Urban areas serve as a vital contribution to the global structural change towards renewable and sustainable energy technologies which also influence climate change. The aim of this paper is to identify the adoption roadblocks to renewable and sustainable urban energy technologies. This research has three parts: a mini-systematic literature study was conducted to identify the most prevalent roadblocks. Using total interpretive structural modeling (ISM) the relationships between the roadblocks and the source of causation were then examined. The roadblocks are classified based on their dependence and driving powers using MICMAC analysis in the third part of this research. The principal results and major conclusions demonstrate that all roadblocks are necessary for renewable and sustainable urban energy technologies. The roadblocks at level I are insufficient infrastructure lack of coordination among authorities lack of quality and reliable data and information and competition with non-renewable technologies, roadblocks in level II are lack of skilled and trained personnel limited public participation awareness and consumer interest and lack of standardized technology, roadblock in level III is high initial investment cost, and lastly roadblocks in level IV are lack of subsidies and financial support programs and absence of coherent related policies. Furthermore as a result of the MICMAC analysis none of the aforementioned roadblocks are classified as autonomous variables implying that they are all required. The dependent roadblocks to renewable and sustainable energy technologies are defined as lack of coordination among authorities lack of information and competition with non-renewable technologies. Moreover linkage roadblocks have high dependence and driving powers which are insufficient infrastructure limited awareness and consumer interest and lack of standardized technology. Lastly high initial investment costs lack of subsidies and financial support programs absence of coherent related policies and lack of skilled and trained personnel are the driving roadblocks with high driving power however not dependent.

Exploring barriers to smart and sustainable circular economy: The case of an automotive eco-cluster

The transition process from linear economy to circular economy (CE) has brought many challenges and barriers. The three core concepts which are smartness sustainability and circularity need to be intertwined and adapted by companies to overcome these barriers. Based on this intertwined structure this paper presents the concept of Smart and Sustainable Circular Economy (SSCE) at the macro-level and addresses the barriers of SSCE under four main aspects: technology producers consumers and policy. Moreover these four aspects are investigated for small and medium-sized enterprises of an Eco-Cluster in the automotive industry. The fuzzy DEMATEL method is used to uncover analyse and discuss the influencing and affected SSCE barriers critically. Finding these SSCE barriers gives an insight into the underlying problems of CE practices as the only way to ensure an opportunity to achieve SSCE goals is to overcome them. The principal results show that problems of ownership issues in an Eco-Cluster lack of governmental support and administrative burden and lack of effective execution of environmental regulations are found as causal barriers that are difficult to change. Furthermore lack of integration and collaboration among supply chain partners ineffective CE framework adoption and product complexity for CE principles are classified as effect barriers that are easily affected by the other factors and the implications can be shown in the short-term. Besides the cooperation between supply chain partners can be encouraged to provide a solution to the lack of integration and collaboration between supply chain partners and the adoption of an ineffective CE framework.
