Barriers to energy efficiency in shipping: A triangulated approach to investigate the principal agent problem (2015, background): “They define barriers as postulated mechanisms that inhibit investment in technologies which are both energy efficient and economically efficient (Sorrel et al., 2004).”
Assessing the Energy-Efficiency Gap (2017, background): “Survey respondents also cite lack of time as a barrier, highlighting the role of opportunity cost in simply considering investments (Sorrell et al. 2004; Thollander, Danestig, and Rohdin 2007; Schleich 2009; Trianni and Cagno 2012).”
Barriers to and driving forces for industrial energy efficiency improvements in African industries – a case study of Ghana's largest industrial area (2013, background): “In this context, a barrier can be defined as a postulated mechanism that inhibits investments in technologies that are both energy-efficient and (apparently) economically efficient (Sorrell et al., 2004; Rohdin and Thollander, 2006; SPRU, 2000).”
Investing in low-carbon transitions: energy finance as an adaptive market (2017, background): “…established literatures exist on the effects of both first- (behavioural and organisational) and second- (neoclassical/welfare) domain theories on financial markets in the energy transition, but there is a gap in the literature on third-domain (evolutionary and institutional) treatments of…”
Reducing industrial energy demand in the UK: A review of energy efficiency technologies and energy saving potential in selected sectors (2018, background): “Taking a whole systems perspective, this paper does not focus on the narrow, single view of the individual categories and areas of the various barriers and drivers [184,186,187,192].”
Making the implicit explicit: A look inside the implicit discount rate (2016, background): “Some barrier taxonomies also include “hidden costs” as a barrier (e.g. Sorrell et al., 2004), arguing that these additional costs of EET adoption are hidden to the observer, but not to the decision maker.”
The diffusion of microgeneration technologies – assessing the influence of perceived product characteristics on home owners' willingness to pay (2011, background): “The predominant policy support mechanism is simply to reduce costs for consumers via grants, subsidies or tax incentives (Sorrell et al., 2004).”
Reducing energy demand: A review of issues, challenges and approaches (2015, background): “The dominant question then becomes ‘why are these opportunities not being taken up?’—with the dominant answer being ‘there are multiple, overlapping non-price barriers to improved energy efficiency’ [51].”
The Green Deal and the Energy Company Obligation (2012, unknown): “There is an extensive literature on the barriers to energy efficiency (Brown, 2001; Eyre, 1997; Hirst and Brown, 1990; Jaffe and Stavins, 1994; Sanstad and Howarth, 1994; Sorrell et al., 2004; Tietenberg, 2009; Weber, 1997).”
An interdisciplinary perspective on industrial energy efficiency (2010, background): “Perspectives on barriers (based on [4]).”
The impact of increased efficiency in the industrial use of energy: A computable general equilibrium analysis for the United Kingdom (2007, background): “However in the specific case of energy efficiency, there is a significant and growing literature that focuses on barriers to the adoption of the most efficient energy technologies (Sorrell et al, 2004).”
