This paper investigates two transition initiatives at the local level – namely the reconversion of the Porto Marghera and Gela refineries into biorefineries for second-generation biofuels. The study aimed at assessing the extent to which the narrative pressures exerted by local actors influenced the perspectives of key stakeholders involved in these transition processes. To this end, a blended methodology was employed, combining discourse analysis with stakeholder analysis and semi-structured interviews. First, stakeholders were grouped into four categories according to the source (national/global) and channel (formal/informal) of pressure. National/informal actors emerged as the most influential group. The discourse analysis identified three dominant storylines representing complementary trajectories defined by national actors operating through informal channels. Finally, semi-structured interviews with key local actors involved in the Porto Marghera and Gela reconversions were used to assess the impact of these storylines in the reconversion processes. Comparison of the two cases revealed fundamental specificities related to their respective cultural, political and socio-economic contexts. While the Porto Marghera reconversion was presented as a consolidated success story (albeit with a number of drawbacks related to the fact that it was still mainly powered by first-generation feedstocks), the Gela case was viewed as a complex and challenging ongoing process with an uncertain outcome.

在意大利迈向生物能源转型?探索区域利益相关者对 Gela 和 Porto Marghera 生物精炼厂的看法

本文研究了地方层面的两项转型举措——即将 Porto Marghera 和 Gela 炼油厂改造为生产第二代生物燃料的生物炼油厂。该研究旨在评估当地参与者施加的叙事压力在多大程度上影响了参与这些转型过程的主要利益相关者的观点。为此,采用了一种混合方法,将话语分析与利益相关者分析和半结构化访谈相结合。首先,根据压力来源(国家/全球)和渠道(正式/非正式)将利益相关者分为四类。国家/非正式参与者成为最具影响力的群体。话语分析确定了三个主要故事情节,代表了由通过非正式渠道运作的国家行为者定义的互补轨迹。最后,对参与 Porto Marghera 和 Gela 改造的当地主要参与者进行了半结构化访谈,以评估这些故事情节在改造过程中的影响。两个案例的比较揭示了与它们各自的文化、政治和社会经济背景相关的基本特性。虽然 Porto Marghera 再转化是一个综合性的成功故事(尽管存在许多与它仍主要由第一代原料驱动有关的缺点),但 Gela 案被视为一个复杂且具有挑战性的持续过程不确定的结果。对参与 Porto Marghera 和 Gela 改造的当地主要参与者进行了半结构化访谈,以评估这些故事情节在改造过程中的影响。两个案例的比较揭示了与它们各自的文化、政治和社会经济背景相关的基本特性。虽然 Porto Marghera 再转化是一个综合性的成功故事(尽管存在许多与它仍主要由第一代原料驱动有关的缺点),但 Gela 案被视为一个复杂且具有挑战性的持续过程不确定的结果。对参与 Porto Marghera 和 Gela 改造的当地主要参与者进行了半结构化访谈,以评估这些故事情节在改造过程中的影响。两个案例的比较揭示了与它们各自的文化、政治和社会经济背景相关的基本特性。虽然 Porto Marghera 再转化是一个综合性的成功故事(尽管存在许多与它仍主要由第一代原料驱动有关的缺点),但 Gela 案被视为一个复杂且具有挑战性的持续过程不确定的结果。两个案例的比较揭示了与它们各自的文化、政治和社会经济背景相关的基本特性。虽然 Porto Marghera 再转化是一个综合性的成功故事(尽管存在许多与它仍主要由第一代原料驱动有关的缺点),但 Gela 案被视为一个复杂且具有挑战性的持续过程不确定的结果。两个案例的比较揭示了与它们各自的文化、政治和社会经济背景相关的基本特性。虽然 Porto Marghera 再转化是一个综合性的成功故事(尽管存在许多与它仍主要由第一代原料驱动有关的缺点),但 Gela 案被视为一个复杂且具有挑战性的持续过程不确定的结果。
