The objective of this paper is to review how Science and Technology Studies (STS) has contributed to climate change mitigation research. We focus on large‐scale infrastructures as a key topic of both mitigation efforts and recent STS scholarship. The paper assesses the conceptual and methodological treatments in this field, uses literature evidence to identify research gaps, and suggests potential topics for future research. Our research firstly contributes to the use of STS approaches in the novel field of climate change mitigation infrastructure, asking how scholarship in the field has learned from STS and developed STS further. Second, we examine how infrastructures are approached in this literature and conclude that the reviewed works almost exclusively associate infrastructure with physical supply systems. This is paradoxical since several of them also advocate a socio‐technical perspective on infrastructures, which would require much more substantiation of the social aspects than they seem to provide. Third, we explore the fits between theoretical frameworks and methods in this field and discover a strong reliance on case studies, literature reviews, and theoretical‐conceptual discussions. This situation suggests that methodological advancements in STS infrastructure studies has still been untapped in this area.This article is categorized under: The Carbon Economy and Climate Mitigation > Decarbonizing Energy and/or Reducing Demand

科学技术研究如何为气候减缓研究做出贡献？基础设施作为概念和方法的高级审查

本文的目的是回顾科学技术研究 (STS) 如何为减缓气候变化研究做出贡献。我们重点关注大型基础设施，将其作为缓解努力和最近 STS 奖学金的关键主题。本文评估了该领域的概念和方法论处理，利用文献证据来确定研究差距，并提出未来研究的潜在主题。我们的研究首先致力于在气候变化减缓基础设施这一新领域中使用 STS 方法，询问该领域的学术界如何从 STS 中学习并进一步发展 STS。其次，我们研究了这些文献中如何处理基础设施，并得出结论，所审查的作品几乎完全将基础设施与物理供应系统联系起来。这是自相矛盾的，因为他们中的一些人还主张从社会技术角度看待基础设施，这需要比他们似乎提供的更多的社会方面的证实。第三，我们探索了该领域理论框架和方法之间的契合度，发现对案例研究、文献综述和理论概念讨论的强烈依赖。这种情况表明，STS 基础设施研究的方法论进步在该领域尚未得到开发。本文分类如下： 碳经济和减缓气候变化 > 能源脱碳和/或减少需求
