Energy
The energy sector is the biggest source of the human-caused greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change. Policy measures and technological advances that reduce CO2 emissions from energy generation and use are therefore critical to efforts to tackle climate change.
Our work in this area focuses on issues such as how we transition away from fossil fuel energy, support for clean energy technology and innovation, and the role carbon capture, usage and storage can play.
