Our Work
Technologies of a low carbon economy
Over 70% of the clean technologies we need to cut emissions as needed by 2020 already exists today. The challenge is to make these marketable.
We're focusing on those technologies for renewable energy that can be scaled-up quickly and effectively. Our projects will show that these technologies are both practical and affordable. Along the way, we'll spot barriers that might stop them from being used widely, and find ways to overcome those.
We're helping show how creative public-private partnerships can speed up putting those technologies into practice.
Watch this space, as we further develop our work on these areas, and launch others.
Technologies
- Program:
- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology which can allow fossil fuels to be used in a more sustainable way as part of a low carbon future, helping drive the Clean Revolution.
Technologies
- Program:
- LED
LED lighting can cut 50-70%* more C02 emissions than conventional lighting, increasing efficiency, saving money and making our cities brighter, safer and friendlier at night.
Technologies
- Program:
- SMART 2020
Our SMART2020 report says ICT could cut global emissions 15% by 2020, showing the role smart meters, smart grids, buildings and cities have to play in the Clean Revolution.
Technologies
- Program:
- EV
Electric vehicles are a ready, viable and clear way to reduce emissions. For a start, they offer 70% energy-efficiency. The technology is ready. Now we must make the rapid transition to EVs.
