Funded Activity Summary

Analysis of strategies to accelerate the deployment of low emissions technologies for electric power generation in response to climate change. While much emphasis is currently being given to an emissions trading scheme (ETS) to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG), an ETS is necessary but not sufficient for new technology deployment. New low-emission technologies for electricity generation must be deployed on a massive scale to achieve the required reductions in GHG and this has major implications for research and development and demonstration. Much technology is already known, but it awaits large-scale commercial implementation before the costs come down to allow wide-spread utilisation, even with a price on carbon. This project will identify those technologies where large-scale investment is justified and the associated mechanisms and policies required to accelerate the introduction of new technologies at major scale.
