What are the potential cost reductions due to new technology developments in innovative and pre-commercial renewables technologies? Such as, but not limited to, marine technologies, floating offshore wind, and bi-facial/tracking solar.
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
