Inside Green Innovation: Progress Report

Our annual report analyses patent filings across several areas of innovation, including food production, renewable energy, and materials and recycling.

This data-driven report gets behind the rhetoric, to shed light on the state of progress in the development of green technologies. How close are we to finding the technological solutions that will be so important for achieving sustainability? Where, and by whom, are these innovations being developed?

We have attempted to leverage our experience of working with technology experts and the patent system, and to navigate these resources to produce data driven analysis, and to try to pull back the curtain on the progress of green technologies.

Our latest report was released in November 2023.

In November 2022, we published the second edition of our report, examining global progress in green innovation, and what it might mean to countries, commerce and the planet.

Such was the continued response to the report in 2022, that we have again broadened and refined the report’s scope for our third edition. Along with revisiting the innovation areas of energy (hydrogen | batteries), food/alternative proteins (plant-based meat | cultivated meat | insect protein), and materials (bioplastics | carbon capture | plastics recycling), Inside Green Innovation: Progress Report – Third Edition includes analyses of technological developments in wind and nuclear energy.

• Energy (hydrogen | batteries | nuclear | wind)
• Food (plant-based meat | cultivated meat | insect protein)
• Materials (bioplastics | carbon capture | plastics recycling)
