Leap-frog technology

The hybrid solar concentrator is a potential leap frog technology that may rapidly lower the cost of clean hydrogen in light of the following the imminent market entry of CPV systems for electricity production solar cell efficiencies above 40%, with clearer ideas for 50%-efficient solar cells and the opportunity to use wasted solar heat for augmenting solar electrolysis. 

Leap-frogging technologies as opportunities for local API manufacture... 

Leap-frogging technologies are advances in manufacturing technology that provide large improvements over current techniques and avoid... 

Taking advantage of these leap-frogging technology opportunities implies adoption of machinery, equipment and processes with higher efficiencies and lower environmental impact. This opportunity exists for African manufacturing of APIs. However, there is need for integration of API and FPP production to accommodate the scale needed for... 

Leap-frogging technologies and training in new technologies for competitive advantage... 

This innovative renewable energy technology could leap frog other renewable energy technologies for electrolytic production of hydrogen—a potentially important transportation fuel for our future. 

Since 2001, the zeolite catalysis made a leap-frog jump after the introduction of mesoporous materials, metal-organic frameworks, and hierarchical systems, as well as after the turnaround in the paradigm in technologies and feedstock availability and future trends.
