Resumo Dinâmicas distintas podem ser observadas entre os mercados de energias renováveis e fósseis, sugerindo a necessidade de abordagens diversas no campo teórico e prático da segurança energética. Entretanto, no contexto da atual transição energética, observa-se uma concentração geográfica das cadeias produtivas dos novos equipamentos geradores de energias limpas, o que cria novas dependências por insumos e parceiros comerciais. Consequentemente, a segurança energética é afetada pela sua relação com insumos não-energéticos, como minerais críticos. Neste artigo, empreende-se uma pesquisa documental para posterior análise quantitativa dos dados da United States Geological Survey (USGS). Após a apresentação da discussão teórica acerca da segurança energética, da transição energética e de minerais críticos, analisamos documentos dos setores energético e mineral redigidos no recorte temporal de 2000 a 2020. Conclui-se que a transição em direção a matrizes energéticas menos poluentes pode resultar na criação de novas dependências e que o acesso a recursos não energéticos é condicionante para o êxito do processo de transição energética.

Different dynamics can be observed between the renewable and fossil energy markets, suggesting the need for different approaches in the theoretical and practical field of energy security. However, in the context of the current energy transition, there is a geographic concentration of production chains of new clean energy-generating equipment, which creates new dependencies for inputs and commercial partners. Consequently, energy security is affected by the relationship with non-fuel inputs such as critical minerals. In this work, we seek to engage in documentary research followed by a quantitative analysis of data provided by the United States Geological Survey. After the presentation of the theoretical discussion about energy security, energy transition and critical minerals, we analyse documents from the energy and mineral sectors written in the period from 2000 to 2020. It is posited that the transition towards less polluting energy matrices can result in the creation of new dependencies and that access to non-fuel resources is a condition for the success of the energy transition.

“…Therefore, a remedial approach for governments and local governments to accelerate progress in different areas, especially in societies' transnational policy networks, is the use of elites to take responsibility and present practical solutions to overcome existing issues [31]. However, on the other hand, the elite knowledge about different fields of energy such as energy policy, energy efficiency, energy technology, sustainable energy, etc., especially for proposing appropriate solutions for overcoming challenges of global energy transformations on a more significant scale, can play a beneficial role [32]. In addition, about climate change issues [33], and energy (sustainable development) [34], renewable energy development [35], the elite using their thinking power can pave the way for policymakers and energy experts.…”

Development of Sustainable Energy Use with Attention to Fruitful Policy

There are different energy approaches around the world to the development of sustainable energy systems. In this regard, the role of governments, local governments, and people in the development and use of sustainable energy is remarkable. This research, concerning the present epistemic and normative differences, aims to investigate the societal debate on citizen inclusion, local and national attempts to develop clear procedures and guidelines in the transition to sustainable energy use in different countries. Existing theories, subjectivities, and policy implications for different countries are first carefully analyzed. Based on theories, evidence, and policy implications, the behavioural insights for sustainable energy use are then examined. The results show that national governments should never ignore the psychology and behaviour of people, especially in terms of economic behaviour, performance applicable and knowledge of local governments and people in sustainable energy development. Channels of communication between local, people, and national governments, can make a robust shared network and implement simple policies such as increasing their authority. They can also encourage and build capacity through the training, support, trust and knowledge capacity of local governments and people to move toward sustainable energy development. Therefore, focusing on government and maintaining national authority should be departed from any approaches that local government and the public should be constrained as minor actors in sustainable energy governance networks. This work demonstrates that local governments can develop sustainable energy. Moreover, national governments can overcome issues and further control sustainable energy public policy goals under difficult national political conditions.
