LucidCatalyst is a highly specialised international consultancy offering thought leadership, strategy development and techno-economic expertise. Our mission is to multiply and accelerate zero carbon technology options available for large-scale, affordable, market-based decarbonization of the global economy over a wide range of future scenarios.
To most expediently address climate change, we need to build a broad consensus around an expanded view of solutions. We work to remove gaps in understanding, policy barriers, real and perceived investment risk, and technological barriers in order to create the possibility for technology inclusive evidence-based decision making.
EU must include nuclear power in its list of sustainable sources
Read our Open Letter in the Financial Times. The 53 signatories include notable climate scientists, academics, political leaders, regulators, climate NGOs, authors, artists, investors, and also include LucidCatalyst's Kirsty Gogan and Eric Ingersoll.
We need more of our climate solutions to be Impossible™ burgers
Read our OpEd, first published in Business Green: All our work is focused on urgency and scale. Our conclusions suggest that the lowest-risk pathways for a rapid transition will be to supply carbon-neutral substitutes for carbon intensive energy uses—and make them so similar that hardly anyone notices. Just like an impossible burger.
IAEA Climate Conference Ends with Call for Major Nuclear Role
The full value of nuclear power—the only energy source along with hydropower that has demonstrated the capability to decarbonize electricity supply on a national scale—needs to be fully recognized if the world is to solve its climate crisis.
A low-carbon future needs partnerships
Combining wind and solar with nuclear power generation supports a resilient energy system at reasonable cost. This was the consensus of a debate on multilateral partnerships that took place at the International Conference on Climate Change. LC's Kirsty Gogan discusses the role of nuclear in the clean energy transition.
A win for science-based climate policy making
If you haven’t heard the news, we recently had a small, but significant win for science-based climate policy making. It was announced that EU ministers decided not to restrict nuclear energy for inclusion on the sustainable finance taxonomy.
NNWI Forum 2019 Conference in London
We enjoyed participating in discussions about nuclear energy as part of Europe’s energy mix.
