Description

The transition towards sustainable energy systems requires innovation and the diffusion of new technologies that are socially and economically acceptable. This module explores different theoretical perspectives on the process of energy innovation and technology development, and examines real-world case studies to bring these ideas to life. The module emphasises a policy perspective, examining the rationales behind energy research and innovation policies, and the practical challenges that governments face in fostering the development of new technologies. The aim of this module is to make students familiar with the major issues of the economics of technological change and innovation, and strategic technology policy and management with special reference to energy and environment.
