State clean energy funds have emerged as effective tools that states can use to accelerate the development of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
This document provides the context and describes some of the challenges that currently face the financing of large‐scale renewable energy deployments.
Based on lessons learned from nine case studies of existing international public- and private-sector technology and market development collaborations, the paper presents core principles and three options for a climate innovation initiative.
This report recommends several novel energy strategies to advance emerging clean energy technologies that do not require major new federal legislation or more federal funding.
This report shows that successful climate technology innovation may come from where we least expect it – not from the private sector alone or from developed countries – but from emerging markets in developing economies.
In this new report, Clean Energy Group recommends that Congress establish a new “Clean Energy Federalism” to expand the historic role of states to fund and deploy clean energy projects, create jobs, and grow the clean energy sector.
This brief 8-page document addresses the “why” of international technology collaboration — the basic reasons why global technology policies – for product development — beyond cap and trade are needed for stabilization.
This report makes recommendations for how an international technology collaboration could be structured.
This paper sets out some countervailing arguments that governments and other donors should not be in the business of picking winners. The authors argue that technology-based policy and incentives are needed to address long term climate stabilization.
This report outlines a new approach to the climate innovation process.
