The Semiconductor Manufacturing Monitor (SMM) report for Q2 2024 highlighted the global semiconductor industry's positive growth trends, with significant increases in IC sales and installed wafer fab capacity driven by demand for AI chips and high bandwidth memory. While there was a slight decline in electronics sales in the first half of 2024, a rebound is expected in Q3 2024. Semiconductor capital expenditures are forecasted to rise in response to the growing demand for AI chips and high bandwidth memory. In a separate announcement, Sirius Aviation AG and Marathon Group Australia have formed a groundbreaking partnership to revolutionize the aviation industry in Australia. The alliance aims to develop zero-emission airports and integrate cutting-edge hydrogen technologies to propel sustainable aviation practices. This initiative aligns with Australia's clean energy goals and involves enhancing hydrogen storage, establishing sustainable infrastructure, and integrating renewable energy initiatives. The partnership between Sirius Aviation AG and Marathon Group Australia also involves the development of the Sirius Jet, a hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft. This innovative technology, created in collaboration with Designworks, a BMW subsidiary, represents a significant step towards achieving sustainable aviation practices in Australia. The partnership aims to position Australia at the forefront of sustainable aviation through the integration of hydrogen-powered solutions and zero-emission airport development.
