Technology and Innovation
The solutions for many energy and environmental challenges are dependent upon long-term technical progress and innovation in the energy sector. Policies and regulation to support research and development and the commercial deployment of new energy technologies are essential in order to meet these challenges.
In our work, we focus on building a better understanding of the impact of regulation and liberalised energy markets on innovation and technology deployment. We also look at technology policy and technology choice in the UK and internationally.
