From: \(\text {CO}_2\)-based methane: an overlooked solution for the energy transition
Dynamics of a sustainable transition. The left arrow represents the implementation of \(\text {CO}_2\)-based methane. This arrow goes from the niche level to the societal landscape. The arrow has curvatures, especially in the policy dimension. The curvature represents the level of modification required for the dimension so that the energy carrier can be used. Even though a curvature is present, the fuel is implemented, and it can be used the societal landscape. The right arrows are also initiated in the niche, but the arrow splits instead of going further upward. This splitting represents the heavy modification of the dimension, and as a result, it takes more time to implement either hydrogen or electricity on the societal landscape. Modified from [8]
