This Energy Technology Perspectives Special Briefing provides a targeted update on recent progress in clean energy technology manufacturing in key regions. Covering five technologies – solar PV modules, wind turbine, batteries, electrolysers and heat pumps – that will be critical to the energy transition, the analysis is focused on the areas of supply chains that are showing the greatest dynamism in response to recent policy and industrial strategy developments.
It contains data on the project pipeline for key technologies to the end of September 2023. This analysis constitutes one of the deliverables requested by G7 leaders from the IEA: an update on clean technology supply chains to be provided ahead of COP 28, the next UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties, at the end of 2023. Ensuring that clean energy technology supply chains are secure and resilient are an important aim of public policy. Major policy announcements of recent years, including the US Inflation Reduction Act, the EU Net Zero Industry Act and India’s Production Linked Incentive scheme are already starting to ripple through the manufacturing sector.
