Eco-innovation and research
Description
Using the heat pump, the Stirling motor and the quantum cascade laser as examples, the report examines which factors were decisive for technological leaps in the development of these eco-innovations and how much time the developments took. In addition to a mature technology, other factors are also relevant for the market penetration of eco-innovations. In particular, legal framework conditions trigger technological leaps in eco-innovations that take into account the need for resource savings, climate and environmental protection. Better products or lower costs also lead to higher penetration levels. Research is not only a prerequisite for innovation, but is also seen as a service for the entire eco-innovation process.
