SOLAR PV and CSP technologies Policy recommendations from the ICARUS survey on current state and future developments Solar PV and CSP technologies represent a concrete and promising solution to reduce the dependence from fossil sources, and therefore to meet climate change policy targets while ensuring reliable energy supply. The ICARUS team interviewed 16 leading experts […]
Expert elicitation
While data collection and analysis can provide extremely valuable information on past dynamics and development, ICARUS recognizes the determining role of uncertainty on the outcome of current and future innovation processes. In order to gauge the distorting effect of uncertainty on innovating firms’ behavior, ICARUS is carrying out a comprehensive experts’ elicitation process. This will result in new quantitative data and qualitative information on the technical characteristics of different carbon-free technologies and on the main barriers to their success and diffusion into the market.

Energy technologies in 2030 – the first chapter of ICARUS experts’ elicitation
06/08/2010 by
A major role in combating climate change will be played by innovative technologies that are less carbon intensive than the current ones. In the ICARUS project we investigate several technologies for the transport and energy sectors in order to understand if they will become commercial and common technologies, in future decades. In these first months […]
