Innovation Policy for Climate Change: A Report to the Nation
The world is not on a path to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The suite of commercially viable climate-friendly energy technology needs to be expanded rapidly, which in turn requires appropriate government policies. The current high cost of delivering low-carbon energy means that energy-climate technologies must be treated by governments as…

Coal Without Carbon
There is widespread agreement that technologies for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) from coal fired power plants are an essential tool to mitigate global climate change. While current technology can do the job, more efficient and less expensive CCS-related technologies would be highly beneficial. This study examines several technologies for…
