This session will also provide insights on how European Technology and Innovation Platforms can take a central role in supporting Europe’s research and innovation policy. It will also look at opportunities for collaboration between energy technologies.
- A discussion on the novel instrument of Carbon Contracts for Difference to de-risk innovative clean energy projects. CCFDs have been proposed as a new form of support in the Innovation Fund of the Emissions Trading Scheme.
