Project description
Global energy sector and rapid decarbonisation policies
The extensive efforts of organisations, policymakers, and countries have significantly benefited the green transition and helped in our efforts to reach the Green Deal goals. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, we still have not reached the urgent decarbonisation goals that have been set. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MAP project will conduct extensive research at a global level into the physical investment of primary energy supply firms and the governments and shareholders behind them. Further, the project will analyse how the control, ownership, and board structures behind these firms influence climate and energy policies. Ultimately, the project will identify the most effective policy mixes and solutions for rapid decarbonisation.
Objective
The urgent need for rapid decarbonization of the global energy sector to meet Paris Agreement goals requires more robust policies based on a deep understanding of the sector’s key economic actors, investment decisions and incentives, and influence on policymaking. However, these factors have not yet been thoroughly studied. The MAP project addresses this critical research gap by examining, at the global level, primary energy supply firms' physical investment, categorized by technology - dirty, clean, or options like CCS potentially diverting resources from cleaner alternatives. These investments will be traced to the firms’ ultimate owners, whether governments or shareholders. Additionally, MAP will analyze how ownership, control, and board structures influence energy and climate policies. Ultimately, the project aims to identify the most effective policy mixes for achieving rapid decarbonization of energy, considering these dynamics. MAP will employ empirical, econometric and network analysis to study investment patterns, ownership structures, and their influence on climate and energy policymaking. It will also develop an agent-based model to simulate policy scenarios and assess policies' effectiveness. The project will provide insights into energy decarbonization's industrial and political economy dimensions by integrating economics, network analysis, energy system modelling, and political science.
Hosted at UniCA within a leading multidisciplinary research group and supervised by Prof. Mauro Napoletano, an expert in agent-based models and network analysis, the project will produce cutting-edge research. The fellow, expert in climate economics, innovation, and concentration, will contribute to the group's research and knowledge exchange. This fellowship will broaden the applicant's expertise, research capabilities - enhanced through advanced courses at UniCA - and professional networks, positioning her for a tenured role at a leading EU institution.
