Objective
Stage Gate
Several key levers exist to accelerate the energy transition
01
Policy
02
Demand Side Behavioural Change
03
Technology Development & Deployments
Both policy and demand side behavioural change are critical, but the Technology Deployment Blueprint focuses on Technology Development & Deployment, primaruly on:
Effective Technology Scale Up
Successful Project Delivery
Energy Technology Innovation Challenges:
-
01
Information Overload for Technology Founders
We are just bombarded with so much information it’s impossible. To support start up technologies, you really need to make it simple
-
02
Asymmetrical technical & commercial progression
Lop sided progress can lead to:
- A demonstrated technology in search of a market
- A waiting market without a working technology
-
03
Technology Development & Delivery Risk
Technology risk, Integration risk & organisational maturity compound an already challenging capital delivery industry:
- On Time, on Budget, on Spec is rare. Particularly where innovation is involved
-
04
“Valley of death”
The well acknowledged “valley of death”
- Central to UK Governments Industrial Strategy and a well acknowledged challenge
