This book is about the experimental introduction ofbioenergy technologies in society. It investigateswhy some countries are more successful than others.The book draws on Strategic Niche Management (SNM) toinvestigate the differences between the Netherlandsand Denmark. SNM is a research and policy strategybased on evolutionary theories of technologicalchange and technology assessment approaches. It dealswith experimentation in niches as a mechanism intransitions to sustainability. This research makestwo contributions to SNM. First, it shows how(protected) technological niches transform intomarket niches. Second, it enhances SNM by integratingthe dynamics of incumbent regimes in explaining thesuccess of sustainable innovations. Strategic NicheManagement for Biomass combines empirical researchwith recent insights from innovation studies. It isrelevant for those involved in the promotion ofsustainable innovations

through experimentation aswell as scholars interested in bioenergy technologiesand renewable energy in general. This may include abroad audience such as policy makers, scientists,corporate managers, and environmentalists.

Rob Raven is Assistant Professor at TU/e. He is interested insystem innovations, social embedding of technologies andsustainable innovation. Rob is a member of the Dutch KSI networkon system innovations, the European Association for the Study ofScience and Technology (EASST) and the Eindhoven Centre forInnovation Studies (ECIS).
