DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kavita Surana\nhosted by ISTA Sustainability Group\nAb
 stract: Accelerating technological innovation is essential for decarbonizi
 ng the energy system and for meeting climate and energy goals. The Interna
 tional Energy Agency estimates that technologies to meet three-fourths of 
 long-term sustainable energy goals are still not mature. Addressing the cl
 imate challenge therefore involves increasing research and development but
  also ensuring that climate and energy technologies scale up rapidly and c
 an be deployed cost effectively. In this talk\, I will discuss three diffe
 rent challenges for why it is difficult to accelerate innovation in these 
 technologies. First\, climate and energy innovation has long development c
 ycles\, i.e.\, it can take decades to move from discovery to real world de
 ployment. Second\, innovation is not simply about end products (e.g.\, win
 d turbines\, electric vehicles\, or battery storage) – it occurs across 
 the value chain with components and processes of different complexities\, 
 requiring different skills or material inputs. Third\, climate and energy 
 innovation is a systems challenge requiring breakthroughs in multiple scie
 ntific and technical domains along with public policy incentives\, behavio
 r change\, and private sector transformation.
