Systematic mapping of strategic vulnerabilities in clean technology supply chains
A policy and analytical project exploring how international partnerships can strengthen clean technology supply chains, support energy resilience, and advance national security.
About Us
The Clean Technology Partnerships Initiative is a policy and analytical project exploring how international partnerships can strengthen clean technology supply chains. The project maps critical vulnerabilities across priority clean technologies and identifies where partnerships with developing economies could mitigate risk while supporting energy resilience, economic growth, and national security. The work engages UK and European policymakers and ministers alongside industry, and will culminate in a report setting out potential specific Clean Technology Partnerships.
Membership of the CTPI includes individuals with experience and expertise from governments, the private sector, and investors. Our project lead and Chair is Peter Hill, formerly CEO of COP26 and Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister.
The CTPI is gratefully funded by philanthropy.
The CTPI is combining an analytical exercise with a policy exercise, building on existing work that has been going on for 2 years, utilising databases of global supply chains that have been mapped by partners at IEA, Rhodium, Net Zero Industrial Policy Lab, Carnegie, Bruegel, and IPPR.
Our Analysis
Our objective is to produce detailed analysis on potential cross-border clean technology partnerships that reduce strategic vulnerabilities, build new export markets and reduce technology capacity gaps.
We have been systematically mapping the strategic vulnerabilities embedded in clean technology supply chains, conducting analysis across the UK and EU which will be brought together in our report.
We are building on the work of brilliant analysis already undertaken by the Net Zero Policy Lab at Johns Hopkins University and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, among others. We've also drawn on the expertise of analysts from think tanks, research organisations, and policymakers.
With a strong evidence base and analysis, we hope to help governments make the difficult but necessary prioritisation decisions to build resilient clean technology supply chains.
Ensuring stable, secure access to the clean technologies underpinning the transition to net zero energy systems.
Reducing strategic dependence on potentially adversarial supply chains for critical clean technologies.
Building new export markets and industrial capacity through targeted partnership with developing economies.
Publications
