The Sussex Energy Group (SEG) is delighted to announce that this year’s SEG Keynote Lecture will be given by Professor Laura Diaz Anadon.
Energy technologies are experiencing a period of rapid change. This change is helping society rise to meet the climate challenge and also spurring research within a wide range of related disciplines.
In addition to technological change, we now have increasing experience of climate harms and better knowledge of the co-benefits of climate action. We are also experiencing the rise of social movements calling for a low carbon future. Together, these factors have combined to create the current momentum behind industrial policies for a green recovery.
But how, and to what extent, do different policies incentivise energy technology innovation and competitiveness for a just energy transition?
In this talk Prof Anadon will share key insights from research addressing this question. She will explore trade-offs across goals in policy design and the need to analyse technological change along the supply chain. She will also examine the role of emerging economies, the importance of technology characteristics, and approaches to uncertainty.
