Such rooftop solar PV power stations typically comprise multiple solar PV panels. Decreasing costs of PV panels have resulted in payback periods as short as five years for rooftop solar PV modules. This has resulted in an increased interest for installing such modules. With rising diesel prices around the world, rooftop solar PV is likely to replace DG Sets as a dominant provider of back-up power globally. Government support mechanisms like feed in tariff schemes and independent solar roof top installation policies are bolstering both investor and end user confidence. Initiatives by power utilities for increasing grid stability are encouraging installations of such stand alone systems.

Automotive telematics is a combination of telecommunication and informatics used in road transportation, vehicular technologies and road and vehicle safety. Automotive telematics uses integrated systems comprising of electronic devices such as sensors, wireless communication technologies such as satellite navigation, mobile data and vehicle tracking and computer science. The sensors such as gyroscope, accelerometer, odometer etc. calculate parameters such as distance, speed, direction and detect surrounding objects. This information collected by sensors is send to the control unit over a wireless communication network such as radio, cellular or satellite. The control unit uses pre-programmed algorithms to process and analyze such information and take decisions pertaining to vehicle motoring. Such integrated systems provide functionalities such as transport feasibility check, automatic vehicle motoring and road safety.

The increasing demand for clean fuel sources in the marine industry has led to the growing demand of LNG for fuelling the shipping industry. The MARPOL convention is the major international body ensuring that the marine vessels do not emit polluting substances causing marine pollution. Conventional marine fuel, also known as bunker fuel is the heavy distillate product obtained after vacuum distillation process in refineries. This fuel oil is thick & heavy and contains sulphur and nitrogen compounds which negatively impact the environment. Several Emission Controlled Areas (ECA’s) have been declared by the MARPOL. Special environmental considerations exist in these areas. The increasing production of natural gas, especially from unconventional sources, provides the ship operators an opportunity to reap benefits of cheap gas prices. However, the concept of LNG as a bunker fuel is still very new, with very few shipping companies actually adopting this marine fuel. The market for LNG as bunker fuel is anticipated to rise at a substantial pace in the future owing to these stringent environmental regulations.

In economic terms, electricity (both power and energy) is a commodity capable of being bought, sold and traded. An electricity market is a system for conducting sales, purchases, and short-term trades. Bids and offers use supply and demand principles to set the price. Short-term trades are contracts similar to power purchase agreements and are generally considered private bi-lateral transactions between counterparties. Retail transactions (bids and offers) in electricity are typically cleared and settled by the market operator or a special-purpose independent entity charged exclusively with that function. Market operators do not clear trades but often require knowledge of the trade in order to maintain generation and load balance. The commodities within an electric market generally consist of two types: power and energy. Power is the metered net electrical transfer rate at any given moment and is measured in megawatts (MW). Energy is electricity that flows through a metered point for a given period and is measured in megawatt hours (MWh).
