Abstract: Mitigating climate change requires directed innovation efforts to develop and deploy energy technologies. An analysis of these directed efforts finds that efficient end-use technologies contribute large potential emission reductions and provide higher social returns on investment than do energy supply technologies. Yet public institutions, policies and financial resources pervasively privilege energy supply technologies.
