This report presents novel descriptive evidence on global trends in patenting in low-carbon technologies, with a particular focus on the energy and road transport sector. The analysis discusses the role of public policies in driving the rate and the direction of innovation for a low-carbon future.}, url = {http://tind.wipo.int/record/46657}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.34667/tind.46657}, }
