Report on social acceptance study and impacts on energy security

The aim of D7.3 is to present an overview of the anticipated social opposition, which will include a guideline on how planning and usage actions related to this technology can increase the likelihood of social acceptance. In order to do so, surveys and qualitative interviews will be carried out with relevant stakeholder groups. The analysis of the collected data will be conducted through known frameworks for other renewable energy technologies, why the only critical element is the selection of respondents and the validation of the collected data. D.7.3 will moreover focus on the impact on energy security for energy consumers after implementation of the technology. The analysis of this part will depend on the information gathered on the expected efficiency, as the entire project is aiming at a contribution to a stable energy supply. The technology will therefore be assessed in terms of availability and efficiency, and further analyzed follow standard principles of energy security.
