Recommendation 24
24
Increase investment in operationalising existing energy solutions and bridge R&D funding gaps
Recommendation
The Government should maintain its commitment to research and innovation while increasing investment in the operationalisation of existing, effective energy solutions. Funding mechanisms must bridge the gap between early- 35 stage R&D and market-ready technologies, providing opportunities for commercialisation and ensuring sustained support for community-based systems. (Recommendation, Paragraph 76)
