| description | This paper highlights the specificities of the patterns of low carbon energy technological
innovations in selected Asian emerging economies. China and the members of ASEAN-4
(Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines) are included in this analysis for their
identical structure of developing economies. We outline a synthetic framework to cluster the
technologies with similar characteristics and analyse the changes of these characteristics over
time to elucidate the scope of sectoral composition and specialisation of the selected
economies, in order to understand the relative impact of science-based low carbon energy
technologies on the niches of technological excellence. The findings show that China was
keen to pursue its diversification strategy and develop its capability in low carbon energy
technologies since the tum of the millennium. However, China has been gradually losing its
momentum in more traditional areas like biomass, hydroelectric power, natural gas and fossil
fuels. The ASEAN-4 economies, on the other hand, are showing interest in building a number
of niches of technological excellence. This highlights a contrasting relative technological
advantage between large and smaller economies. Our findings also indicate that many of the
low carbon technologies in selected economies have yet to attain strong scientific grounding
for development. The findings of this paper are expected to provide some insights into low
carbon energy technological development of emerging economies, and be useful for other
developing economies to establish their strategic moves for energy industrial development. |
