Hydrogen is emerging as a promising substitute to fossil fuels as a cleaner and more environmentally friendly form of energy; however, to alleviate the challenges pertaining to technology, supply chain and infrastructure, and economic costs to develop a comprehensive hydrogen economy, the industry needs to hasten the progress to achieve economies of scale. Battery electric trucks will be the preferred solution for short-distance, low-demand and urban application areas, whereas fuel cell trucks will most likely serve long distance traveling needs and segments that demand high uptime and availability. Milestones in terms of technology, infrastructure, strategy, and cost favorability required to enable commercial-scale deployment of fuel cell trucks are yet to be achieved.

Increasing developments, such as advanced SCADA and communication technologies, are driving the substation market. The communication channel is an integral part of the substation automation as all the IEDs and monitoring devices that are located at the substation and on the field generate data that has to be passed on to the utility data center, which is remotely located. However, the lack of interoperability and global standards are restricting industry growth. Manufacturers in the industry are increasingly focusing on building common standards to eliminate the issue.

Industrial battery is used in remote, difficult-to-reach areas where equipment/devices are required to be selfpowered, and recharging & replacement of batteries is difficult or is not possible. The basic components equipped in these batteries majorly include cathode, anode, and electrolyte, out of which the cathode occupies around 30% of the overall battery cost. For the purpose of analysis, the report segments the global industrial batteries market based on type, application, and region. The report provides information about various types of industrial batteries available in the market such as lithium-ion battery nickel-based, and lead-based. The application covered in the study include telecom & data communication, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), energy, equipment, grid storage, and others. Moreover, it analyzes the current market trends of industrial batteries across different regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA and suggests the future growth opportunities.

2021Q4 公用板块基金配置水平趋稳，但仍处于相对较低状态。2021 年第四季度以来，公用事业板块基金配置市值占股票投资市值比基本维持在三季度水平，小幅提升至1.26%，达到近两年来最高，环比上涨0.01pct。2021 年以来，随“双碳”目标正式确立，新能源发展进入高速阶段，公用事业基金配置比例，从2020Q4 历史最低点0.42%，至2021Q3大幅提升，2021Q4 维持在1.26%。目前公用事业的配置水平处于历史中等水平，在基金股票投资仓位中仍被相对低配，相对标准行业配置比例低2.02%，有较大提升空间。

国家电网公司 2022 年规划投资总额 5012 亿，较 2021 年的规划额有所增长。

据财联社报道，1 月24 日下午，中共中央政治局就努力实现“双碳”目标，进行了第三十六次集体学习。
