Barriers to Technology Diffusion

According to IEA • Technical• Economic (Efficiency, capacities, output,

finantial)• Institutional (including legal)• Behavioural (Informational)According to S.Shelton, Georgia Institute of Technology• Infrastructure

Focus of research

• Small wind energy systems (SWT)• Solar thermal collectors• Heat Pumps• Biogas plants• Solar PV panels

Page 11: Off grid renewable energy as a chance for sustainable

Method of research

• JEDI model (input-output): environmental effects, number of jobs, salaries, and overall economic activity

• Identification of the potential beneficiaries (Force Field Analysis, Kurt Lewin)

Environmental EffectsTechnology Potential Market Potential

Environmental Effects

Small Wind 1,760 SWT installations a year

5,000 tons of GHG

Solar Thermal 1,760 2 sq.m installations a year

10,000 tons GHG

Biogas plants 33 poultries8 pig farms

The decrease in waste water as 0,3

billion m3;20,700 tons GHG

Heat Pumps 15,542 installations a year

20,800 tons of GHG

Potential beneficiaries

• Domestic producers of small wind turbines (13% of world manufactures)

• Solar cells manufacturers (2 of well-known manufacturers are located in Krasnodar)

• Small service companies • Companies with foreign capital (by LLC "Klaas-

Kuban“)• Biogas-station producers• Population

The perspectives of development

• The modeling of interaction between groups of potential beneficiaries and pollutant-industries lobbies

• Investigation of information barriers and cross-country comparisons;
