Getting profitable CCU off the ground: Contingent pathways and Bergen Carbon Solutions
Sareen, Siddharth; Sagmo, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) gains policy traction and pilot project funding, CCS usually gets the limelight, whereas CCU is often overlooked. CCU, if feasible, has two potential advantages: it obviates ... -
Global sustainability, innovation and governance dynamics of national smart electricity meter transitions
Sovacool, Benjamin K.; Hook, Andrew; Sareen, Siddharth; Geels, Frank W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Smart electricity meters are a central feature of any future smart grid, and therefore represent a rapid and significant household energy transition, growing by our calculations from less than 23.5 million smart meters in ... -
Legitimating power: Solar energy rollout, sustainability metrics and transition politics
Sareen, Siddharth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Increasing recognition of the irrefutable urgency to address the global climate challenge is driving mitigation efforts to decarbonise. Countries are setting targets, technological innovation is making renewable energy ... -

The profound implications of energy poverty ... -
A matter of time: Explicating temporality in science and technology studies and Bergen's car-free zone development
Sareen, Siddharth; Remme, Devyn; Wågsæther, Katinka; Haarstad, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-08)In their article on ‘sociotechnical matters’, Hess and Sovacool (2020) draw on extant STS scholarship to unpack ‘the black box’ of sociotechnical contributions to social science studies of energy. Notably absent in their ... -
Multiscalar Practices of Fossil Fuel Displacement
Sareen, Siddharth; Grandin, Jakob Olof; Haarstad, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)As renewable energy sources increasingly outcompete fossil fuels on cost and efficiency, novel questions arise around how, when, and where renewables can displace fossil energy. We need to understand fossil fuel displacement ... -
Navigating implementation dilemmas in technology- forcing policies: A comparative analysis of accelerated smart meter diffusion in the Netherlands, UK, Norway, and Portugal
Geels, Frank W.; Sareen, Siddharth; Hook, Andrew; Sovacool, Benjamin K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper addresses the implementation of technology-forcing policies in open-ended diffusion processes that involve companies and regulators as well as consumers and civil society actors. Mobilising insights from the ... -
New municipalism and the governance of urban transitions to sustainability
Sareen, Siddharth; Wågsæther, Katinka Lund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cities play increasingly recognised roles in global climate change responses: as change laboratories, spaces of opportunity, and as administrative and economic hubs that concentrate human and financial resources and needs. ... -
The pandemic as a rupture that follows rules: Comparing governance responses in India, USA, Sweden and Norway
Sareen, Siddharth; Nielsen, Kenneth Bo; Oskarsson, Patrik; Remme, Devyn Helen Avhild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)How a country responds to a rupture such as the COVID-19 pandemic can be revelatory of its governance. Governance entails not only the exercise but also the constitution of authority. The pandemic response thus presents a ... -
Scalar biases in solar photovoltaic uptake : Socio-materiality regulatory inertia and politics
Sareen, Siddharth (Chapter, 2021)Solar photovoltaic (PV) rollout constitutes a rapid global energy transition. Driven by cost reductions, the technology supports climate mitigation in regions with high energy development levels like Europe and new energy ... -
Scales of energy justice: Solar power and energy poverty alleviation
Nordholm, Amber Joy; Sareen, Siddharth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03)The threats climate change poses require rapid and wide decarbonization efforts in the energy sector.
