Solar and wind energy are expected to play a key role in creating a climate-neutral Europe
by 2050 and decarbonizing energy production in general, albeit requiring significant …

Although there is a clear positive link between community wind energy (CWE) projects and
social acceptance, there is still empirical and conceptual ambiguity concerning the details of …

Social sciences have been very prolific in the last decades in publishing research that
attempts to better understand the social acceptance of renewable energy technologies and …

The literature on social acceptance of wind energy has identified several important
characteristics shaping the social acceptance of a planned project. These include …

To foster the green energy transition, local acceptance of wind energy is highly relevant.
Since simple solutions like setback distances do not reflect the issue complexity, we …

A lack of social acceptance obstructs the diffusion of wind energy and jeopardises the fight
against global warming and climate change. Academic literature has identified the leading …

Cost optimal scenarios derived from models of a highly renewable electricity system depend
on the specific input data, cost assumptions and system constraints. Here this influence is …

The manifestations of the energy transition, such as the expansion of power lines, wind or
biogas plants, create 'energy landscapes'. The changes often trigger public conflicts …

Food waste residues and discards from vegetables, fruits, bread, meat, and dairy products
are often discarded in landfills as waste. However, these wasted food residues can be …

The research field of the social acceptance of renewable energy technologies (RETs) has
shown that people as central actors in current low-carbon energy transitions relate to RET …
