Energy Transition Research at OIES focuses on the trends shaping energy systems, transformations in behaviours and business models, and the implications of shifting from the existing hydrocarbon-dominated energy economy to a system in which renewables, low-carbon energy sources and abated use of hydrocarbons will play a much greater role.
Energy Transition Research identifies and analyses the key themes shaping the energy system and combines and coordinates transition research themes from across all other OIES Research Programmes.

E-fuels, in particular e-diesel, will have to play a key role in replacing fossil fuels in shipping and thus promote climate change mitigation in this sector. However, at present, it remains uncertain whether e-diesel will indeed be utilized in the coming years, further adding to the challenge of predicting its availability and usage. Challenges such […]
In this podcast from the China Energy Programme, Anders Hove talks to OIES Senior Research Fellow Philip Andrews-Speed about his two papers for the recent Oxford Energy Forum on nuclear power entitled “The role of nuclear power in China’s energy security and low-carbon energy transition” and “Will Russian and Chinese nuclear reactor exports assist in […]
This paper proposes a paradigm shift from price-based to quantity-based electricity subsidies, inspired by the characteristics of distributed generation technologies such as photovoltaics (PV solar). This approach, aimed at addressing the significant challenges in Mexico’s electricity sector exacerbated by nearshoring, entails reallocating government budgets towards the procurement of solar panels for individuals or households. The […]
