Increasing fossil fuel scarcity and deteriorating environmental conditions urge for a transition towards a more sustainable use of energy. Policy makers of various countries however respond very differently when it comes to policies for the development and deployment of renewable energy technologies. Whereas some countries leave the creation and diffusion of green innovations to the market, other countries know a strong leading role for the government in technical innovation processes. As a consequence they are likely to experience very different results. This leads us to the question of the lecture: what are the consequences of different energy transition governance perspectives on the development and deployment of green innovations?


This lecture is organised within the Energy Programme Asia (EPA) Lecture Series 2010: Domestic and Geopolitical Challenges to Energy Security for China and the European Union
