Abstract
Diffusion and development of renewable energy utilization is one of the main energy policies of the today governments. Among different renewable energy sources, biomass has important capacities for utilization. While some countries are successful in exploiting biomass resources for bio-energy production, many other countries are still in the early stages of development or have not had successful results in their policies. Therefore, understanding policies and successful strategies of the early adopters can help new entrants to formulate and implement the effective development plans. The purpose of this study is to analyze the policies and strategies for the diffusion and commercialization of bioenergy in successful case countries. According to the statistics, Netherlands, Argentina, and Portugal, which have had the most and successful growth in bioenergy production in the last 10 years. Therefore, we focused on mentioned cases and analyzed their commercialization process and diffusion of bioenergy technologies. Our results show that diversification of bioenergy sources and geographical conditions, development of high-tech conversion plants, formulation and implementation of appropriate policies and plans, and the development of users’ and technology developers’ knowledge are the most important factors for success in the utilization and commercialization of bioenergy technologies.
