Abstract

This article examines the influence of the size of renewable energy projects on their social acceptability. To do so, it focuses on biomethane in France. Using a qualitative approach based on interviews and press analysis, we reveal that the perception of project size varies considerably according to territorial context and associated emotional impacts. The results show that even large projects can be socially acceptable if they are properly integrated with their objectives aligned with local expectations. The study highlights the tension between ambitions for large-scale biomethane development and local preferences for human-scale initiatives. The article proposes strategies for improving the social acceptability of biomethane projects, taking account of local specificities and promoting in-depth consultation with communities.
规模重要吗?生物甲烷项目规模对社会接受度的影响
本文探讨了可再生能源项目的规模对其社会可接受性的影响。为此,文章重点关注法国的生物甲烷。通过采用基于访谈和新闻分析的定性方法,我们揭示了人们对项目规模的看法因地域环境和相关情感影响的不同而有很大差异。研究结果表明,如果大型项目的目标与当地人的期望相一致,那么即使是大型项目也能为社会所接受。研究强调了大规模生物甲烷开发的雄心与当地人对人性化举措的偏好之间的矛盾。文章提出了提高生物甲烷项目社会可接受性的策略,同时考虑到了当地的具体情况,并促进了与社区的深入协商。

期刊介绍: Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
