The survey covered both privately and publicly funded low carbon innovation, surveying the top 4,000 innovators in the country. The survey examined the main focus of R&D investment in new products and services relating to:<ul><li>lowering energy consumption</li><li>renewable energy</li><li>reducing cost of established low energy consumption technology</li><li>reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions</li><li>second generation biofuels</li><li>low carbon enabling products or technologies</li><li>nuclear energy</li></ul>The survey covered investment in low carbon R&D, as well as in later stage demonstration and deployment. With a 50% response rate, the survey provides only an indication of investment levels, and care should be taken when comparing with data based on different levels of response. Linking to other business studies These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research. Main Topics: The survey included questions relating to:<ul><li>whether or not the business has undertaken any R&D activities for the main purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions</li><li>total in-house expenditure on low emissions R&D</li><li>expenditure on basic and applied research, experimental development and proof of concept</li><li>expenditure on trialling and deploying the material, product, or process in a working environment on a pre-commercial basis</li><li>support from government incentives</li><li>main focus of research, e.g. lower energy consumption, renewable energy</li></ul>The survey data also include the business' total expenditure on R&D activities of all kinds in 2007.
