Emerging Energy Technologies
In the UK the Prime Minister has
said, that in the light of the Government's general policy to
focus on the climate, reliability of energy supplies and
affordability for the customer, it will publish a policy statement
on energy policy in 2006 which will examine all the options for
future UK energy policy.
The Technology Programme's
support for relevant industry-led R&D is therefore only one part
of a wider range of support initiatives for emerging energy
technologies. These include the Research Council Energy Programme
and several DTI capital grant demonstration programmes. The Carbon
Trust amongst others also supports technology development across a
portfolio of technologies.
Activity to date:
The Technology Programme also
funds a Knowledge Transfer Network in the
fuel cells
and low Carbon area.
