THE POLITICS OF LOW-CARBON INNOVATION - PER OVE...

Although technological innovation is undoubtedly crucial for addressing climate change 
low-carbon innovation policies and politics have hardly been studied. This book clearly reveals
the promises and pitfalls of European efforts in this field - recommended reading!-Sebastian
Oberthür  Institute for European Studies  Belguim This compact volume effectively addresses a
surprisingly unknown territory in an otherwise well-explored landscape. In doing so  it will
provide a useful resource to all who follow the uneven progress of climate and energy policy in
the EU context  as well as those who are interested in policies to stimulate technology
development more broadly. -Tim Rayner  Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research  University
of East Anglia  UK The EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) was aimed at accelerating
low-carbon innovation by raising  coordinating and concentrating resources to certain
low-carbon technologies. At the ten-year anniversary of the SET-Plan  this book examines why it
was adopted and what it has achieved. Using an analytical framework developed to capture the
'politics of innovation'  the authors trace the history of the Plan from initiation to
implementation  and then explain its development as seen from the perspectives of the EU
institutions  member-states  industry  the research community and international technology
markets. The concluding chapter discusses lessons and prospects for European low-carbon
innovation towards 2030 and beyond. This new work fills a void in the literature on EU climate
and energy policies  and will appeal to scholars  students and practitioners in these fields.
