Clare worked for 10 years at the Carbon Trust, contributing to innovation support programmes and strategy development across a wide range of low carbon technologies. She managed a programme investigating the challenges and opportunities for low carbon refurbishment of non-domestic buildings and led the Carbon Trust input to a European strategy for wave and tidal energy deployment.

Clare has a degree in engineering from Cambridge University and worked initially in the industrial gases industry. In 2003 she gained an MSc in Renewable Energy from the University of Reading and in 2014-15 she pursued her interest in the social aspects of energy demand by studying for an MSc in Energy and Society at the University of Durham.
