Abstract We examine the problem of how to accelerate policies related electric vehicles (EVs) in Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. These four represent an interesting collection cases by virtue having common decarbonization targets extending transport sector, interlinked energy systems a joint electricity market largely based on low-carbon while they are open societies bent innovation, making them well adaptable transition toward mobility. Our analytical framework drawing...
We compare Russian nuclear energy diplomacy toward Finland and Hungary, where the state corporation Rosatom intends to build power plants by 2020s. features working with other institutions, its own subsidiaries, an extensive network of companies R&D actors support projects abroad. Using structuration approach, we find three interests driving such diplomacy: business associated profits; modernization economy, including diversification export structure; while foreign policy are also involved,...
In this article, we examine Russia's geo-economy under the economic sanctions imposed by EU, USA and many other states since spring 2014, including restrictions on cooperation in areas such as trade, certain types of energy technology, access to credit, trade arms, travel bans asset freezing. We first geopolitical interests cognitive frames Russian policymakers use weigh these diverse against each other. Second, how can further given effect geo-economy. analyse constraints opportunities...
Fossil fuel combustion should be decreased in future years order to lower the CO2 emissions of energy production. The reduction can achieved by increasing amount CO2-neutral fuels Here 6–13% coal was substituted with industrial or roasted pellets a pulverized fuel-fired power plant without making any changes grinding low-NOx burners. effect pellet addition for flue gas particles studied direct sampling from boiler super heater area. Based on primary dilution ratio tests, transmission...
Electrification is a frequently discussed solution for reducing transport related carbon dioxide emissions. However, sectors such as aviation and heavy-duty vehicles remain dependent on on-board fuels. Here, biomethane still little exploited solution, the case of particularly underappreciated despite recent technical advances potentially notable emission reductions. This paper discusses potential in road Finland, where utilization rate low compared to potential. To this end, production...
Abstract This article explores energy security and integration within the E uropean U nion (EU) in case of natural gas. It theorizes underlying institutional dynamics by drawing upon nglish School as to how more deep‐seated informal institutions condition policy‐making EU Member States well operations transnational actors such companies. The institution sovereignty constrains push market towards a convergent type integration. Together with bilateral diplomacy great power management...
The European Commission launched the "Smart Borders" policy process in 2011 to enhance border security Union (EU) using technologisation and harmonisation. This includes use of automated control (ABC) systems. Member States crucially shape process, weighing technologies costs, privacy rights, further institutional choices. We examine views political stakeholders four by conducting a systematic empirical comparative study unprecedented existing, political-theory-inspired research. In our Q...
Climate change and global economic pressures are strong drivers for energy economies to transition towards climate-neutrality, low-carbon economy better resource efficiencies. The response these pressures, namely the increased use of renewable energy, creates a set new challenges related supply-demand balance policy electricity system planning. This study analyses emergent problems resulting from response. These complex aspects in analysed with cross-impact model based on an expert-driven...
This essay examines the modernisation of Russian energy sector as revealed in case Arctic offshore oil. The actors involved have various interests but their simultaneous realisation is impeded by structural constraints within policy environment oil projects. Russia's foreign choices vis-à-vis Ukraine, leading to sanctions targeting projects, and global market developments amplify on resource geographical, financial, institutional ecological dimensions or structure. delays hampers industry's...
This article enters the recent debate on decline in features of international society within current system by looking at case Russia; a that has, to date, received little attention. Russia is considered one great powers. It also characterised long-standing quest for membership society. In addition, merits closer attention as result its strategic partnership with EU. The EU offers access regional-level societies thicker set institutions than are available relations United States and Asia....
To reach the 2030 decarbonization targets, EU Member States develop national strategies. We examine views of key stakeholders in Finland to outline how those responsible for developing, steering and implementing energy system assess various solutions. The Finnish choices are interest owing mixture assets, constraints path-dependencies shaping them. Our Q methodological analysis uncovers three main views: international competition smart solutions; active consumers; competitiveness local...
Climate change is putting pressure on governments, policy makers and international organizations to increase energy efficiency move towards using renewable sources. To meet growing need for at the same time comply with ecologic economic demands, market structure slowly transitioning from a centralized system more interactive decentralized model based Smart Grid technology in which also end users may play role as prosumers i.e. producers consumers of energy. Different scenarios exist level...
