The starting point is that the current energy system largely depends on fossil fuels. This
phenomenon, which is labelled as carbon lock-in, causes a long breakthrough period for …

Modern societies are encountering environmental and political problems in the sphere of
energy supply. One way to deal with this is to support the development of sustainable …

Sustainable energy technologies develop within the context of systems made up by
networks of actors, institutions and (related) technologies. These Technological Innovation …

Since the 1970s research on energy conversion technologies, such as biomass digestion,
has been carried out in the Netherlands. However, after 30 years biomass digestion has not …

Throughout this book, we argue the case for a systemic perspective on energy technology
innovation. We set out an analytical framework with all the key elements of the energy …

In recent studies of sustainability transitions, the technological innovation system (TIS)
perspective is one of two dominant perspectives (Markard and Truffer, 2008). Since its …

We examine the view that the success of emerging technologies may be understood using a
technological innovation systems analysis, drawing on a system functions approach. This is …

Previous research has shown that formal networks can play a crucial role in the formation of
technological innovation systems (TIS). Firms and other actors collaborate in formal …

Abstract The framework of Technological Innovation Systems (TIS) has developed into one
of the salient conceptual building blocks of sustainability transitions research over the past …

Currently there is no formal model describing the dynamics of technological innovation
systems. This paper develops a system dynamics model that integrates the concept of …
