Session II, what measures need to be taken for deploying renewable energy?
Economic, technological, regulatory or societal factors are impeding the development of renewable energies. Beyond technological obstacles, several actions have to be undertaken: assessment of the cost-benefit of new uses, design of new economic tools and suitable business models, improve in the diffusion processes of innovation. To what extent can these new products and services be adopted by users? What are the governance processes enabling the deployment of these systems? What new forms of organisation are needed to ensure effective operation?
