Abstract
If the Nordic energy and transport sectors are to meet
the 2050 energy and climate policy targets, major
systemic changes are necessary. Along with new
technologies, changes are also required in other societal
functions such as business models and consumer habits.
The transition requires cooperation between public and
private actors. This chapter discusses the paradigm
change toward a 2050 Nordic road transport system based
on renewable energy. More precisely, it proposes an
approach for creation and analysis of prospective value
chains up to the year 2050. The value networks arise from
three alternative, but partly overlapping technology
platforms, namely electricity, biofuels and hydrogen. The
approach outlined in this chapter combines elements from
the fields of system-level changes (transitions), value
chain analysis and forward-looking policy design. It
presents a novel, policy relevant application with a set
of practical tools to support the development of
implementation strategies and policy programmes in the
fields of energy and transport.
