        Cool Earth Energy Innovative Technology Plan

        …organized under Akira Amari, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, announced the Cool Earth Innovative Energy Technology Program. The commission selected 21 innovative technologies whose development and deployment should be prioritised to achieve the target.
        In the program, roadmaps with an outlook extending to around 2050 were prepared along with examinations on the effectiveness of the technologies and measures toward dissemination. In addition, the Program aims to strengthen international co-operation to accelerate innovative technology R&D, through existing international frameworks such as the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) and APP on clean coal; GNEP and GIF on nuclear…

        Emerging Renewables Program

        The Emerging Renewables Program (ERP) funded activities to support the development, demonstration and early stage deployment of renewable energy technologies with the potential to lower the cost, and thereby increase the supply, of renewable energy in Australia. The program was also open to activities that remove or reduce roadblocks to the delivery of ARENA’s strategic initiatives and activities to fill critical knowledge gaps within the industry. ERP has been superceded by the Advancing Renewables Programme and the Research and Development Programme and is closed to new applications.

        Green innovation funding: the French programme of Investments for the future

        …2.45 billion of credits, this initiative is part of the EUR 35 billion Investments for the Future (PIA) programme. The programme is already demonstrating its ability to unite companies and research partners, and to stimulate their innovationcapabilities. Compared to other existing national research programmes, this new programme aims at bringing innovation to the market and focuses on specific fields set up by strategic roadmaps.

        Specific fields eligible for funding include:
        (i) renewable energy and green chemistry (EUR 1.1 billion): development of new technologies in decarbonised energy (e.g. solar, wind), bioresources, low-carbon buildings, energy storage and carbon…

        U.S. DRIVE - Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle Efficiency and Energy Sustainability

        U.S. DRIVE (formerly known as FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership), which stands for Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle efficiency and Energy sustainability, facilitates pre-competitive technical information exchange among experts who interact as equal partners to discuss R&D needs, develop joint goals and technology-specific roadmaps, and evaluate R&D progress for a broad range of technical areas. This collaboration enables peers to discuss pre-competitive R&D needs, identify solutions, and track progress toward shared technical goals. Additionally, it helps avoid duplicative efforts and ensures that publicly-funded research yields valuable results and addresses…

        Timeline:
        2012: commissioning of design
        2013 - 2015: initial investment phase (PHP 500 million investment, 500 local jobs generated)
        2015: stakeholder engagement - local government units (LGUs), financial institutions, and Transport Operators and Drivers' Associations

        Roadmap:
        SHORT-TERM (2017-2019)
        - Lobby with LGU to provide enabling environment such as preferential franchises for electric vehicles.
        - Network with LandBank of the Philippines (LBP) and other financial conduits such as, rural banks, transport cooperatives, multi-purpose cooperatives to provide loan facilities.
        - Facilitate the establishment of minimum performance and non-discriminatory regulations for EVs and charging stations.
        - Facilitate the improvement of…

        Cabinet’s initial decisions on this allocation include:
        Housing and urban development: $464m
        Environmental: $460m
        Community and social development: $670m
        Transport (cycleways, walkways, ports and roads): $708m
        The projects are in addition to the $12 billion New Zealand Upgrade Programme and existing Provincial Growth Fund investments.

        (Note: not all projects will necessarily be related to the clean energy transition, but given the scale of this recovery package, we thought it best to include it as reference when analysing and understanding the strategic planning of New Zealand's recovery planning.)

        Guiding Opinion on Implementation of the China 13th Renewable Energy Development Five Year Plan (2016-2020)

        The Guiding Opinion was published by the National Energy Administration on 19th of July 2017. The document enlisted the annual construction quota of wind, solar and biomass power from 2017 to 2020.
        The Guiding Opinion was released to give a discretionary guidance on the construction scale, distribution layout and implementation roadmap of implementation of wind (110.41 GW), photovoltaic (PV) (86.5 GW), hydroelectric, and biomass (23.34 GW) power generation from 2017 to 2020.
        This is the first time to implement non-hydroelectric renewable energy construction planning at a provincial level and on a yearly basis (except biomass). There…
