      abstract     = {BackgroundWhile there are plenty of studies investigating
                      the market penetration of new technologies, phase-out
                      processes of a predominant technology are rarely analyzed.
                      The present study explores the case of a declining
                      technology, employing the example of coal-fired power plants
                      in Germany. These plants were promoted by governmental
                      decision-makers as well as by the industry for a long time,
                      but meanwhile, the phase-out or at least a cutback of
                      coal-fired power plants is––not only in
                      Germany––considered to be a key strategy for the
                      transformation towards a sustainable society.MethodsWe
                      investigate potential pathways of the future development of
                      the coal-fired power plant sector in an extended multi-level
                      perspective (MLP) framework that integrates economic,
                      social, political, and technical aspects.ResultsTaking into
                      account the fact that coal is losing its support from
                      several important stakeholders (e.g., governmental
                      decision-makers, utilities) due to, e.g., changes in the
                      prioritization of political goals, changes in the economic
                      framework, in actor constellations, and in public attitudes,
                      coal-fired power plants tend to be pushed into niches or to
                      disappear completely. ConclusionsA reasonable management of
                      the niche technology “coal-fired power plants” could
                      include a protection of space for ensuring a smooth removal
                      of the links between the regime and the technology with
                      respect to, e.g., social and environmental aspects. The
                      phase-out pathways for the coal-fired power plants
                      elaborated on in this paper help to better inform
                      policy-makers to design transformation processes not only
                      for coal-fired power but also for other declining
                      technologies.},
