(Un)usual advocacy coalitions in a multi-system setting: the case of hydrogen in Germany

Policy Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 57(3), P. 567 - 597

Abstract Grand sustainability challenges span multiple sectors and fields of policymaking. Novel technologies that respond to these may trigger the emergence new policy subsystems at intersection established sectors. We develop a framework addresses complexities ‘multi-system settings.’ Empirically, we explore belief coalition formation in nascent subsystem around hydrogen Germany, which emerges electricity, transport, heating, industry is characterised by broad range actors from different sectoral backgrounds. find two coalitions: rather unusual industry, NGOs, research institutes as well an expectable gas heat sector actors. Actors disagree over production, application, import standards for hydrogen. However, there widespread support strong role state across almost all explain our findings combining insights advocacy politics transitions: Belief are influenced backgrounds actors, technology characteristics, trust former contacts. Our study contributes better understanding early stages multi-system setting.

The system building perspective for building sustainable system configurations using the German energy transition as an example

Oxford Open Energy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 3

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Abstract An increasing number of countries employ net-zero decarbonization targets in their climate policies, which requires decarbonizing socio-technical systems like the energy system by mid-century. While there is a high level agreement about targets, remains great uncertainty as to how meet them. At same time, challenges building new that fulfils systemic such are insufficiently reflected on sustainability transitions literature. With help literature review theories transitions, this paper introduces dimensions account for difficulties transitions. We identify four dimensions: (1) competing potential configurations with different implications; (2) broad range complementary elements needed; (3) lock-ins and path dependencies process; (4) politics building. offer German transition an empirical case study illustrate relevance these dimensions.
