Prepared by Clean Energy Group and the Carbon Trust. This first phase of a joint project between CEG and the Carbon Trust was completed in April 2005.
The Report 1) identifies a number of important barriers that hinder investment in clean energy markets; 2) reveals considerable enthusiasm in the transatlantic investment community for promoting new financial structures and policy mechanisms; and, 3) sets out next steps to gain support for the initiative through two subsequent phases of the work.

May 11, 2004. Chris Mottshead, BP. Mottershead gave this slide presentation at the Climate Group meeting in Toronto. In his presentation, he outlines 16 new business opportunities for BP and other companies, with a strategy to widen those “wedges” to real businesses.
The longer version of this analysis can be found in the July/August 2004 edition of Foreign Affairs by Sir John Browne, Group Chief Executive of BP, in “Beyond Kyoto.” He argues for a similar cap and trade approach, combined with technology innovation and public investment to take the policy discussions into the real world of business opportunity.

“This report, written by the Clean Energy Group, looks at the energy industry from a disruptive point of view. If the natural process of disruption is allowed to proceed, it would bring about change that would produce critical social, economic, and environmental benefits…I hope this report helps you frame the key issues in a unique and powerful way."

The Clean Energy Initiative is an ongoing effort of the Clean Energy Group, E+Co. and the Reinvestment Fund to identify and examine opportunities for collaborative investment that will advance the deployment and commercialization of clean energy technologies. Numerous public and private investors have established targeted investment funds for low-carbon or clean energy technologies, but to date, there has been no effort to take a systematic approach to create new sources of such capital. This memo discusses the findings of a group of funders who met at the Pocantico conference center in New York in November 2003.
