Hovedinnhold

Meeting the Paris Agreement requires rapid transformations of energy supply and demand, supported by a range of emerging climate change mitigation technologies – offshore wind, electrolysers, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and negative emission technologies (NET). Yet the immaturity of these technologies invokes debates about their feasibility and potential to be ‘on-track’ and ‘on-time’ for climate targets. When and to what extent can their deployment be scaled up and accelerated given today’s low market penetration levels?

This PhD project aims to advance the understanding of the feasibility of deploying emerging technologies to meet climate targets by building on methods of using empirical evidence of past transitions.
