Note publique d'information : This book elucidates what it means to transition to alternative sources of energy
and discusses the potential for this energy transition to be a more democratic process.
The book dynamically describes a recent sociotechnical study of a number of energy
transitions occurring in several countries - France, Germany and Tunisia, and involving
different energy technologies - including solar, on/off-shore wind, smart grids, biomass,
low-energy buildings, and carbon capture and storage. Drawing on a pragmatist tradition
of social inquiry, the authors examine the consequences of energy transition processes
for the actors and entities that are affected by them, as well as the spaces for political
participation they offer. This critical inquiry is organised according to foundational
categories that have defined the energy transition - ‘renewable’ energy resources,
markets, economic instruments, technological demonstration, spatiality (‘scale’) and
temporality (‘horizon(s)’). Using a set of select case studies, this book systematically
investigates the role these categories play in the current developments in energy
transitions
