- Direction, legitimacy and structuration in technological innovation systems upscaling-insights from roadmaps for deepwater offshore wind energyPublication . Bento, Nuno; Fontes, MargaridaThis research investigates strategies aiming to accelerate the up-scaling of low- carbon innovations. We adopt the technological innovation systems (TIS) perspective to focus on structuration or system building processes, including key innovative activities. We analyze national roadmaps that have been developed for offshore wind energy in deep waters - more than 50 meters deep where most of the potential is expected but whose technologyis more immature . in Europe. The roadmaps analysis not only reveals how actors expect the TIS grow but also enables the understanding about the critical functions at this stage, such as direction of search and legitimacy.
- Path disturbing in the process of path development: The case of (onshore & floating offshore) wind energy in Portugal [Resumo]Publication . Santos, Hélder; Fontes, Margarida; Sá Marques, Teresa; Torres, MarceloABSTRACT: The paper addresses the “disturbing” effects that new generations of technology can introduce in the early trajectory of a regional industrial path built around wind offshore technology, focusing on the dimensions along which such disturbance occurs and the actors’ responses to them. We look at the case of the industry formed around wind energy technology. The first generation – onshore wind - drove the development of new industrial paths in some regions. The introduction of new generations (fixed & floating offshore wind) that increasingly diverge from the onshore technology, leading to significant changes in the industry concerned with their production and deployment (Van Der Loos et al., 2020). It is argued that the emergence of the new technology generations potentially produced disturbance along several dimensions (Gong & Binz, 2023) that could affect the industrial and institutional configuration of the wind energy path. The industrial development required, not only innovation activity in the existing manufacturing industry, but also the involvement of a new set of industries. The location at sea made proximity to the natural resource more pertinent, required new infrastructures, demanded regulatory changes and raised new acceptance issues (MacKinnon et al., 2019). Thus path-disturbance would occur at different assets level and actors’ agency. The paper empirically analyses the case of Portugal, which developed an onshore wind energy (Bento & Fontes, 2015) and has engaged early in the experimentation with the new generation of floating offshore wind (Castro-Santos et al., 2020).
- Transição energética, recursos naturais endógenos e trajetória de desenvolvimento económico: o caso da energia eólica offshorePublication . Santos, Hélder; Fontes, Margarida; Sá Marques, Teresa; Torres, MarceloRESUMO: As alterações climáticas aceleraram o processo de descarbonização. Esta busca pela produção de energias verdes fez (re)emergir o investimento em I&D de novas gerações de tecnologias e em novos locais de exploração. A energia eólica é um destes casos. Por um lado, em Portugal este recurso abunda, com potencial de expansão para o offshore (Bento & Fontes, 2015). Ao mesmo tempo, o país está muito dependente da importação de combustíveis fósseis, pelo que esta é uma questão de aproveitamento dos recursos endógenos e de soberania nacional. Por outro lado, a produção da energia eólica gera desenvolvimento económico. A eólica onshore possibilitou a criação duma trajetória de desenvolvimento industrial. A exploração da energia eólica offshore pode introduzir perturbações nessa trajetória estabelecida. A literatura descreve uma série de pré-condições estruturais regionais para o desenvolvimento da nova trajetória: recursos naturais; conhecimento científico e tecnológico e ativos industriais, infraestruturais e institucionais.
