Moreover, for novel technologies there is too much \u2018going it alone\u2019 \u2013 firms are generally working in isolation or separately pursuing partnerships with technology suppliers from the west.<br>\n\u2022 The promotion of international collaboration and technology diffusion, such as through setting up pilot and demonstration projects to advance sustainable pathways for the sector, is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/climatecompatiblegrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E-COP26-Policy-Brief.pdf\">Read full brief here\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPPA&nbsp;Prof. Alexandra Mallett&nbsp;have been working with Prosanto Pal from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in New Delhi, India on decarbonizing and making the production of steel more sustainable in India.
