Agricultural biogas plants – a systematic analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats / Brudermann, Thomas; Mitterhuber, Corinna ; Posch, Alfred   Article
Brudermann, Thomas Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In this paper, we discuss the prospects of agricultural biogas plants. We conducted an integrated SWOT–AHP analysis for such plants in Austria in order to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT factors), and to weight the factors identified based on expert judgments, calculated according to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The results show that financial aspects are dominant in three of the four SWOT categories. Technological aspects and issues regarding utilization seem to play a relatively minor role. Factors that are not directly under the control of plant operators are currently perceived as crucial for the success of agricultural biogas plants. We conclude that such plants will only succeed in contributing to sustainable energy supply goals when economic and political conditions are favorable over the long term.

Do public programs in 'energy regions' affect citizen attitudes / Hatzl, Stefanie; Brudermann, Thomas; Reinsberger, Kathrin; Posch, Alfred   Journal Article
Brudermann, Thomas Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract In this paper we analyze the effect of regional and municipal measures for promoting energy transition on citizen attitudes and behavior. We compare one township that has successfully implemented a comprehensive and systematic energy-saving program (the so-called e5 program) with a township without such a program. The results indicate that despite the program×s ambitious aims, e5 implementation has almost no impact on citizen attitudes and behavior. In fact, there are some signs that it might even have slight negative side effects.
