Pioneer countries in the transition to alternative transport fuels: comparison of ethanol programmes and policies in Brazil, Malawi and Sweden

This research paper compares the transition to alternative transport fuels, specifically ethanol, in Brazil, Malawi, and Sweden, analyzing these nations as pioneers in developing the necessary physical and institutional infrastructure.

• The authors analyze Brazil, Malawi, and Sweden as pioneer countries that have developed institutional and physical infrastructure and stimulated innovation regarding alternative transport fuels, specifically ethanol.
• The assessment of the transition in these countries is based on the interaction between niche formation and the regime and landscape levels, with a focus on cross-sector and cross-scale effects and spatial and temporal path dependencies.
• The study aims to provide other regions and countries facing climate change and energy security challenges with an understanding of the socio-technical and techno-economic linkages within the transition paths of pioneer countries across various economic development stages.
