Turbo für die Energiewende

This policy brief from the European Union’s leading think-tank explores 4 cutting edge clean technologies that could help advance the energy transition without increasing Europe’s dependency on Chinese supply chains and/or reliance on critical materials. This is done by discussing the pros and cons of each technology and assessing their potential future utility across different decarbonisation verticals.

The technologies are as follows:

1. Perovskite solar cells
2. Next-generation geothermal
3. Advanced biofuels
4. Sodium-ion batteries
