Advanced Energy

High-voltage transmission conductors are critical to the electrical grid, but the aluminum alloys used to manufacture them have remained largely unchanged for decades. While these materials provide good conductivity, they can have limited performance in applications requiring higher strength, lower thermal expansion, or improved conductivity at elevated temperatures. Aluminum-based composite materials offer a potential path...

At EWI, our focus has always been on helping manufacturers solve real problems and move advanced technologies from concept to production. In 2025, that mission translated into meaningful progress across research, technology development, and knowledge sharing to support industries navigating increasingly complex technical and economic challenges. Throughout the year, our teams worked closely with partners...

As the energy industry moves toward more sustainable energy options, the safe transport of hydrogen and carbon dioxide is receiving great attention. Quality research and data must be available to support the integrity of pipeline materials and system infrastructure. EWI is at the forefront of testing materials in H2-rich and CO2 environments. Senior Technology Leader...
