Climate technology is broad. It encompasses areas like renewable energy production (wind, solar, biomass), energy efficiency, energy infrastructure to create demand-side flexibility, energy storage, transport, waste, carbon capture, green infrastructure, appliances and more. Innovation in climate technology is all about finding new solutions or business models and accelerating their development to make climate technology more efficient, more cost-effective, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Whether it is a product or a service, climate technology innovation focuses on developing ideas. It is about bringing solutions from the lab straight to market to tackle climate change.
Opportunities within it are vast.
