Turner Harris consutlants were asked to support the members of a global taskforce operating under the oversight of the World Economic Forum, with a remit to analyse the role of nascent renewable and clean energy technologies in selected global markets.

These technologies had the potential to contribute significantly to improving the energy security and carbon reduction programmes of country’ identified as potential adopters, but may need revisions to public policy, financial support mechanisms or national transmission infrastructure before such an adoption could take place.

This covered the provision of:

• Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) on nascent clean/renewable technologies (e.g. Photovoltaic Quantum Dot, Carbon Capture & Storage, Offshore Floating Wind etc.)
• Market assessment at a national level across global geographies
• High-level macroeconomic assessment and forecasting for these markets.
• Engagement with global enterprise and national governments (within the UK, Japan and India) to understand policy direction and industrial/economic challenges to adoption.

Turner Harris provided a structured framework for collating the research and evidence required. We then authored the country analyses for the markets in question in collaboration with taskforce stakeholders, through a series of consultations with regional and international stakeholders.

Our experts worked with WEF staff, and PwC to co-ordinate the contributions from other member organisations, and validate the final output.
