The @IEA indicate that 75% of emissions reductions required by 2070 can be delivered by tech that ALREADY exists 💡

How can #energyinnovation be accelerated to ensure these techs are ready? 🚀

Studies indicate energy technologies take 20-68 years to move from 1st prototype to 1% of a national market ⏰

Accelerating this process requires the emergence of:
📜supporting policies
⚖️regulatory frameworks
🤝firm engagement &
🙋‍♀️societal support

..to drive market creation
As energy represents a complex legacy sector, this process will be slowed and shaped by inertia contained within existing systems, as new technologies increasingly drive disruption 🎆

We have just published our Review of Energy Policy: 2018!
Check out the thread below for a summary of all our recommendations.

On #Transport: The target for phasing our conventionally fuelled vehicles is inadequate. The @transportgovuk ‘Road to Zero’ (‘ICE ban 2040’) may neither hit the target nor make the early gains needed for a 1.5°C trajectory. @_chris_brand_ @jillian_anable
On #electricity: policy should build on Electricity Market Reform that has worked well & adapt in the light of technology/cost changes. Change in ‘black start’ incentives & other ancillary services are needed to ensure the system remains resilient @energyukcomms @ngcontrolroom
