Recommendation 7
7
Accepted
Report publicly on progress against defined measures of success for each technology area.
Recommendation
There is no clear mechanism for reporting publicly progress in each of the priority technology areas. Government uses its overall Net Zero Strategy to report on the overall approach and progress to net zero but acknowledges this will not give all the detail that Parliament needs on progress in the priority technology areas. Some of the investment includes projects on the Government Major Projects Portfolio, for example the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, and in those instances, performance is reported publicly. However, these projects account for only a small number of the technologies in the Innovation Framework. As we have previously recommended in relation to net zero, the Government needs to report progress to the public in a user-friendly way that details where we are against our net zero goals, whether we are on track and, if not, how much we still have to do. Recommendation 7: For each of the technology areas, the Government should report publicly on progress against the measures of success that it has defined, to make it visible whether the initial expectations are being met. 8 Support for innovation to deliver net zero 1 Supporting the delivery of new technologies
