"...We want to modify and drive the entire value chain towards carbon neutrality." — Sergio Mastroianni, Syensco
Accelerate energy R&D decisions with Elsevier data and tools
Gain critical insights and make new connections through AI workspaces, datasets and tools, from white space discovery through commercial scale-up. Energy R&D teams trust Elsevier as a partner to support bringing their innovations from ideation to reality.
The [LeapSpace] response is very, very well structured… the "confidence level" is something novel that I like a lot plus the links to the evidence and then even the ranking of the relevancy. I haven’t seen anything like that before.

Making new products is only possible with full text. Without it, we would be selling a controller that would be on par with competitors — we wouldn't be able to have a competitive edge.

LeapSpace picked out the relevant articles… maybe I would have spent 45-50 minutes in coming up with this list… an hour’s work got reduced to just a few seconds.

LeapSpace for R&D — AI-powered R&D solution for energy and natural resources
Elsevier helps R&D teams in energy and natural resources bring innovations to market faster with end-to-end risk management. Our R&D solutions include research platforms, curated datasets, predictive and analytical tools, and a research-grade AI workspace — LeapSpace.
LeapSpace unifies key research workflows in one secure environment:
Explore complex scientific questions
Compare evidence and perspectives
Upload and analyze your own documents
Identify collaborators and topic experts
Designed to prioritize trust, privacy and security, LeapSpace enables faster discovery with confidence.
Ideation and discovery — Is our idea worth pursuing?
Uncover the insights you need to make crucial R&D decisions, faster. R&D teams partner with Elsevier to map white space, validate assumptions quickly and build citable evidence that their innovation idea is genuinely novel and worth pursuing. This supports moving only the most viable innovations forward with confidence.
Use Scopus to turn global research activity into structured intelligence, assessing R&D opportunities and determining whether an idea is differentiated enough to pursue. Teams can dive deeper into the full-text literature with ScienceDirect, and the AI-powered discovery of LeapSpace supports evidence synthesis at the point of key innovation decisions.
Technical feasibility and decision-making — What innovations can we bring to reality?
With Elsevier’s trusted content and technology, R&D teams in energy and natural resources explore the scientific feasibility of innovation ideas, including new materials, technology and products, to build a go/no-go case before resources are committed.
Use AI-powered tools like LeapSpace to synthesize trusted evidence to support a business case for innovation, not just a literature review. Knovel's database of engineering intelligence enables early validation of how materials and systems will perform under operating conditions. Explore the full-text literature of ScienceDirect to explore underlying mechanisms, compare technical approaches and assess constraints and trade-offs.
Development and scale-up — Can we deliver this reliably, at scale, at the right cost?
Elsevier supports bridging the lab-to-production gap with comprehensive information supporting safe, compliant development and scale-up.
Knovel's engineering intelligence encompasses hundreds of thousands of materials and substances, helping teams validate how materials and systems will perform under operating conditions. Assess performance limits and reduce design risk so concepts can function safely and reliably outside the lab.
LeapSpace supports development and scale-up by connecting teams to critical insights from across the research landscape, including similar innovations in energy and natural resources, while linking insights directly to the source.
Sustainable innovation in energy — How do we drive a competitive edge?
Elsevier connects R&D teams to the information and technology they need to bring sustainable innovations to market, faster. The peer-reviewed full-text scientific literature in in ScienceDirect, trusted chemistry data in Reaxys, engineering intelligence in Knovel and AI-driven discovery of LeapSpace all support sustainable development across the energy landscape to meet ESG commitments.
Identify greener alternatives and sustainable materials, evaluate physicochemical properties, optimize processes for efficiency and safety while bridging the lab-to-production gap. Ensure sustainability is built into the R&D process at the outset, not added later.
