Exploring technology paths: The development of alternative transport fuels in Sweden 2005-2020 (2008, background): “It has been argued that the long time scale could allow for a premature lock-in of technological trajectories (or ‘dead-end technologies’) that look promising in the short term but are constrained in some dimensions prohibiting it from solving the problem in a more fundamental way in the longer term”
Meeting global temperature targets—the role of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (2013, background): “Finally, to reach global negative emissions, other zero-carbon technologies need to be developed, nurtured to maturity by learning-by-doing in the marketplace and deployed at a very large scale [32].”
Carbon Capture and Storage From Fossil Fuels and Biomass – Costs and Potential Role in Stabilizing the Atmosphere (2006, background): “It is beyond the scope to describe in detail these kinds of policy instruments (see Sterner, 2002; Sand´en and Azar, 2005).”
The Effect of Local and Global Learning on the Cost of Renewable Energy in Developing Countries (2016, background): “Improved technological capabilities hold the promise of removing barriers to the diffusion of clean technologies, thereby facilitating further emission reductions in the future (Sandén and Azar, 2005).”
The impact of environmental policy instruments on innovation: A review of energy and automotive industry studies (2014, background): “On the basis and early stages of diffusion of technologies that are not yet fully developed, but it does not include widespread deployment of already available and commodity-like “off-the shelf” technologies (cf. Bergquist et al., 2013; Sandén and Azar, 2005).”
What Should We Expect from Innovation? A Model-Based Assessment of the Environmental and Mitigation Cost Implications of Climate-Related R&D (2010, background): “…and/or to minimise mitigation costs, because such an approach would provide no direct incentives for the adoption of new technologies and, by focusing on the long term, would miss near-term opportunities for cost-effective emissions reductions (Philibert, 2003; Sandén and Azar, 2005; Fischer 2008).”
Carbon Lock-Out: Advancing Renewable Energy Policy in Europe (2012, background): “technologies, stricter emission reduction targets may be considered impossible to meet by government, industry and the general public [12].”
Mobilizing private finance for low-carbon innovation – A systematic review of barriers and solutions (2017, neutral): “Many clean technologies depend on energy savings which are foiled by artificially low energy prices due to subsidies for fossil-fuels [17,69,75,80,119].”
Mitigation from a cross-sectoral perspective (2007, neutral): “Seifritz (1989), Teller et al.”
Public policy influence on renewable energy investments—A panel data study across OECD countries (2015, background): “Path dependencies are particularly high in heavily regulated sectors such as energy, and need special attention from the responsible policy makers (Brown, 2001; Mowery et al., 2010; Sandén and Azar, 2005).”
