Critical factors to bioenergy implementation

@article{citeulike:2762836, abstract = {Barriers to bioenergy technology implementation have received increased attention in recent years. This paper contributes to the identification and analysis of barriers and drivers behind bioenergy market growth, here labelled "critical factors". It presents a framework for the analysis of both existing and projected bioenergy market potential, using economic concepts and models from transaction cost theory and industrial organization. The framework can be used for assessments of the potential for market growth of different bioenergy systems by decision makers in administration and industry. The following critical factors are identified: Integration with other economic activity, Scale effects on bioenergy markets, Competition in bioenergy markets, Competition with other business, National policy, Local policy and local opinion. The framework is demonstrated with five cases of real bioenergy markets: Pellet residential heating in USA, bioenergy power in USA, pellet residential heating in Sweden, biomass district heating in Sweden, and biomass district heating in Austria. Different applications of the framework are discussed.}, author = {Roos, Anders and Graham, Robin L. and Hektor, Bo and Rakos, Christian }, citeulike-article-id = {2762836}, doi = {10.1016/S0961-9534(99)00028-8}, journal = {Biomass and Bioenergy}, keywords = {bio, economics-tce, energy-renewable}, month = {August}, number = {2}, pages = {113--126}, posted-at = {2008-05-06 21:29:40}, priority = {2}, title = {Critical factors to bioenergy implementation}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0961-9534(99)00028-8}, volume = {17}, year = {1999} }
