|
Mobilising investment in low-carbon technologies, including in renewable-power generation, is central to meeting the commitment in the 2015 Paris Agreement to "holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels". SOEs and the low-carbon transition
18/04/2018 - This working paper examines the role and influence of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the fossil fuel extraction and electricity sectors. After providing the bigger picture of the extensive influence of SOEs over energy-related greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions in many countries, the research focuses specifically on investment in deployment of renewable electricity technologies.

Investment & innovation in renewable energy
21/02/2017 - What’s holding back investment and innovation in renewable energy? There is no shortage of capital available globally to finance renewable-energy projects. The financial sector encompasses more than €100 trillion of assets. So how is it that investment in renewable energy is not flowing faster? Read the blog
31/05/2017 - The working paper “The Empirics of Enabling Investment and Innovation in Renewable Energy” provides insights on key policy drivers and barriers to investment and innovation in renewable power in OECD and G20 countries. Based on econometric analysis, it assesses the impacts of climate mitigation policies and the quality of the investment environment on both investment and patenting activity in renewable-power generation since 2000. The analysis also assesses how the investment environment and related policy misalignments influence the effect of climate mitigation policies in encouraging renewables investment and innovation.
1/08/2017 - Successfully attracting investment and innovation in renewable energy requires not only core climate policies, such as pricing carbon, but also a focus on the broader investment environment. This article on "The government role in mobilising investment and innovation in renewable energy" reviews some of the main factors holding back investment and innovation in renewable energy and looks at what governments can do to take action.
