How can we understand accelerating system transitions when security of supply, affordability & competitiveness move centre stage? We argue transitions are increasingly pursued through industrial transformation, involving coordinated change across multiple sectors & interdependent value chains.

How can we make sense of the low-carbon electrification wave transforming economies? Last week, at the yearly FME NTRANS (Norwegian Centre for Energy Transition Strategies) conference in Oslo, I shared my take.

Great to be part of this!

How to accelerate sustainability transitions is one of the most important questions of our time. Our new paper led by Benjamin Sovacool and Frank Geels, takes stock of what we know about acceleration as a phenomenon, and points to future research needs. shorturl.at/w93oL

The acceleration of low-carbon transitions: Insights, concepts, challenges, and new directions for research

Given that several low-carbon transitions are now accelerating, what can we say about the drivers, conditions, mechanisms, and dynamics of acceleratio…

Pre-announcement of up to 4 postdocs on agrifood and land use transitions. We will soon open for postdoc applications at UCPH for an upcoming project. Keywords: policies, technologies, scenarios for European agrifood and land use transitions. Short deadline, so feel free to reach out already now.

What happens when techno-optimism meets energy system realism? My latest for @BloombergNEF is a long read on AI, called The Power and the Glory. So that's Boxing Day sorted! about.bnef.com/blog/liebrei...

This year will go down in history as the year the energy sector woke up to AI. This is also the year AI woke up to energy. Is the data center power frenzy just the latest of a long line of energy sect...
