With the UN's climate conference ahead next week in Copenhagen, here is a good reading recommendation: A well written, thoughtful
report just out by the Clean Energy Group and Meridan Institute that looks at how new collaborative models are driving innovation in the Clean Energy economy. Funded by the National Commission on Energy Policy, it outlines a roadmap for a fundamental transformation of the world's energy technology base. According to the report, the challenge is to create a carbon free infrastructure in 50 years that is twice as large as our current energy infrastructure. Daunting, but not impossible, if policy, funding, regulatory efforts and investment flow through a new collaborative model suggested by the report.
The report is the result of extensive consultations with companies, governments, NGOs, academics and other individuals in Berlin, London, Paris and Washington, DC, and with experts in clean energy technologies and climate change. It is a well conceived prescription for change.
ON DECEMBER 7, THE OPENING DAY OF COPENHAGEN 2009, THE CLEAN TECH CENTER WILL RELEASE A REPORT ON CLEAN ENERGY - INNOVATION RESOURCES AT A PRESS CONFERENCE WITH CONGRESSMAN DAN MAFFEI. BE FIRST TO GET THE REPORT AT:
