  The growing attention to the political goal of achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century reflects past failures to alter the trajectory of increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As a consequence, the world now needs to decarbonize all systems and sectors at an unprecedented pace. This commentary discusses how the net-zero challenge presents transition scholarship with four enhanced research challenges that merit more attention: (1) the speed, (2) breadth and (3) depth of transitions as well as (4) tensions and interactions between these.

  This policy briefing discusses decarbonization policies of “hard-to-abate” sectors, emphasizing the implications of these sectors’ complexity. Specifically, we discuss two sources of complexity: (a) heterogeneity in the form of variation across and within technologies and user segments and (b) interdependencies between technologies (within and between their value chains) and between user segments and adopter groups. Based on research on coastal shipping in Norway, a global frontrunner in decarbonization of this sector, we suggest three guiding principles for developing policy mixes for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors: (1) employ technology-specific policies but aim at broad sectoral or general policies when suitable, (2) consider value chain interdependency and user segment heterogeneity when prioritizing technologies and user segments, and (3) translate (rather than transfer) successful policies to other settings (e.g. user segments).

  Facing increasing pressure to decarbonize, innovation within the shipping sector has turned to low-and zero carbon solutions. In this paper we investigate how the development and implementation of biodiesel and liquefied biogas (LBG) in Norwegian coastal shipping has been influenced by the technological alignment with fossil fuels. We understand this influence to emanate from the (mis)match of biofuels with the structure of coastal shipping (e.g. infrastructure, knowledge, institutions, actors) which has been shaped by fossil fuels. This way we contribute to the development of Technological Innovation Systems (TIS) framework by discussing the effect of sectoral cross-technology externalities on the functionality of a TIS. Our core data consists of semi-structured interviews, supported by a firm survey with Norwegian shipowners. Our results show that the technological alignment provides the biodiesel and LBG TISs with several benefits, such as access to established markets and infrastructure, which suggests that Norway to some extent has good conditions for maritime biofuel markets to form. However, two major barriers for implementation of biofuels are fuel availability and cost. Considering the competition with battery-electric and hydrogen solutions, the positive externalities of the interchangeability between fossil and biofuels are insufficient to make biodiesel and LBG competitive contenders for coastal shipping. In order to upscale implementation of biofuels in the Norwegian coastal shipping sector, which is needed to reach national and international emission targets, there is a need for strengthened policy interventions. To establish market formation, subsidies for biofuels and feed-in targets would be crucial policy instruments.

  Building on the chapter “Businesses and industries in sustainability transitions” in the STRN agenda, this viewpoint calls for more attention to how economic and environmental goals can be aligned to enhance the political legitimacy of transitions. This requires, we suggest, a more integrated understanding of the relationship between industrial transformation and sustainability transitions. We provide a tentative articulation of such a perspective by recombining insights from the fields of Industrial Dynamics and Transition Studies. We point to three issues that can serve as starting points for developing such a perspective and argue why those merit more attention in transition studies. These include: (a) attention to the diversity of sectors and firms involved in, and affected by, transitions through inter-sectoral linkages, (b) how existing knowledge bases influence the direction and scope of transitions, and (c) policy challenges associated with parallel transitions in multiple sectors that constitute economy-wide processes of structural change.

  It has been recently argued that the vast resources of established firms can potentially accelerate sustainability transitions. This paper contributes to the study of such possibilities by investigating the resource redeployment of three Norwegian oil and gas industry firms in corporate ventures in floating wind power technologies. Using interview and document data, the findings show that the opportunity to use existing firm resources was a key motivation for established firms to engage in entrepreneurship in such technologies. The firms could redeploy their specialised and general-purpose resources in these entrepreneurial ventures, and develop new technologies on the basis of their existing resources. However, also challenges and controversies were observed. This paper thus suggests that the process of resource redeployment can help to explain why, and describe how, established firms may engage in cleantech innovation through corporate entrepreneurship.

  As energy transitions are moving from the formative phase of technology development and R&D to the acceleration or growth phase issues related to resource formation increase in importance. However, our understanding of resource formation processes to scale up new technologies has several gaps, perhaps reflecting that it is only recently that renewables such as solar PV and wind power have seen strong global growth. In this paper we address a type of resource formation that has received limited attention in the sustainability transitions literature to date: the development of industrial capacity to manufacture key components and deliver crucial services for renewable energy technologies to perform. Such upstream value chain elements are central to renewable energy cost reductions and political legitimacy because they provide new job and value creation opportunities for different regions and countries. Empirically we study the build-up of industrial capacity across European countries to supply the Northern European offshore wind market in the 2000-2019 period. We also develop aggregate industrial capacity scores at the country level, identifying both industry 'losers' and 'winners'. We provide explanations to the observed patterns by drawing on the sustainability and economic geography literatures.

Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  This viewpoint identifies three interrelated transition imperatives to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 – increasing the speed, scope and level of decarbonization. First, the urgency of climate action places temporality and radically accelerated sociotechnical change at the heart of the net zero 2050 challenge. Second, the net-zero challenge implies a broadening of decarbonization efforts from the usual focus on electricity and transport to all sectors of the economy and a need for thinking across multiple sectors. Third, increasing levels of decarbonization necessitates widespread and rapid diffusion of low-carbon solutions with limited time for experimentation and deliberation. Interactions between these imperatives create research challenges related to time frame tensions, tipping points, sector couplings, multi-sector technologies and massive upscaling.

  This research note summarizes the User Case 3 in FME NTRANS which has explored solutions to the so-called 'chicken and egg' problem in maritime hydrogen value chains, focusing on Western Norway. Based on three workshops and review of documents, the user case proposes six solutions to this problem: stronger support for both early-movers and hydrogen infrastructure, simultaneous development of supply and demand of hydrogen in local projects, establishment of hydrogen hubs, strong state leadership, and the acknowledgement of hydrogen innovation's complexity in policymaking. These perspectives complement the Norwegian government's hydrogen roadmap by highlighting especially the systemic and uncertain nature of hydrogen innovation, and the importance of state leadership.

  The shipping sector’s rising greenhouse gas emissions are often considered "hard-toabate", and ship-owners play an important role in emissions reduction. Some of them have recently adopted or started to consider the adoption of green fuels, but systematic studies of such adoption practices are still lacking. We address this gap by studying how ship-owners differ in both actual and intended adoption of green fuels. We analyze data from a unique survey with 281 ship-owners in Norway, a major ship-owning country and center for maritime technology development, with descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. We find lead adopters among large and established ship-owners in offshore, international cargo and domestic passenger shipping segments, which are often subjected to specific contractual demands for green fuel adoption. Laggards were typically small and young ship-owners operating in shipping segments where demands for green fuel adoption are weak. Our findings also suggest that firms' business strategy and financial and knowledge resources may have relevance for ship-owner’s adoption of green fuels. Our study has implications for national and international policymaking, highlighting for example how contracting mechanisms can be an effective tool in incentivizing the adoption of green fuels.

  Sectoral interdependencies of low-carbon technologies arguably become increasingly important as sustainability transitions accelerate. Nevertheless, few conceptual and empirical studies examine how the formation of interdependencies with various sectors, providing key inputs or applications within and across value chains of low-carbon technologies, affect acceleration. We provide novel insights on these topics by developing a multi-sectoral and multi-technological perspective on low-carbon innovation. Empirically, we apply the framework to Norwegian coastal shipping, and study how sectoral interdependencies across the value chains (raw materials, production, distribution and use) of battery-electric, hydrogen and liquefied biogas technologies affect innovation in these technologies in the formation and acceleration phases. We find the implications of interdependencies for acceleration to depend on sector characteristics. Low user sector adaptability (e.g. due to sunk costs), and interdependencies with input sectors with low scalability, constituted negative feedbacks for hydrogen and liquified biogas technologies. Meanwhile, battery-electric vessels' interdependencies with scalable input sectors created positive feedback loops, supporting acceleration. We conclude by noting that to foster acceleration, transition research and policy may need to address the sectoral interdependencies of low-carbon technologies already in the early phase of innovations.

  This report is an output from the INTRANSIT Research Centre on Innovation Policy for Industrial Transformation, Sustainability and Digitalisation. The report presents an analysis of green and digital transformations in five Norwegian industrial sectors: oil and gas, maritime, aquaculture, manufacturing and process industries. By drawing on perspectives from innovation and sustainability transition studies, we analyse how the industrial sectors respond to green and digital pressures as well as opportunities. Our results show that while a green transformation is gathering momentum in the maritime sector, little radical change has yet taken place in various other sectors. Meanwhile, the thrust driving digitalization is often connected to increasing cost-efficiency and competitiveness in global markets. However, in the aquaculture sector, digital technologies are often applied to solve environmental and fish health issues. Green and digital transformations in industrial sectors may thus have points of interaction, leading to complementary, but occasionally also conflicting, developments. Based on empirical findings we draw insights for green and digital transformation policy, and take note on how COVID-19 pandemic may affect such transformations.

  Recent literature in sustainability transition studies has suggested that established industries may provide resources for innovation in low-carbon technologies. This literature, however, has this far not explained why such resource redeployment takes place. Literature in evolutionary economic geography and management studies, however, have discussed such interactions through the notion of relatedness as an underlying factor. Drawing on these literatures we develop an integrated framework for the analysis of multidimensional relatedness between innovation systems in the context of sustainability transitions. Using semi-structured interviews, we study the technological, institutional and network relatedness between the oil and gas industry and the offshore wind power technology in Norway. Our results show that despite the high relatedness in offshore technologies, low relatedness in terms of institutions has challenged the resource redeployment from the Norwegian oil and gas industry to offshore wind power. We thus suggest that relatedness, understood in multiple structural dimensions, can help to understand why resource redeployment from established industries to technological innovation systems may, or may not, take place.
