Dear colleagues,

for some you these two papers that have been recently published may be of interest.


1) Article in Marine Policy

Lange, M., O'Hagan, A. O., Devoy, R. J. N., Le Tissier, M. & V. Cummins (2018): Governance barriers to sustainable energy transitions – Assessing Ireland's capacity towards marine energy futures. J. Energy Policy 113: 623-632.

The regional focus of this article is on Ireland, a country, where offshore gas and oil remain relatively undeveloped, and yet have provoked extensive controversy. Ireland exhibits very ambitious plans for MRE developments. Against a background, where ME development seems to have stalled, the objective of the paper is to analyse the Irish governance setup and its capacity to deliver Marine Energy (ME) (including offshore hydcrocarbons along with marine renewable energies (MRE)), and whether the current system is equipped to enable transition to MREs.

2) Article in Energy Policy

Lange, M., Page, G. & V. Cummins (2018): Governance challenges of marine renewable energy developments in the U.S. – creating the enabling conditions for successfull project development. J. Marine Policy90C: 37-46.

The focus of this article is on the governance framework for marine energy in the U.S. The paper addresses the question, if the prerequisites for sustainable project development are evident in selected case studies on marine energy governance addressing perspectives from civil society, industry and government. It also asks what lessons can be learned from current practice in the context of energy governance at the local level.
