The world is digitising as the need for low-carbon transitions gains urgency. Decarbonising energy requires the digital process control of energy production, transmission and end use. Diversified electrification across sectors requires real-time digital coordination of distributed energy production, At the same time, digitisation is accompanied by significant increases in energy demand, partly compensated through energy efficiency gains.

The emergent linkages between digitisation and decarbonisation - that constitute and enable the twin transition - are the subject of this book. The collection features authors from across the social sciences who situate digitisation and low-carbon energy transitions in the socio-technical and political economic contexts in which they unfold, to offer insights on the dynamics and contingencies of digitisation in and beyond the energy sector.

This is an open access book.

Siddharth Sareen is an associate professor in energy and environment at the University of Stavanger and associate professor II at the Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation in Bergen. His research addresses the governance of energy transitions, from bustling cities to extractive zones, examining how changing energy infrastructure impacts social equity. Dozens of journals feature his work on solar energy politics, electricity supply, digitisation, urban mobility, land use, forestry and mining. He has worked in seven countries and given invited talks at forums like the United Nations and European Commission. Sareen is a member of the Young Academy of Norway.
Katja Müller is a social anthropologist with research interests in environmental and energy humanities, extractivism and transition studies on the one hand, and digital anthropology, material culture, visual and museum on the other. She received her habilitation from MLU Halle for research on postcolonial digital collections, and has been working with the UTS Sydney on protest against coal mining and decarbonisation of electricity. Her regional expertise lays in India and (East) Germany.
