Other emerging technologies

The UK is leading the development of a number of low-carbon technologies that will play an important role in the future. These include:

  • marine energy technology (such as from wave and tidal power)
  • offshore wind power
  • organic LED materials technology
  • ultra-efficient panel lighting
  • control systems for smart metering of electricity
  • intelligent management of the electricity grid
  • battery chemistry and management 

We refer to many of these emerging technologies, such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on this website, in their specific sub-sections. Some you can read about in this section.
