This project is with IEA Renewable Energy Technology Deployment (IEA-RETD) › IEA-RETD is an intergovernmental platform with a mandate to: i. Address cross-cutting issues that influence the deployment of renewable energy ii. To act as a vehicle to accelerate the market introduction and deployment of renewable energy technologies › Its members are eight major governments: £1.2bn Renewable energy RD&D spend in 2011 by IEA-RETD members 1 Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Norway, and the United Kingdom 1 Source IEA RD&D fund database 3
Carbon Trust has 10+ years delivering low carbon innovation › Mission to accelerate the move to a sustainable, low carbon economy Mission › Advice : We advise businesses, governments and the public sector on opportunities in a sustainable, low carbon economy › Technology : We help develop and deploy low carbon technologies and Strategy, three solutions, from energy efficiency to renewable power focus areas › Footprinting : We measure and certify the environmental footprint of organisations, products and services › Produced 10 Technology Innovation Needs Assessments for the UK Government, firmly establishing agreed national support priorities Innovation › Assessed 3,000 ventures and incubated more than 300 of them examples › Invested nearly £50 million in 28 cutting edge companies › Catalysed £300m+ private co-investment

This project will provide IEA-RETD governments with actionable policy recommendations › Recommend policies for each step of the innovation chain for the relatively emerging technologies such as wave and tidal, offshore wind, concentrating solar power (CSP) and enhanced geothermal (which can be applied in the period of time up to 5 to 10 years from now)… › ….informed by lessons learned from policies given to the currently relatively mature renewable energy technologies (onshore wind, hydropower, solar PV)… › ….given current market dynamics and reduced government budgets… › ….and the needs of the current market players such as venture capitalists and technology developers. › We want to focus on policy recommendations that are additional, implementable, and replicable across countries (this project can’t cover everything) 7
This workshop is at a later stage in this project Synthesis paper , which provides a ‘quick scan’ of existing Task 1 literature and identifies key questions for following tasks Framing workshop with market representatives to sharpen Task 2 project focus and objectives Detailed research and interim report addressing key Task 3 questions highlighted in tasks 1 and 2 To encourage a free and Midterm workshop with government and industry open conversation we Task 4 stakeholders to discuss task 3 findings will apply ‘Chatham House Rules’ Task 5 Final report and policy recommendations 8
