In this explainer, we look at the dynamics of technology deployment, with an overview of the historical development of renewable energies, a focus on some innovation mechanisms, and an introduction to a key indicator, the TRL (Technology Readiness Level).
These notions are essential to follow the evolution of the different climate technologies, as the decarbonization of our societies depends greatly on our ability to deploy low-carbon technologies at the appropriate speed - often at a much faster pace than what has been observed in the past (on this subject, see the latest Zenon report, available at this link
