ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on how deliberative planning processes can stimulate radical transition processes to local non-fossil energy systems. It analyzes transition processes in the Kalundborg Symbiosis in order to propose how transitions processes to non-fossil energy systems can emerge in an industrial district in Thailand; Navanakorn Industrial Park. The chapter discusses important findings from theories on governance of socio-technical regimes. It explains the importance of changes in the landscape for example the problem of climate change as important drivers for creating windows of opportunities for novelties. Meta-governance especially national priorities in relation to the energy system and waste management were important, but the first driver was limited water resources. Sustainability is an important driver in the sense that the transition process relates to national and global priorities, focusing on the reduction of waste and emissions of CO2.
