ROAD-MAPPING LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGY TRENDS

ROAD-MAPPING LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGY TRENDS

Provide a global view of the key technology trajectories in low carbon propulsion and low emissions Provide a common foundation for academia and industry to assess opportunities and threats, and to engage with government on the need for investment and support to address these Guide technology developers and provide confidence to their investors regarding industry trajectory

THE ROADMAPS ARE INTENDED TO

Assess the UK’s capability to deliver on the identified technology streams Map out skills, supply chain, financing or policy & regulation requirements. The roadmaps can be used to identify specific needs in these areas separately

THE ROADMAPS ARE NOT INTENDED TO

IDENTIFYING LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGY-LED SUPPLY CHAIN OPPORTUNITIES

UK CAPABILITY STUDY

Identifying opportunities on the road ahead

21 key opportunities for the UK Supply Chain highlighted Identified potential disruptions and

• pportunities to develop

low carbon technologies Formed with the consensus of over 120

• rganisations within

industry

DEFINING PRIORITIES

UK positioning

• f the opportunity

A function of UK technology position, access to markets, cost base infrastructure base, relevant supply chain and skills OPPORTUNISTIC

UK has good positioning for these

• pportunities, though their relative

attractiveness is lower – UK could take advantage of its position as

• pportunities emerge

FOCUS

UK could provide focused support to build upon existing advantages in these attractive opportunity areas

LOWER PRIORITY

Opportunities which are relatively less attractive and for which the UK as a whole is not well positioned, so less national support is warranted. There may still be

• pportunities for individual organisations

INVEST-TO-IMPROVE

UK could invest to improve positioning since these opportunities appear to be attractive

WEAK STRONG LOW HIGH

Attractiveness of the opportunity

A function of market size, profitability and diversity, as well as the quantity and type of employment opportunities
