"Recognizing the critical role of innovative energy technology research, development and demonstration (RD&D) in realizing energy security and addressing climate change in the long-term, we should collectively endeavor to increase energy RD&D according to our national circumstances. Those of us interested will take the initiative to accelerate efficient and lower carbon technology RD&D by using relevant structures within the IEA and the technology development roadmaps for key technologies prepared by the IEA and countries; assessing the current status of existing international partnerships for technology cooperation; and exploring the need for additional ones, along with the IEA non-Member partners and other entities and relevant partnerships, and invite interested major economies to join in these efforts. We will also employ policy and fiscal measures to catalyze private markets for commercialization of these technologies."

With our recent workshop we have taken a first important step in learning more about how to take this work forward based on approaches and experiences from current roadmap exercises.

Thank you all for contributions to a successful roadmap workshop. Please find the final summary attached.

We hope to be able to draw on your experience as this work unfolds.

Best regards,
