Abstract It is concluded that, from an evolutionary model of technology population niche competition, low carbon technology will be "lock out" of mainstream market due to "carbon lock-in". By contract, niche market provides "protected space" for the development and application of low carbon technology. Replacement and hybridization are two alternative strategies to escape from "carbon lock-in" based on two different kinds of niche innovation, i.e., competitive niche innovation and complementary niche innovation. These two alternative strategies mean different paths and ways to arrive at the goal of "carbon unlocking". Replacement strategy consists of three stages, that is, competitive niche formation, accumulation and branching, and the substitution of carbon-based technological regime by low carbon one, whereas hybridization strategy also has three stages: competitive niche formation, hybridization and low carbon transition of carbon-based technological regime. Pros and cons of both two strategies should be weighed when put into practice.
