| Publisher Description: This book is about the experimental introduction of bioenergy technologies in society. It investigates why some countries are more successful than others. The book draws on Strategic Niche Management (SNM) to investigate the differences between the Netherlands and Denmark. SNM is a research and policy strategy based on evolutionary theories of technological change and technology assessment approaches. It deals with experimentation in niches as a mechanism in transitions to sustainability. This research makes two contributions to SNM. First, it shows how (protected) technological niches transform into market niches. Second, it enhances SNM by integrating the dynamics of incumbent regimes in explaining the success of sustainable innovations. Strategic Niche Management for Biomass combines empirical research with recent insights from innovation studies. It is relevant for those involved in the promotion of sustainable innovations through experimentation as well as scholars interested in bioenergy technologies and renewable energy in general. This may include a broad audience such as policy makers, scientists, corporate managers, and environmentalists. |
