Analysis of stakeholder perception and risk governance requirements.
When integrating power-to-gas (PtG) in the biogas sector (BGS), it is essential to consider how risk is perceived and handled since it influences technology uptake, acceptance, and legitimacy. In this study, we aimed to identify factors that determine how risks are managed in the BGS grounded on stakeholders’ perceptions of environmental and safety risks, and the socio-political, technological, and economic challenges associated with the adoption of PtG in this industry. This project was financed by the Ministry of Science and Arts in the State of Baden-Württemberg (MWK) under the framework of the Bioeconomy BW Research Program.
