Our experience
We have successfully informed government policy and thinking
across the business and the investor community on transforming
markets.
In the UK, we have helped successive governments develop key low
carbon policies such as the Carbon Reduction
Commitment, the UK's approach to clean technology innovation
and the Green Investment Bank.
Overseas, our work is shaping low carbon strategy, energy policy
and the creation of major new programmes assisting business and the
public sector in the world's developed and emerging economies,
including the EU, China, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. In
Europe, our work on carbon leakage has helped to frame the debate
on EU Emissions Trading Scheme caps and reforms.
Through studies and expert advice Carbon Trust has successfully
catalysed transformational thinking and change across business
sectors. We have identified the key risks and opportunities related
to technology, policy and consumer demand and quantified how they
might impact long-term share prices.
How we can help
We carry out work commissioned directly by clients and
proactively initiated by us where we bring partners and funders
together to confront the most pressing challenges facing low carbon
policy and markets.
Our experience, research and expertise make us unparalleled
experts on low carbon issues. We offer our clients and funding
partners credibility as an independent authority.
We focus on three areas that are key to achieving the transition
to a low carbon economy:
- Energy efficiency: one of the most effective low cost ways of
reducing carbon emissions. We aim to dramatically improve the
carbon and energy efficiencies of national economies and
business.
- Innovation: new technologies, strategies and ideas are critical
to meeting emissions targets effectively. Our pursuit of innovation
will also significantly reduce the cost of the transition to a low
carbon economy.
- Consumer demand: the ultimate driver of global emissions. Our
work aims to unlock demand for low carbon products and
services.
