Clean Technologies
See the Clean Technology Industry Landscape in Context
The transition to a lower-carbon economy is reshaping technologies, markets and global supply chains. As new technologies scale, understanding their development increasingly means looking beyond technology alone.
Material availability, production costs, supply chains, market demand and policy are all influencing how clean technologies develop and compete.
Changes in raw material availability can influence production costs and technology competitiveness, while shifts in regulation, supply chains or demand can affect investment, deployment and growth across related value chains.
CRU brings together expertise across these areas, providing the independent intelligence organisations need to understand the clean technology landscape and make better informed decisions.

CRU provides connected market intelligence across the clean technology industry and the value chains that support it. Our coverage spans technologies, materials, costs and markets across areas including batteries, energy storage, solar and specialty phosphates.
Understanding the Connections that Underpin Clean Technology Markets
Clean technology markets are shaped by more than the technologies themselves. The development and deployment of clean technologies depend on material availability, production costs, manufacturing capacity, supply chains, policy and regulation - all of which can influence investment, demand and adoption
These factors do not operate independently. Developments in one part of the clean technology value chain can have implications across others, creating risks and opportunities that cannot be understood through a single market or data point.
CRU brings together expert intelligence and analysis across clean technologies, raw material markets, and supply chains to provide a connected view of these dynamics and what they mean for your business.
FAQ's
The clean technology industry includes the technologies, markets, and value chains supporting the transition to lower-carbon energy and industrial systems.
This includes renewable energy production, energy storage, and technologies such as batteries and solar alongside the materials and supply chains that support their development.
The clean technology industry is shaped by factors including technology development, manufacturing capacity, investment, policy, energy costs and demand for the technologies and materials supporting low-carbon energy generation and energy transition. Energy security and the need to secure resilient energy supplies are also influencing the development and adoption of clean technologies.
Clean technology markets are connected through technologies, materials, manufacturing, and supply chains. Changes in demand for materials used in clean technologies can affect their availability, costs, and supply for other applications. For example, increasing demand for lithium or phosphate materials for battery manufacturing can influence wider material markets, while growing demand for copper and aluminium for electricity transmission can affect availability for other end uses.
Raw materials are important to the clean technology industry because their availability, cost, and supply can influence technology development, manufacturing economics, and the wider value chain. CRU combines expertise across clean technologies and commodity markets to examine the relationships between raw materials, technologies and the markets they support.
