Drivers and Barriers for Implementation of Bioenergy Technologies in Rural Bioeconomies

Short Introductive summary

In the course of Horizon 2020 BRANCHES project (Boosting rural bioeconomy networks following multi-actor approaches; https://www.branchesproject.eu/), knowledge has been summarized and shared on farm- and community scale rural bioeconomy practices related to biogas production, hybrid energy solutions, biomass heating and CHP, and advanced thermochemical conversion processes. This research will give an outlook of the identified drivers and barriers related to the implementation potential of the practices in rural areas. The research presents factors that have or may have an impact on the reason the bioeconomy solution is implemented and put into practice or not. The drivers and barriers are assessed according to the DEPEST approach in which demographic, economic, political, ecological, socio-cultural and technological factors for the implementation of the given technology are evaluated.
