Abstract | Despite
the technical feasibility of renewable energy technologies and their
contribution to climate-friendly power production public opposition can
be a hurdle for new installations of renewable energy plants. This study
assesses citizens’ perceptions of the Agrophotovoltaics (APV)
technology by applying the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)
concept. APV combines biomass cultivation and solar power production at
the same site in order to reduce land use conflict of food vs. energy
production. In a workshop, citizens’ perception on APV before building
the first pilot plant was investigated to analyze relevant aspects for
the innovation process and its framework at an early stage of the
technology development process. This paper describes the findings from
this workshop focusing on the impact of APV on landscape, biodiversity,
economy, and on the requirements for regulatory framework. |
