Low Carbon Technology Partnership Initiative (LCTPi) (Main)

The Low Carbon Technology Partnerships initiative (LCTPi) is comprised of over 235 companies and 70 partners who are committed to accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.

At COP23, LCTPi companies and partners will connect with key policymakers to encourage stronger climate commitments through low-carbon technology. Throughout 2018, LCTPi will continue pushing for impact and increasing scale. Your company can join today.

The Low Carbon Technology Partnership initiative (LCTPi) consists of 9 sub-initiatives. These are the following: LCTPi Carbon Capture and Storage, LCTPi Cement Sustainability Initiative, LCTPi Chemicals, LCTPi Climate Smart Agriculture, LCTPi Energy Efficiency in Buildings, LCTPi Forests, LCTPi Low Carbon Freight, LCTPi Low Carbon Transport Fuels, LCTPi Renewables.

LCTPi has evolved over its three years and now focuses on six projects: REscale, New Energy Solutions, Emobility, Transforming Heavy Transport, Natural Climate Solutions and Climate Smart Agriculture. At the same time, member companies are targeting a wider expanse of regions and sectors.
