SUMMARY:Generating Energy Insecurity in India: Coal Mining\, Criminality an
 d Carbon Lock-in
DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker : Emma Lecavalier
Emma Lecavalier is a visiting r
 esearcher from the Global Risk Governance Programme at the University of C
 ape Town. Her research focuses on sustainable energy transitions in China\
 , India\, and South Africa. More broadly\, her interests include climate r
 isk\, cities\, sustainability\, and complex networks. Summary  Studies on 
 energy sector reform traditionally focus on forms of “lock-in” that ac
 t as disincentives to institutional change: for instance\, capital investm
 ents in infrastructure\, subsidies to incumbent technologies\, and economi
 es of scale. What these studies\, however\, fail to capture are the contex
 tual and messy entanglements of energy systems\, in which the functioning 
 of the system reaches far beyond simply the economic and financial sectors
 .
Using original research conducted in India in 2015\, this presentation e
 xplores an additional\, but lesser recognized contributor to the resilienc
 e of the carbon-intensive energy system in India: the illegal coal market.
  This presentation explores the interrelationships between coal\, mining\,
  and 'grey-market' employment\, and how this informal system curtails the 
 scope of possible energy sector reform in India.
Following on these resear
 ch findings\, a new heuristic\, 'nodal lock-in'\, is introduced for unders
 tanding energy sector stability. The notion of nodal lock-in aims to captu
 re the complex interrelations between ideas\, institutions\, people and th
 ings in the carbon system\, and how these relationships contribute to the 
 perpetuation of the energy system in India.
