Getting there, though, needs some serious focus on green technologies supported by policies that will get them rolled out. Show Hide For almost three decades, world governments have met every year to forge a global response to the climate emergency. They could provide the energy storage needed to complement variable wind and solar energy, process heat for industry, and turn iron ore into steel. We believe the UK needs something like the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, created in the US, which “advances high-potential, high-impact energy technologies that are too early for private-sector investment”. By fostering coalitions of the willing, which would focus on clusters of unicorn technologies, the UK could make a major contribution to solving the climate crisis.
