What are the new eco-innovations and green technologies that, if implemented on a large scale, would significantly mitigate the negative impacts of the current energy crisis?
Many new eco-innovations and green technologies have still not left the research laboratories, they are still in the research and testing, prototype phase. The current energy crisis should motivate both government agencies of ministries managing the energy sector and commercially operating companies and enterprises in the energy sector to subsidise the ongoing research work, conducted in research and development institutions on the creation and industrial-scale implementation of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies. The current energy crisis is characterised by rapidly rising fuel and energy prices and the increasing scale of energy shortages. In some countries, the government is offering subsidies for the purchase of more expensive fuels and energy. However, this creates another pro-inflationary factor. Another and perhaps more sensible solution to support citizens and businesses to survive the energy crisis would be to increase subsidies to R&D and scientific institutions in whose laboratories new eco-innovations and energy technologies are developed. This raises the question of what kind of new eco-innovations and green energy and other technologies being created now, what kind of R&D should be subsidised now?
The creation of what kinds of eco-innovations and green technologies should now be subsidised?
What are the new eco-innovations and green technologies whose funding of large-scale implementation programmes could mitigate the negative effects of the energy crisis?
What is your opinion on this subject?
Please respond,
I invite you all to discuss,
Thank you very much,

I think eco-friendly household electronics are one of them. This is me personal view and I am not an expert. Please enlighten me.
Power production technologies based on solar and wind energy resources should be subsidized and constantly improved together with green hydrogen production technologies. This is exactly what is being done now.
I have seen the potential for geothermal to replace wind and solar; consider what Fervo and Eavor are doing. As far as research in these areas, that would probably have to do with ground sensing technology and drilling.
I strongly believe the number one innovation would be a cell to be adapted to flue gas outlets to permit air pollution control and CO2 emissions, this would not be a break to the development of other technologies, but it would allow a more smooth transition.
