• STUDY BACKGROUNDNanotechnology is
  increasingly impacting the U.S. and world energy
  balance, both on the supply and demand sides. On
  the supply side, nanotechnology is being used to
  optimize production from existing energy sources
  (e.g., crude petroleum) and to exploit new
  sources such as heavy oil, liquefied coal and
  solar energy (including using solar energy to
  produce hydrogen). Nanotechnology is also
  improving and opening new possibilities for the
  transmission and storage of energy, especially
  electricity and possibly hydrogen in the
  future.On the supply side, nanotechnologies
  have the potential to reduce energy consumption
  by making it possible to manufacture lighter
  and/or more energy-efficient cards and
  appliances. Nanotechnologies can also be used to
  improve energy efficiency in buildings.

• STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVESThis report is
  an updated edition of a BCC report first
  published in 2007, whose goal is to identify and
  quantify the market for nanoscale materials and
  devices that are used to generate or conserve
  energy. Specific objectives include the
  following
• Identifying nanoscale materials and devices that
  currently are or in the future could be used in
  energy production or conservation applications.
• Analyzing and predicting trends in the most
  likely application(s) for each of these materials
  and devices.
• Projecting the resulting market for specific
  nanoscale materials and devices.
• Estimating the potential net impact of nanoscale
  materials and devices on the global energy
  balance.
• Drawing attention to manufacturers of renewable
  energy systems and associated advanced materials
  and devices that are most likely to benefit from
  the trends identified above.

• INTENDED AUDIENCEThis report is a business
  opportunity report intended especially for
  developers and vendors of nanoscale materials and
  devices that target the energy systems market. It
  should also be useful to vendors of energy
  systems interested in understanding where the
  market is headed with respect to nanoscale
  enabling technologies.Other readers who will
  find the reports findings and conclusions
  informative include
• Investors.
• Members of the energy trade, professionals and
  advocacy organizations.
• The general nanotechnology interest community.
• Officials of government agencies and
  multinational organizations concerned with energy
  developments and nanotechnology.
• While the report is oriented to the
  interests and concerns of a non-technical
  audience, it contains a great deal of technical
  information that should also be of interest to
  scientists and engineers working in the
  nanotechnology and energy fields.

• SCOPE AND FORMATThe report focuses on the
  global market for nanoscale materials (e.g.,
  nanopowders, nanocomposites, nanoscale thin films
  and others) and devices (e.g., nanosensors) used
  in the following types of energy applications
• Renewable and non-renewable energy production
  (e.g., petroleum refining, solar energy).
• Energy transmission, conversion and storage
  (e.g., transmission systems, transformers,
  batteries and fuel cells).
• Energy end uses (motor vehicles, building HVAC
  systems, manufacturing).
• The report concentrates on nanotechnology
  applications that are currently in commercial use
  or are likely to be commercialized by 2017. Other
  applications that, while promising, are not
  likely to make it out of the laboratory by 2017,
  are not covered in-depth.

• The report does not cover nanoscale
  materials and devices used to monitor and/or
  control the environmental impacts of energy
  production, or use such as nanomaterials used in
  automotive catalytic converters. These
  technologies are outside the scope of this study
  and are covered in detail in several other BCC
  Research reports such as reports NAN039A
  Nanotechnology in Environmental Applications and
  NAN035A Nanosensors.The report also does not
  cover nanomaterials that may have an indirect
  impact on energy consumption (e.g., by decreasing
  weight or resistance). Readers interested in such
  materials may wish to consult BCC Report EGY051A
  Petroleum Fuel Optimization Technologies.

• INFORMATION SOURCES AND METHODOLOGYThe findings
  and conclusions of this report are based on
  information gathered from developers and
  manufacturers of nanoscale materials and devices
  and the energy systems in which they are used, as
  well as concerned governmental, industry and
  professional organizations. Interview data were
  combined with information gathered through an
  extensive review of secondary sources such as
  trade publications, trade associations, company
  literature and online databases to produce the
  baseline market estimates contained in this
  report.The methodologies and assumptions used
  to develop the market projections in this report
  are discussed at length under the various types
  of nano-energy applications. The report carefully
  documents data sources and assumptions. This way,
  readers can see how the market estimates were
  developed and, if they so desire, test the impact
  on the final numbers of changing assumptions such
  as price.
