Orchestrating place-based micro-missions: The grand challenge of decarbonisation at Shoreham Port
Climate change has led governments to adopt mission-oriented policies targeting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Heavy industry accounts for almost one-sixth of global emissions, making industrial decarbonisation central to this agenda. Though emissions impacts are global, decarbonisation unfolds locally. Yet how place-based micro-missions – small-scale experimental initiatives targeting concrete, localised challenges – are orchestrated in prac…
A critical meta-survey of the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of hydrogen energy systems
Hydrogen energy systems are central to decarbonization strategies, yet their full climatic footprint remains contested. Lifecycle assessments reveal significant variability influenced by feedstock choices, energy inputs, and production processes. This paper conducts a meta-survey to examine assumptions behind varying estimations and identify improvement areas. We analyzed 653 academic studies, applying rigorous exclusion criteria to extract 906 e…

Beyond industrial decarbonisation strategy: Lessons from the bottom-up policy mix in the United Kingdom, 2021–2023
Industrial decarbonisation (ID) is a new challenge in the transition to net zero. The ID challenge is complicated because it covers a wide range of industries and processes, and therefore a policy mix approach is appropriate. Because of multiple interactions with existing areas of regulation, the bottom-up policy mix, as defined by Ossenbrink et al. (2019), is likely to be particularly important for the successful implementation of ID policy. In …
The industrial decarbonization paradigm: Carbon lock-in or path renewal in the United Kingdom
Biden's climate agenda: The most ambitious ever, or overlooking key technological bottlenecks
The White House claims that Biden's Climate Agenda is “the most ambitious ever.” While the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Jobs Act (IJA) indeed do earmark billions of dollars for clean energy technologies, they also direct substantial sums of public money to conventional energy and fossil fuels. In comparison, energy storage technologies and projects—which are critical to renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles—a…
Reinventing the global oil capital: The sociotechnical dynamics of industrial net-zero megaprojects in Texas
Texas, the “energy capital of the world,” is undergoing a widescale technological transition in response to recent climate policies in the United States. There is immense potential for industrial decarbonization in Texas—which already has extensive experience with carbon capture and enhanced oil recovery—and thousands of miles of hydrogen and CO2 transport pipelines. Successful reorientation of its industry towards net-zero could provide a bluepr…
Applying the multi-level perspective to climate geoengineering: Sociotechnical bottlenecks for negative emissions and cloud seeding technologies
Carbon dioxide removal and negative emissions technologies, such as bioenergy with carbon capture (BECCS) and direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS), may have an important role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Cloud seeding (CS), a controversial form of weather modification, might also help to reduce the severity and intensity of storms and address widespread drought from climate change. Nevertheless, costs, technical …
Intermediaries and complexity: Assessing emissions-based governance in the European Union’s EU-ETS
Scientists have specified that, by the year 2030, aggregate global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must be halved to have at least a 67% chance of meeting the Paris Agreement. A key challenge is the governance of GHGs. This article investigates the evolution of the EU’s Emissions Trading System using the Regulatory–Intermediary–Target (RIT) framework. Specifically, we outline the role of “emissions governance” intermediaries to monitor, report, an…
Doomed to fail? A call to reform global climate governance and greenhouse gas inventories
Commitments to emissions reductions following the landmark Paris Climate Change Agreement have proliferated. Though it is promising that 145 countries have declared a net-zero emissions target, with 33 enshrining this goal into law, comparison of country-level emissions inventories can only be effectively carried out with uniform and consistent data. The extent to which greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory comparison is possible, and the ancillary clim…
Oh Yes! Net-Zero: Sociotechnical capabilities and regional innovation systems for British industrial decarbonization
A critical review of green growth indicators in G7 economies from 1990 to 2019
Green growth policies aim to address both climate change and economic growth and are now prevalent throughout many economies. While green growth is sufficiently assessed in qualitative, case-study-based literature, quantitative and cross-country analyses are still limited. In response to this research deficit, our aim is twofold: (1) to develop a classification framework to quantitatively analyse green growth and (2) to identify key policy inputs…
Market Masquerades? Corporate Climate Initiative Effects on Firm-Level Climate Performance
Climate performance in publicly traded companies has become an important focus for climate action. Non–state actor–led initiatives have emerged as influential governors in this arena, intended to plug gaps in public climate change regulation. This article addresses the key question, are such non–state led climate initiatives exerting a positive influence on corporate climate performance? To answer this question, we empirically evaluate the effect…
Channeled through trade: How foreign environmental regulations induce domestic renewable energy innovation
Green growth and innovation in the Global South: A systematic literature review
There has been much interest in green growth and innovation in recent years. The main idea is that domestic green growth policies can provide 'win-wins' to both the environment and the economy. But we still know very little about the impact of such policies, especially in developing countries—the 'Global South.' The literature remains underdeveloped. This is disappointing since the Global South could leverage green growth policies to enhance comp…
