The role of engineering advice in policy making: The case of energy policy in the UK
Engineers have a crucial role to play in tackling the grand challenges faced by our societies, for example innovations in energy production to mitigate against climate change. Despite this crucial role, there is a paucity of academic work on engineering advice for policy makers. This article examines the three existing works on engineering advice and two adjacent areas of research – Engineering Studies and policy making in the UK government – to …
Modelling governance for a successful electricity sector decarbonisation
Early and deep electricity decarbonisation is critical to achieve the overall energy transition target of net-zero emissions by 2050. This paper extends an electricity agent based model to capture the inter-dependence of consistent governance with underpinning societal pressure and resultant investment strategies. Results show only with the strongest level of governance – reflected in the range of national/local policy mechanisms used, and their …
Incorporating social mechanisms in energy decarbonisation modelling
The achievement of national pledges that are compatible with the Paris Agreements warming limit of 1.5C is a massive challenge, as it requires not only an acceleration of technological innovation, but also a socio-economic and cultural transformation. Reducing uncertainties demands a better integration of behavioural evolutions in models exploring future energy pathways, including non-monetary barriers and drivers to technology diffusion. This st…
The co-evolution of climate policy and investments in electricity markets: Simulating agent dynamics in UK, German and Italian electricity sectors
A deep dive into the modelling assumptions for biomass with carbon capture and storage (BECCS): A transparency exercise
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is envisaged as a critical element of most deep decarbonisation pathways compatible with the Paris Agreement. Such a transformational upscaling—to 3–7 Gt CO 2 /yr by 2050—requires an unprecedented technological, economic, socio-cultural and political effort, along with, crucially, transparent communication between all stakeholders. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that underpin the 1.5 °C scena…
