• Publication 1 September 2021 How Is Social Acceptance Reflected in National Renewable Energy Plans? Evidence from Three Wind-Rich Countries This article contributes to discussions of the social acceptance of renewable energy (RE) by developing an analytical framework that considers three dimensions (community, market, and political-regulator) at three different scales (macro, meso, and micro). This framework is conceived in order to identify those dynamics that are potentially counterproductive to the energy transition and need further policy emphasis, as well as supporting those that demonstrate a positive impact. Using this…
• Project 30 August 2021 Strengthening Danish participation in the ISGAN Annex 7 - Smart Grid Transitions ISGAN Annex 7 - Smart Grid Transitions is a work programme of the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN), a Technology Collaboration Programme of the International Energy Agency. The aim of ISGAN Annex 7 is to investigate institutional change associated with smart grid deployment. It uses the framework of transition management to spark off an international, trans-disciplinary research activity in the social sciences supporting policymakers in the field of Smart Grids by focusing on the…

• Publication 25 August 2021 Evolution of the minimum mortality temperature (1983–2018): Is Spain adapting to heat? The objective of this study was to analyze at the level of Spain’s 52 provinces province level the temporal evolution of minimum mortality temperatures (MMT) from 1983 to 2018, in order to determine whether the increase in MMT would be sufficient to compensate for the increase in environmental temperatures in Spain for the period. It also aimed to analyze whether the rate of evolution of MMT would be sufficient, were it to remain constant, to compensate for the predicted increase in…
• Podcast 23 August 2021 Sustainable ICT development and the role of ITU - DigiGreen EP.1 Problem: Information and communication technologies (ICTs) could help address climate concerns and enable the much-needed shift toward a circular economy (CE). But ICTs also contribute to global carbon emissions and generate waste in their production, usage and eventual obsolescence. What type of collaborations do we need to address sustainable ICT development? Key message: Actions on climate change and digitalization should influence each other at the strategic level. Digitalization should…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Measures for the Diffusion of Solar PV are Aligned in Technology Action Plans for Six Countries in Africa Recently, development projects have provided support to governments to facilitate technology transfer for climate change adaptation and mitigation. These include the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). In the TNA project, which was implemented in ten African countries from 2010 to 2013, dedicated government committees have prioritized climate change mitigation technologies and developed action plans for the diffusion of the selected technologies…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Development of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia: niche development and the formation of innovative capabilities The objective of this thesis is to contribute to advance further the emerging research agenda on the transfer and diffusion of low-carbon technologies in developing countries by adopting a study of the development of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia. The main research question addresses the main factors influencing the transfer and diffusion of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia.
