2022 (English)In: Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, ISSN 2210-4224, E-ISSN 2210-4232, Vol. 42, p. 232-250Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

This study aims to conduct a functional analysis of the technological innovation system with the inclusion of sectoral and spatial perspectives. This involves the impact analysis of a variety of sectors’ integration into the biogas value chain and a more explicit review of spatial and institutional contexts of the transition process. By applying mixed methods research, this approach is illustrated by examining the development of the biogas industry in Russia. As a result, the adjusted framework enables us to understand how technological innovation develops, diffuses, and uses in specific segments and places. Such an advanced insight of the analyzed case also helps to give accurate recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, who seek to initiate or expand the diffusion of biogas technologies in Russia. © 2022 The Author

 Funding details: Council on grants of the President of the Russian Federation, 450; Funding text 1: Regarding bioenergy itself, the Russian government adopted the Comprehensive Program on Development of Biotechnology through 2020 (BIO 2020) in April 2012, which was supported by the Roadmap for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Development approved on July 18, 2013 ( Russian Government, 2012 ) [G:NL]. One of the Roadmap's targets was to achieve the 80% of energy recovery from poultry and crop farming, animal farming wastes, timber, and food processing waste in a total volume of agricultural, food, and timber waste. However, this goal was also not accomplished due to the lack of governmental support and investments in the bioenergy industry ( Namsaraev et al., 2018 ).; Funding text 2: Decree of Government No. 961 of 23 September 2016 provides subsidies for the connection of renewable energy equipment to the grid network [G:NL]. The total amount of subsidies should not exceed 70% of the cost to the grid network connection and no more than 15 million rubles ( NORDICECONEWS, 2018 ; Russian Government, 2016 ). Regarding R&D funding, German companies and scientific organizations have assisted the development of biogas projects in Russia [G:IL]. As an example, the Russian-German project “Cooperation of bioregions in Russia and Germany” (2009–2012) was supported and funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety of Germany ( Tihonravov, 2011 ).; Funding text 3: Tatiana Nevzorova acknowledges the financial support of the Global Education Program fellowship , the Russian Federation [ grant number 450 ]. An earlier version of the paper was presented at the “5th Network of Early Career Researchers in Sustainability Transitions Conference 2020″ held online from May 6–8, 2020.
