This graphic depicts the innovation stage of various climate technologies. It utilizes a ‘hype curve’ to illustrate the level of excitement and interest for each. Those on the left side of the curve, such as carbon capture and storage (CCUS), are in the early stages of innovation, also known as the ‘Innovation Trigger’ phase. They’re generating a lot of interest but haven’t yet been widely adopted. Conversely, technologies on the right side of the curve, like battery recycling and electric vehicles (EVs), are approaching the ‘Plateau of Productivity’ stage. This indicates that they’re becoming more mature and commercially viable. The curve serves as a useful tool for visualizing the evolving landscape of climate technologies. It highlights areas of high interest and potential, while also acknowledging that some solutions require more time for development before widespread adoption.
