New flagship report examines investment in the energy transition
London
The Institute’s latest flagship report weighs the investment, policy and market conditions shaping the pace of the energy transition across different economies.
The International Research Institute has published “The Energy Transition: Investment, Policy and Climate-Technology Markets”, a flagship report on the conditions that determine how quickly capital moves into low-carbon technologies.
The report examines the interaction between public policy, the cost of capital and market structure across a range of economies, and sets out where investment has accelerated and where it has stalled.
“The pace of the transition is set as much by the cost of capital and the clarity of policy as by the technology itself,” said Director of Research Karolina Nowak-Dubois. “We have tried to make those conditions comparable across very different markets.”
Projections in the report are expressed as scenario ranges with explicit assumptions. As with every Institute publication, the report discloses its data, methods and funding and is openly licensed for reuse with attribution.
The full report is available in the Institute’s publications library.
