4G continues to dominate, 5G IoT growth will be gradual

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to the latest research from Strategy Analytics, 5G comprised less than 1% of IoT connections in 2020 but will rise to 40% of all the overall connections by 2030, as highlighted in its most recent IoT Market Forecast and Analysis report. The majority of 5G connections will not be significant until 2026, with 4G remaining the dominant technology over the forecast period.



2020 witnessed slower than expected growth due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with a slight increase in overall connections. Strategy Analytics expects similar connection growth rates in 2021, with the pandemic highlighting the need for investment in telehealth, especially remote patient monitoring, and diagnostics.

Andrew Brown, Executive Director of Enterprise and IoT Research at Strategy Analytics, said “The adoption of 5G will likely happen in different stages in the largest markets, with eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband) reaching mass adoption first, uRLLC (ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication) gaining traction soon afterward, and mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication) showing the longest tail. Adoption will be determined not only by application needs, but by the availability of 5G chipsets, the speed and coverage of 5G network deployments, as well as the evolution of regulations. Even as 5G develops, 4G will continue to co-exist, provide extensive coverage at lower cost and remain very important in the IoT”

David Kerr, Senior Vice President of the Global Wireless Practice at Strategy Analytics added, “The tipping point for 5G in IoT occurs when support for mMTC, a price decline in hardware and widespread network coverage, sees NB IoT and Cat M folded into 5G standards and devices. For this reason, we think the pivot to 5G in IoT will be a gradual one, rather than a dramatic shift.”

  • The new brand strengthens the identification of the company with its future aims, based on innovation, diversification and sustainability, and with its corporate values
  • Exolum is the single brand name that the group will use for all its business, present and future, both in Spain and internationally

MADRID--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exolum is the new brand name chosen by the CLH Group from now on to face its ambitious objectives for the future, focused on adapting its business to decarbonisation and the energy transition, the digitalisation of its activities and the fight against climate change.


This rebranding is due to the need to adapt to the new environment and to transform the company itself which, in addition to carrying out oil product storage and transport activities in Spain, has embarked on an international growth process and is now present in 7 other countries. The group has expanded its activity to the storage, management and transportation of liquid products, especially chemical products, operating in new sectors, such as eco-fuels, the circular economy and the development of new energy vectors.

The new name, simple but modern, shows a spirit where innovation is the key. The Exolum brand was originally devised as the CLH Group subsidiary dedicated to entrepreneurship and innovation. However, after several studies and proposals, the brand was selected to identify the company as a whole because Exolum represents what we want to be and the way we are evolving: we are a large international company with over 2,000 employees, with a track record of almost 100 years and an extremely high level of excellence in the provision of our services,” emphasises the chairman of Exolum, José Luis López de Silanes.

In recent years, the CLH Group has experienced a series of notable changes, mainly focused on sustainable diversification, both of the geographical areas where it operates and the services offered to customers, over and above hydrocarbon logistics. Therefore, it became necessary to renew the brand and align it with this new era of the company. “We want these initiatives for diversification and adaptation of the company to be aligned with the new challenges of the sector with a change in our corporate identity that reflects our growth and leadership,” explains Jorge Lanza, CEO of Exolum. “This brand reflects the transformation process that we are going through internally, to align with the company’s new business models and transmit our company values. These values are innovation and trust, reflecting the open and flexible way that we face the future, promoting new business opportunities committed to the development and sustainability of the planet.”

In addition, the brand is easily recognised in any language and therefore the company will use this one name for all its business, both in Spain and six other countries where it currently operates (United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Panama and Ecuador. In Oman, it will continue to operate with the joint venture OQ Logistics), thus reinforcing the global identity of the group and creating a great brand that is sound, international and unifying.

This is the company’s third name change, after Campsa and, from the early nineties, CLH. These brands were closely linked to the hydrocarbon sector and benefited from considerable prestige among customers and professionals, with values such as quality and guaranteed supply, following the excellent work performed by the company throughout its history. “This new brand is another milestone on our journey and renews our commitment to our customers and to society as a whole,” affirms Jorge Lanza. “We understood that this was the natural step we had to take in the setting of our commitment to the international expansion and diversification of the business.”

