Abstract
This article examines the acceptance of renewable energy in the adoption of the climate package, taking into account the GREEN consumer values among consumers in Poland. The research problem addressed in this paper relates to the measurement of consumer values in terms of the GREEN concept; specifically, consumer acceptance of the available offerings provided by real businesses. In addition, consumer needs are important in terms of ensuring the acceptance of renewable energy, which will create opportunities for its production in the context of the Fit 55 climate package. The study formulates some research questions and hypotheses to justify the concept with empirical data by applying statistical tests. The study is presented in several sections with a detailed presentation of secondary and primary data. The main outcome of the research is based on the primary data using a structured survey questionnaire administered in Poland and 557 collected samples. Nowadays, the responsibility also lies with consumers, as green consumption will entail green production. The research concludes that Poland’s consumers have a good level of acceptance of RES, based on the current green energy situation of Poland, which may lead to sustainability and will benefit policy makers in government, corporations and end consumers.
Highlights
Academic Editor: Donato MoreaPoland has a specific historical dependence on coal energy
This outcome relied on the use of the six GREEN consumer values items with the five renewable energy sources—Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal, and Biomass
Poland is a land of abundance of natural resources for renewable energy generation, meaning that it is capable of participating in the European Union (EU)’s mission to implement its climate package commitment
Summary
Poland has a specific historical dependence on coal energy. Transformation toward renewable energy is very difficult and costly. The government of Poland is working to ensure that the investment of the Just Transition Fund (JTF) is in the area of transformational developments. As per the study conducted in Poland on the main sources of electricity in the future, fossil fuel dependency, mainly on coal and gas, will continue until 2040 [1]. Proportional changes in fossil fuel use will be visible, with the concentration of fossil fuel emission sources tensing towards zero between the present and 2040, including the implementation of all common renewable energy sources [1]. Data analyzed by NASA indicated that the increasing concentration levels of carbon components, mostly carbon dioxide, need to be addressed.
