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

The document analyzes ethanol fuel transitions in Brazil, Malawi, and Sweden, treating them as pioneer countries. It examines how these nations developed physical and institutional infrastructure through the interaction of niche, regime, and landscape levels, while considering spatial and temporal path dependencies.

• Brazil, Malawi, and Sweden are identified as pioneer countries in the development of institutional and physical infrastructure and the stimulation of innovation regarding alternative transport fuels.
• The transition to alternative fuels in these countries is influenced by niche formation and its interaction with regime and landscape levels, as well as cross-scale and cross-sector effects and spatial and temporal path dependencies.
