In response to the growing demand for clean energy, governments and firms worldwide are eager to play their roles in the rapidly expanding clean energy economy. As policymakers develop new industrial strategies to enhance energy security and combat climate change, there is a sense of urgency to embrace clean technology manufacturing. The Energy Technology Perspectives Special Report is designed to assist decision-makers in developing and evaluating their strategies for this sector.
The report outlines guiding principles that can inform future planning in clean technology manufacturing. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is not feasible, these principles were developed in response to a request from G7 Leaders in 2023. The report draws on insights gathered during a High-level Dialogue on Diversifying Clean Technology Manufacturing held at the IEA headquarters in Paris in November of the same year. Additionally, the report leverages analysis conducted as part of the latest edition of the IEA’s flagship technology publication, Energy Technology Perspectives, as well as two Special Briefings on clean technology manufacturing throughout 2023.
The Energy Technology Perspectives Special Report provides valuable insights for decision-makers looking to develop and evaluate their strategies for the clean technology manufacturing sector. With its focus on guiding principles and practical recommendations, the report offers a comprehensive approach to planning for this rapidly expanding industry.
