Description
Summary:The invention, use and dissemination of clean energy technologies are important instruments in the fight against global climate change. Two indicators - R&D expenditure and patents - enable a qualitative assessment of potential energy innovation. A comparison of the technologies, especially of energy, climate protection and other technologies, shows that energy research lost importance compared to other fields of technology over a period of 25 years and has only been able to regain ground in recent years, not least due to the activities of emerging economies. Potential climate protection expenditure as a share of energy-related R&D expenditure has nevertheless increased more or less steadily. [PUB ABSTRACT]
