Accelerating Clean Energy Innovation

Paul Hobcraft

In the near term, the report describes a net-zero pathway that requires the immediate and massive deployment of all available clean and efficient energy technologies, combined with a major global push to accelerate innovation. For advanced batteries, this pathway to commercialisation is being funded by capital markets.
