Democratic Engagement in Sustainable Energy Innovation: Applying the Quintuple Innovation Helix to Manage Accelerating Fusion Energy Through an IEA-Backed Global Commission
本文提出由国际能源署支持的全球委员会作为管理工具，应用五重创新螺旋模型促进民主参与，以协调聚变能从科研阶段到商业化的全球发展，助力2050年后可持续能源转型。
Fusion energy could be a part of sustainable energy development from approximately 2050. However, the international community does not possess a coherent global roadmap for managing fusion's global development from the science-oriented ITER phase, the 2020s–2030s, into the energy-oriented demonstration power plant (DEMO) phase of demonstration fusion pilot plants (FPPs), the 2030s–2040s, nor a plan to scale up from the first working FPPs to second-generation fleets of devices. In this article, we propose an existing mechanism, an International Energy Agency-Backed North–South Global Commission, as a management-focusing device. It suggests that, in addition to incorporating practices in commission design that facilitate them in producing useful evidence and recommending actions, commission construction should reflect the analytic power of the quintuple innovation helix model to arm it with deep democratic engagement across different domains. This ensures that the commission's design, including membership and staffing, will facilitate the multistakeholder participation and deliberation needed to both form a management environment for fusion development and for supporting and accelerating the financial, technological, and other intersectoral and inter-regional (North/South) commitments. These are essential to incorporate fusion into a sustainable global energy future by 2100, significantly contributing to the energy transition. This approach also offers recommendations for future international commission design across different management domains.