With Exolum, the company sets itself a challenge to maintain the same level of recognition, extending it to the public at large, adapted to meet the aim of the company: “We create innovative solutions to improve our world”.

Today, Exolum employs more than 2,300 professionals and operates in 8 countries managing a pipeline network of more than 6,000 kilometres, 68 storage terminals and 45 airport facilities, all with a total capacity of more than 11 million cubic metres.

Developing new breakthrough HT-PEM technology will bring low-cost fuel cell technology to the automotive, aviation, and marine markets

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADN) (“Advent”), an innovation-driven company in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology space, today announced that it has signed a joint development agreement (the “CRADA”) with the US Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Under this CRADA, along with support from the DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO), Advent’s team of scientists will work closely with its LANL, BNL, and NREL counterparts over the coming years in order to develop breakthrough materials that will help strengthen US manufacturing in the fuel cells sector and bring high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells to the market. This project will also contribute to the acceleration of energy and transportation technologies that will enable a clean, zero-emissions energy future.


The aim of HT-PEM fuel cells is to fulfill the promise of “Any Fuel. Anywhere.” They can allow ships to run on renewable methanol or ammonia, airplanes to run on dimethyl ether (DME) or hydrogen, and off-grid power generators to work with any green fuel that is easily transportable to remote locations. The ability to use any hydrogen-carrying fuel, in addition to pure hydrogen, is a major breakthrough in reducing the required infrastructure investments.

Dr. Emory De Castro, Advent’s Chief Technology Officer, commented: “The developing world is where the battle of climate change will be won or lost, and a low-cost infrastructure is a must. Synthetic eFuels will be produced by green hydrogen in the near future and thus be sustainable in such applications. HT-PEM technology allows for hydrogen fuel flexibility, while the competition is currently limited to very pure hydrogen that is compressed at 700bar. By forging this partnership, we are taking yet another step closer to realizing our clean energy future.”

The signed CRADA formalizes Advent’s role in this program, structures the joint development, and defines milestones and investment required to accelerate the technology scale-up. It also leverages state-of-the-art research facilities and talent at the DOE’s LANL, BNL, and NREL sites, as well as Advent’s expertise in fabricating polymers, membranes, catalysts, and electrodes. The effort encompasses scaling up the critical components of this next-generation membrane assembly: BNL catalysts, LANL membrane, electrode binder, and membrane electrode assembly (MEA) architecture. Advent’s scientists and engineers will work side by side with the primary inventors to facilitate rapid process development.

We are honored and excited to work with the best electrochemists in the world from the LANL, BNL, and NREL in developing the next standard of fuel cell technology,” said Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent’s Chief Executive Officer and Founder. “The mandate from the aerospace, marine, and heavy-duty automotive industry is clear: they want to move to high-temperature fuel cell technology, and we believe that we will be able to provide the best product at the best price. Our recent NASDAQ listing and round of fundraising will allow us to make this agreement the top priority of our product development effort. We expect to commercialize the technology in 2021, bring products to the market in early 2022, and scale it up at mass production in 2023.”

HT-PEM fuel cell technology will allow heavy-duty and other hard-to-decarbonize applications to operate with high efficiency while using hydrogen and mitigating water management problems. The LANL MEA that Advent will commercialize is based on a novel chemistry. It does not rely on water as the conducting medium but instead on an engineering plastic, thus allowing for a wider range and high-temperatures for reliable operation (80oC to 240oC). The technology developers expect that overall fuel cell system design will be simplified drastically, resulting in reduced system costs. Early results indicate a longer lifetime even compared to Advent’s current commercial products. In addition, the agreement with BNL will focus on commercializing ultra-low platinum electrode technology that can bring the platinum/kilowatts (kW) required number down 90% (a 10x improvement). Platinum is an essential precious metal that is used in mobility fuel cells, and the BNL technology has the potential to reduce costs along with supply chain and environmental problems. NREL will aid in developing manufacturing processes for these advanced materials.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exelon Corp. (Nasdaq: EXC) today announced that William (Bill) Von Hoene Jr., senior executive vice president and chief strategy officer, is leaving Exelon on March 31, bringing an accomplished 19-year career at the company to a close.


