“…In addition to local and regional impacts on the environment, also global environmental burdens in terms of impacts on climate change, human health, ecosystem quality, and resources can have an (indirect) effect on feasible wind power potentials e be it due to an influence on the public opinion [283,284], or due to prioritisation of wind power in energy policy and planning [285e287]. Such global burdens are quantified employing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) [288].…”

“…Local opponents, residents who thwart such projects, are often accused of NIMBYism and being emotive [64]. The "Not In My Back Yard" syndromes and Locally Unwanted Land Uses (or LULUs) have mainly been associated with wind farms [65][66][67][68], but also with biomass power plants [69][70][71], and even off-shore wind energy [72][73][74].…”

Carbon Lock-Out: Advancing Renewable Energy Policy in Europe

et al. 2012

As part of its climate strategy, the EU aims at increasing the share of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-E) in overall electricity generation. Attaining this target poses a considerable challenge as the electricity sector is "locked" into a carbon-intensive system, which hampers the adoption of RES-E technologies. Electricity generation, transmission and distribution grids as well as storage and demand response are subject to important path dependences, which put existing, non-renewable energy sources at an advantage. This paper examines how an EU framework for RES-E support policies should be designed to facilitate a carbon lock-out. For this purpose, we specify the major technological, economic and institutional barriers to RES-E. For each of the barriers, a policy review is carried out which assesses the performance of existing policy instruments and identifies needs for reform. The review reveals several shortcomings: while policies targeting generation are widely in place, measures to address barriers associated with OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2012, 5 324 electricity grids, storage and demand are still in their infancy and have to be extended. Moreover, the implementation of policies has been fragmented across EU Member States. In this respect, national policies should be embedded into an integrated EU-wide planning of the RES-E system with overarching energy scenarios and partially harmonized policy rules.

“…In addition, healthy interaction with certain geographical factors, state-of-the-art technology development, and social factors helps in accelerating the development of biofuel-based projects [101,102]. Sometimes, opposition to renewable energy at micro-social level may play an important role in the success of the workout of biofuel-based projects [103]. Biofuels are noticed to be the most promising alternative sources of energy which can be helpful in bringing down the problems caused due to greenhouse effect as a result of extensive use of fossil fuels.…”
