Framework Documents

Linking innovations with the potential to deliver net-zero emissions by 2050 to markets and investors require a new generation of frameworks. Frameworks that allow stakeholders to identify, assess and accelerate the uptake of disruptive innovations. The needs are constantly changing and currently three frameworks exists.

Module 1
A Three-Step Solution Framework for Net-Zero Compatible Innovations (TSF)

The Three-Step Solution Framework for Net-Zero Compatible Innovations (TSF) is the introductory framework, providing the context and background for the Net-Zero Compatible Solution Initiative. It describes how stakeholders can move from a reduction only perspective, to also include a solution perspective. It discusses the need to move beyond reductions in existing structures to sustainable system solutions

Module 2
The Avoided Emissions Framework (AEF)

The Avoided Emissions Framework (AEF) is at the core of the initative and provides guidance for how avoided emissions can be assessed…

Module 3
The 1.5 °C Compatibility Pathfinder Framework (CPF)

The 1.5 °C Compatibility Pathfinder Framework (CPF) was developed in response to the IPCCs 1.5 °C special report. It provides guidance forhow innovations can be assessed to increase the probability for 1.5 °C compatibility and especially whether they support an innovation driven low-energy demand pathway or focus mainly on supply-side measures.

Become part of an innovative net-zero emissions agenda

Nominate Innovations

If you have or know of an innovation, where the existing or potential for reduced emissions in society has already been estimated please nominate them. We are also interested in innovations where the potential should be estimated. A thousand solutions that are either of strategic importance and/or with the potential to reduce at least 10 million tonnes CO2e/year by 2030 each will be presented at MI-5.

Nominate users of net-zero innovation frameworks

We are looking for financial companies, large and small solution providers, cities, incubators, etc., who are trying to identify, support, and/or accelerate the uptake of net-zero carbon innovations with the help of net-zero innovation frameworks. One hundred and fifty of these stakeholders will be presented at MI-5.

Improve the Framework

Please provide comments on the current Frameworks.

Stakeholder Material

Below are materials from MI members exploring the framework

>150 Megatonnes of innovations from Chile

Introducing Chile as an “Innovation+ Country” – innovative solutions providers with >150 Megatonnes of potential. This paper presents a strategic group of innovative start-ups from Chile that has been supported by the Solar and Energy Innovation Committee, CORFO Chile. Together these startups have the potential to deliver more than a 150 million tonnes of avoided emissions annually by 2030.

>200 Megatonnes of innovations from India

Introducing India as an “Innovation+ Country” – innovative solutions providers with >200 Megatonnes of potential. This paper presents a strategic group of innovative start-ups from India that has been supported by the Clean Energy International Incubation Centre (CEIIC). Together these startups have the potential to deliver more than a 200 million tonnes of avoided emissions annually by 2030.

>1 Gigatonnes of innovations from Sweden

Introducing Sweden as an “Innovation+ Country” – innovative solutions providers with >1 Gigaton of potential. This paper presents a strategic group of innovative start-ups from Sweden that has been supported by the Swedish Energy Agency. Together these startups have the potential to deliver more than a billion tonnes of avoided emissions annually by 2030.

Delivering on the Mission Innovation action plan 2018-2020

The Mission Innovation action plan 2018 – 2020 that was agreed at the 3rd Mission Innovation Ministerial Meeting the 27th of May 2018, identifies the need to ensure:

Increased private sector engagement and investment in energy innovation, particularly in key Innovation Challenges.

By developing:

A Framework for Assessing Avoided Emissions: Mission Innovation will launch a framework to support investors and funders to identify those system solutions and technologies that have significant ability or potential to contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions in society, so called, avoided emissions.

The full action plan is available on the Mission Innovation webpage. Sweden has been assigned to lead the work in collaboration with interested parties. Following is a first outline for the two-year project that is a continuation of the work leading up to the 3rd Mission Innovation Ministerial Meeting, MI-3.

About Mission Innovation

Launched at the Paris Climate Conference in 2015, Mission Innovation (MI) is a global initiative of 22 countries and the European Commission, on behalf of the European Union, seeking to dramatically accelerate global clean energy innovation and make clean energy widely affordable and reliable.

MI countries represent 60% of the world’s population, 70% of GDP, and 80% of government investment in clean energy research. MI countries are taking action to double their public investments in clean energy R&D over five years while encouraging collaboration among partner nations, sharing information, and coordinating with businesses and investors.
