Collaboration is must for innovation
Innovating for a competitive edge is only part of the story
The inside story behind the dramatic drop in renewable energy prices is often quite mundane. In this podcast, we discuss with Angus Vantach-Wood how nitty gritty technical and commercial details led to the rapid decline of offshore wind prices in the UK. The story is really that of a trusted organization bringing together industry players to collaboratively explore solutions to common problems. The Carbon Trust is now expanding the approach to floating wind and expanding the integration of wind energy to existing infrastructure. In promoting innovation in energy access it is trying some of these same tools on the energy access situation in Africa. Here it is using challenge funds to support a broad range of initiatives, collaborative approaches and an educational programme on energy access.
