Identification of System Failures in Biofuels Technological Innovation System of Iran

This study aims to answer the question ofwhat are the failures of the biofuels innovation system in Iran. To attain this goal, it conducts a structural analysis (actors, institutions, networks, infrastructures). By studying path of formation and growth Iran's biofuels sector using technological innovation system approach and effects of various functions on each other using structural equation modeling determines the motor of innovation. Finally, through interaction between structural and functional properties, failures of biofuels system will be identified and based on motors of innovation, importance of these failures in creating vicious circles and converting it to virtous circles will be studied.
