The background for this paper was a wish to extend the understanding of how sustainable transitions in sociotechnical systems come about, especially the characteristics of processes and the role of actors. The empirical context was the case of developing biogas production and improving transport in the Trondheim region in Norway. The case consisted of two connected units; establishment of a biogas plant (production side) and development of a sustainable public transport system (use side). As a template for the analysis, the Multilevel Perspective (MLP) on sociotechnical transitions was applied. The core in this perspective is the (sociotechnical) regime level, where changes have to occur in order for sustainable transitions to take place. Central at the regime level is the interaction between actors, technologies and institutions. Transitions can take place if actors experience threats from the external world and have access to niche innovations. Analysis of the case showed that the development first went through a transformation phase (ca. 1990-2009) where R&D actors developed basic technical innovations. In the next phase (2009-2019) there was a reconfiguration process were politicians and market actors engaged. Over the years, this process resulted in significant sustainability outcomes (increased production of biogas and exchange of fossil for biofuels in transport). Three major lessons can be drawn: 1) the crucial role of leadership when it comes to interpreting external changes, timing of actions and coordination of resources, 2) the necessity of new technological innovations and their adoption on regime level, and 3) differentiated state support can develop demand for renewable products and is necessary for compensating extra costs for niche actors.

实施可持续性转型:挪威Trøndelag的沼气生产和公共交通案例

本文的背景是希望扩展对社会技术系统中可持续转变如何实现的理解,尤其是过程的特征和参与者的角色。以经验为背景的是在挪威特隆赫姆地区发展沼气生产和改善运输的情况。该案子由两个相连的单位组成;建立沼气厂(生产方)和发展可持续的公共交通系统(使用方)。作为分析的模板,应用了关于社会技术转型的多层次视角(MLP)。这种观点的核心是(社会技术)政权级别,必须进行更改以实现可持续过渡。政体层面的核心是参与者,技术和机构之间的互动。如果行动者遭受来自外部世界的威胁并获得利基创新,就可能发生过渡。对案例的分析表明,开发首先经历了一个转型阶段(大约1990-2009年),其中R&D参与者开发了基本的技术创新。在下一阶段(2009-2019年),有政治家和市场参与者参与了重新配置过程。多年来,这一过程带来了显着的可持续性成果(增加了沼气的生产以及化石在运输中交换为生物燃料)。可以得出三点主要教训:1)领导在解释外部变化,行动时机和资源协调方面的关键作用; 2)新技术创新的必要性及其在政权层面的采用;
