Why AI changes the approach
Your R&D pipeline should prioritize low-carbon innovation. AI helps you identify high-impact R&D investments.
Step-by-step
- 1
Map current R&D: What are you investing in? Which projects could reduce carbon?
- 2
Ask AI: "Rank our R&D pipeline by carbon impact. Which projects, if successful, would have biggest emissions reduction?"
- 3
Identify gaps: Where should we invest? (breakthrough tech, cost reduction, scale-up)
- 4
Reallocate R&D budget: Shift toward high-carbon-impact projects
- 5
Track carbon ROI: For each R&D project, measure: cost invested, carbon impact if successful, probability of success, expected carbon ROI
Ready-to-use prompts