“Bill’s unparalleled legal mind, outstanding strategic capabilities and keen emotional intelligence have been integral to the success of Exelon, and the impact of his work cannot be overstated,” said Chris Crane, president and CEO of Exelon. “He expertly guided us through two successful mergers, led efforts to support the passage of policy decisions that preserved thousands of jobs and protected the environment, and dramatically advanced diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the company through his leadership and innovation. Bill led some of the most important and challenging work for Exelon during his tenure, while at the same time developing future leaders, both of which have enabled us to better serve our customers, communities and employees. With warmth, humor and empathy, Bill made every person he talked to feel important, supported and part of the team and he will be sorely missed.”

“On behalf of the board, I thank Bill for his invaluable contributions to Exelon over the past nearly two decades, which have shaped Exelon’s business, its strategy and its culture,” said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman of Exelon’s board of directors. “Bill has been a transformational leader in the company, in the energy industry and in the community. He leaves behind a lasting legacy, and we are grateful for his leadership.”

Prior to joining Exelon, Von Hoene was a renowned litigator for more than 20 years, specializing in complex civil and white-collar criminal investigations. Since joining Exelon’s legal team in 2002, two years after Exelon was formed, Von Hoene has held numerous leadership positions of increasing responsibility, including general counsel and executive vice president of Finance and Legal, before assuming his current role leading key Exelon strategic functions, including Legal, Corporate Strategy, Corporate Development, Investments, Government Affairs and Corporate Affairs, in February 2012. Following his departure, these departments will report directly to Crane.

Among his many accomplishments, Von Hoene guided Exelon through two successful mergers with Constellation in 2012 and Pepco Holdings in 2016, advanced policies in New York, Illinois and New Jersey that preserved the emissions-free power from the company’s nuclear fleet and saved thousands of jobs, and strengthened Exelon’s commitment to the communities it serves.

Von Hoene’s priorities shaped Exelon’s culture but also had a positive impact well beyond the company’s walls. He has been a steadfast champion for diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. Von Hoene created Exelon’s D&I honor roll, which recognizes the company’s professional services partners, including banking, insurance, IT, investments and law firms, for their work to include women, minorities and other underrepresented groups in key roles on Exelon’s account teams. The program, now in place for over 10 years, complements Exelon’s diverse supplier program, which in 2020 resulted in more than $2.7 billion in spending with women and minority owned businesses across the enterprise.

During his tenure, Von Hoene strengthened the company’s community ties with organizations focused on civic engagement and community development. In Illinois, he currently serves on the boards of directors for: Northwestern Memorial Hospital; the Civic Consulting Alliance; and the Diversity Scholarship Foundation. Von Hoene is also a Washington, D.C., Federal City Council trustee, and serves on the boards of directors of Building Bridges Across the River, the parent organization of the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC); and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Corporate Fund. Since 2016, Von Hoene has served as co-chair of the Obama Foundation Inclusion Council, which assists the Foundation in establishing a framework for diversity and inclusion in all aspects of its operations, including the development of the Obama Presidential Library.

During his time at Exelon, Von Hoene also has received many honors and awards for his contributions to the legal profession and his commitment to community service, social justice, equity and diversity, including:

  • Chicago Legal Clinic’s Joseph Cardinal Bernadin Humanitarian Award, 2017
  • Just the Beginning Foundation’s Legal Diversity Leader Award, 2017
  • Chicago Bar Foundation’s Justice John Paul Stevens Award, 2015
  • Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund’s Corporate Social Responsibility Award, 2013
  • Chicago Inn of Court’s Donald Hubert Public Service Award, 2011
  • Chicago Appleseed Corporate Leader Award, 2010
  • Jewish Council on Urban Affairs’ Arthur Goldberg Social Justice Award, 2010
  • American Bar Association Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession’s Spirit of Excellence Award, 2009
  • National Law Journal’s top 10 most influential general counsel in the country, 2009
  • Advocate for Diversity Award, 2009

In 2020, we launched an initiative to evaluate opportunities to expand solar power purchasing and/or installations across our system. We are proud to say this purchase agreement is a result of those efforts. We estimate that by 2025, approximately 25 percent of our power will be from renewable resources.”
