Sectoral Case Studies in Innovation: Energy
Send Print
The specific objectives of the case study on energy, which is being conducted in collaboration with the International Energy Agency’s Committee on Energy Research and Technology, are:
i) to undertake crosscountry and cross-industry comparisons of innovation processes and R&D productivity in the energy sector, and
ii) to formulate policy recommendations that improve the efficiency of the national energy innovation systems and the productivity of R&D investments in the energy sector.
The study focusus on fuel cell technology, which is of interest to all the participating countries, but other fields also examined, including oil & gas extraction technologies and clean coal technology. Particular attention is paid to the impact of ICT, regulatory changes and environment concerns on R&D in the energy sector and on the overall efficiency of the national energy innovation systems.
The study highlights the challenges associated with innovation in large technological infrastructures (e.g. issues of technological lock-in and system inter-dependencies). It examines systemic imperfections that may hinder the improvement of R&D productivity and the innovative capacity of the energy sector with a particular emphasis on R&D funding, public-private partnerships in research and technological development, and IPR management.
