Kathryn Chelminski, Research Assistant at CIES, presented a paper titled "The clean energy regime complex and Indonesia’s geothermal energy evolution” at the Political Economy of Energy panel at the 2015 International Studies Association Conference in New Orleans, LA, 18-21 February. The paper presented initial empirical findings from her field research in Indonesia, developed during her work at CIES on the SNIS-funded project “Access to Clean Energy for the Green Economy in Developing Countries.” The paper discusses the impact of global governance for clean energy on the development of geothermal energy in Indonesia, and examines the ways through which barriers to technology diffusion are addressed by multilateral and bilateral initiatives. The main findings are that a combination of finance, policy support, and technical training are necessary elements of clean energy governance in facilitating technology diffusion in Indonesia—particularly in the geothermal industry. The paper was well-received by the attending scholars at the panel, and the feedback she received will be integrated into her dissertation and paper revisions.
