Infrastructure constructed in colder climates is destined to experience stresses consistent with freezing or below freezing temperatures. These conditions impose higher maintenance costs, limited lifetimes and in the case of production facilities (e.g. oil and gas rigs, pipelines or wind turbines) revenue loss is essentially assured. Continued ice build up exacerbates infrastructure downtime, worker health and safety and ultimately economic loss and this problem is, not surprisingly, ubiquitous to colder climates. The only effective methods currently employed for removing/preventing ice build up are active technologies such as resistive heating or vibration of the infrastructure. These are not sustainable deicing methods because of the energy required to implement them. There are no apparent new or emerging passive technologies on or coming to the market.

在寒冷气候中建造的基础设施注定要经历与冻结或低于冻结温度一致的应力。这些条件造成更高的维护成本、有限的使用寿命，在生产设施（例如石油和天然气钻井平台、管道或风力涡轮机）的情况下，基本上肯定会造成收入损失。持续的积冰加剧了基础设施的停机时间，工人的健康和安全，最终导致经济损失，毫不奇怪，这个问题在寒冷的气候中无处不在。目前用于去除/防止结冰的唯一有效方法是主动技术，例如基础设施的电阻加热或振动。这些都不是可持续的除冰方法，因为实施它们需要能源。市场上没有明显的新的或新兴的无源技术。
