Clean Energy Technology and US Industrial Policy: Report

September 15, 2022 | ,

Although the United States was an early leader in clean energy R&D and continues to make major technological advances, it has, over time, fallen behind in the commercialization and manufacturing of the technologies developed domestically. This study reviews U.S. industrial policy for clean energy sectors and argues that other economies have more frequently used proactive industrial policies to support the development of domestic clean energy technology industries.

Disruptive clean energy technologies for APAC’s energy security

February 12, 2022 |

Disruptive technologies have emerged in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors which have rapidly changed the global energy landscape. Disruptive technology is defined as a technology, which creates a new business model that could disrupt a traditional business model. These disruptions generate a revolution in technology capability, digital transformation, cost, new business model, and change of policy. A number of energy-related technologies have become the game changers of energy demand and supply in APEC region and the world.

Creating a Domestic U.S. Supply Chain for Clean Energy Technology

Creating a Domestic U.S. Supply Chain for Clean Energy Technology

October 8, 2021 |

While the prospect of rapid growth in renewable energy presents an opportunity for domestic suppliers to meet rising demand, that outcome should not be assumed; the experience of other industries—for example, semiconductors—reflects that a growing domestic market does not translate into more onshore production and jobs. This means that the next decade presents a critical window for American industry to support a massive expansion in U.S. renewable infrastructure—one that will likely never recur.

Tracking the impacts of innovation on offshore wind

Tracking the impacts of innovation on offshore wind

June 16, 2021 | ,

Clean energy technology innovation – particularly research, development and demonstration (RD&D) – plays a critical role in accelerating the global energy transition. As this transition progresses and ambitions grow, the need for strong government support for innovation grows alongside it. Innovation support is a combination of multiple measures, including RD&D funding (from the public and private sectors), market instruments and policy measures. Together, these guide and encourage innovation activities.
