Innovation determines the competitiveness of companies and countries. Innovative products and processes have revolutionized the world economy, and are particularly important in the energy industry. Demand for energy innovation originates from resource scarcity, a surge in energy consumption and stringent environmental regulations. The objective of this paper is to examine the application of selected energy-related innovations in Poland. The analysis is based on the database of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Our analysis covers the period 2009-2014, as extended by limited data availability. From it, we conclude that Poland performed well in selected energy-related innovations. This study extends knowledge concerning the link between energy efficiency/renewables and innovation.Keywords: energy industry innovativeness, R&D in the energy industry JEL: Q40, O32

We estimate the effects of different channels of learning-learning through R&D in wind turbine manufacturing, learning from previous experience of installation, and learning through the network interaction between project developer and turbine manufacturer-on technological change, measured as reductions in projected costs or as increased capacity factor across CDM wind projects. While we find that a manufacturer's R&D and previous installation experience matter, interactions between wind turbine manufacturers and wind project developer lead to the largest cost reductions. Whereas existing literature suggests that wind power firms can learn from the experience of other wind farm developers, our results indicate that wind power firms mainly learn from their own experience and that knowledge spillovers mostly occur within certain partnerships between wind project developer and foreign turbine manufacturers in China's wind power industry.

“…However, the creation of similar support schemes in USA and China in the last decade (Table 2) has shifted, at least partially, the initial advantages from Germany. In China, regulation of wind played a key role promoting a transition from imitation and cooperation to indigenous innovation [58,71]. While the Tenth and Eleventh Five-Year Plans (2001-2005; 2006-2010) put a strong focus on the R&D and innovation capabilities, the current Twelfth Five Year Plan (2011-2015) increased support to demonstration and diffusion activities to achieve the target of 11.4% of total energy use based on non-fossil sources [72,73].…”

Abstract:The international diffusion of environmental innovations is getting increasing attention as an opportunity to improve competitiveness. Especially in the energy sector, countries use policy support to this end. A recent goal in this context is the formation of "lead markets", which represents the idea that countries can build up first-mover advantages that will increase their competitiveness. Taking the lead in international diffusion of a particular innovation benefits a country's industry through creating increasing returns of technological development and stimulating exports to expanding international markets. Interaction between national and international forces affecting renewable energy innovation and its diffusion has received fairly little attention so far. Here, we investigate the formation of lead markets for wind power technologies in China, Germany and the USA to see whether policy support of renewable energy innovation is capable of improving competitiveness. An extension of the current lead market framework is developed to include supply side factors and technology policy issues. The comparative analysis of lead market potential for wind power indicates a high level of internationalization of the industry with countries OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2014, 7 8237 holding lead positions in specific parts the supply chain. Competitive advantages were built upon policy support but tended to shift among countries.
