Pre- and Post-Adoption Beliefs about the Diffusion and Continuation of Biogas-Based Cooking Fuel Technology in Pakistan

Abstract: A high level of acceptance and adoption is necessary to facilitate the widespread utilization of renewable energy technologies for cooking, as such utilization is essential for displacing the population’s massive dependence on fossil fuels and solid biomass. Economic and demographic aspects have been the focus of recent literature in exploring the adoption phenomenon of biogas technology. However, literature to date has given little attention to the behavioral factors and the perceptions of the end-users. Our … Show more

“…Environmental deterioration, the increasing demand for energy, and the scarceness of nonrenewable sources of energy have forced countries to shift from the conventional sources of energy to renewable energy sources worldwide [2]. Renewable energy techniques address environmental issues and provide sustainable solutions for such energy problems [3]. Due to fast-paced industrialization, the demand for energy is increasing, and this increase is not only resulting in higher prices, but also improved economic development and living standards [4].…”

“…However, there are still a limited number of biogas plants in the country (approximately 5357), even though the country has an enormous potential to install many more plants [20]. In spite of social and environmental benefits, the adoption rate of biogas technology in Pakistan is extremely low [2,3]. Hence, at this juncture, it is valuable to understand potential factors that trigger biogas technology adoption [2,20] particularly in the context of a developing country [3] such as Pakistan.…”

“…This causal model has been widely used to explain public acceptance in a variety of technological domains, such as gene technology [ 18 , 39 , 40 , 41 ], financial technology [ 42 , 43 ], nanotechnology [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], renewable energy [ 32 , 50 , 51 , 52 ], unmanned aircraft [ 53 ], and automated driving technology [ 54 , 55 ]. The present study is also based on Siegrist’s causal model.…”

“…In that causal model, Siegrist argued that acceptance of this new technology was determined by both perceived risks and perceived benefits and that social trust exerted a strong indirect influence on acceptance through perceived risks and benefits. This causal model has been widely used to explain public acceptance in a variety of technological domains, such as gene technology [18,[39][40][41], financial technology [42,43], nanotechnology [44][45][46][47][48][49], renewable energy [32,[50][51][52], unmanned aircraft [53], and automated driving technology [54,55]. The present study is also based on Siegrist's causal model.…”
