Indeed, virtually every existing low carbon technology was developed by the public, not the private sector.
The government would sign longer-term contracts with companies hoping to invest in low-carbon technology to give them greater certainty in their investment choices, he told MPs.
London is moving the needle on low-carbon clean technology and carbon-emissions reductions.

It has created a network of a dozen Chinese and U.S. companies to develop joint business ventures to build advanced, low-carbon coal technology in China and around the world.
The carbon capture and storage technology can strip carbon from fossil fuel exhaust gases and store it in rocks, but it is unproven at scale, trials are years behind schedule and it may not work in some areas of the world.
The highest potential for man-made quakes may come from the development of carbon-capture technology, an effort to recover the carbon dioxide released by fossil fuels and blamed for an increase in global temperatures.
Research is under way at the National Energy Technology Laboratory on so-called "carbon sequestration" technology that would capture CO2 gas before it is released into the atmosphere and inject it, either deep into the ocean or into the ground.
We've also taken the lead on advancing carbon-capture technology to commercial scale for new and existing plants.
Nearly three decades later in 2007, while visiting as a professor of chemistry at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Yazami and Robert Grubbs, also a chemistry professor at the Caltech and the recipient of the 2005 Nobel Laureate for Chemistry, were rumored to have made a major breakthrough in carbon-fluoride technology that would revolutionize the field of energy storage.

Following that, 3C wants to see the creation of a global market for carbon emissions trading as well as government support for "clean" technology projects like carbon sequestration and wind farms.
Moreover, during this period, he expected carbon capture and storage technology to become cost-effective, thus helping to reduce or eliminate emissions from gas power stations.
Global warming will shift from vague concern to serious business opportunity, as local and national governments worldwide use taxes, regulations and incentives to push less carbon dioxide-intensive technology.
The i3, scheduled to roll out later this year may appear drastically different from the i8, but the two vehicles are of the same essence electric drive train, lightweight technology, carbon fiber body.

Success with shale gas will reduce dependence on imports and increase tax revenues, they say, but there is a downside: if it takes off, shale gas will shatter the UK's statutory climate change targets unless the government moves much faster with carbon capture and storage technology.
The Liberal Democrat MSP said that initially the power station was to have 400 megawatt of its gross output (300 megawatt net) processed through carbon capture and storage technology, which would leave 75% to 80% of the plant' s CO2 emissions unabated for an indeterminate length of time.
Whether the element is uranium or carbon, however, the technology of such separation is basically the same.
Much of the focus of the meeting is on clean energy, particularly developing new technology to reduce carbon emissions.
GreenShift is working on technology to feed carbon dioxide to algae and then harvest the algae as if they were corn stalks.
Vattenfall, a Swedish nuclear utility, is investing in technology to remove carbon from its newish coal plants in eastern Germany and Poland.
Vivek Nair, 23, of Singapore, who started Damascus Fortune, an organization in India that has developed a technology to produce carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers from industrial flue gas.
Part of whatever it's saving via job cuts may now get pumped into the company's new "Zero Carbon Initiative" to not only become the greenest technology company in the world, but reduce its global carbon emissions by 15% by 2012.
The Rudd government recently admitted that most of the emissions reductions would have to come from carbon offsets, not clean energy technology.
Advocates of self-driving cars also say the technology could help reduce carbon-dioxide emissions, in part by automatically choosing the most efficient route to a destination.
If we can develop the technology to capture the carbon pollution released by coal, it can create jobs and provide energy well into the future.
Longannet was the trial site for carbon capture and storage, a technology that is yet to be proven commercially, but funding for that was withdrawn by the UK Government last October.
Ayrshire Power wants to build a plant with experimental carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at the site.
Furthermore, they rely on carbon capture, a promising but unproven technology.
Pollutants like sulfur are removed, and GreatPoint uses conventional air-chilling technology to separate out the carbon dioxide, which it plans to pump into the ground for enhanced oil recovery.
