Even when considering the additional production from large hydroelectric plants, which accounts for some 7.8%, the distance to be covered towards the objective of 20% electricity produced from RES by 2010 and respectively towards 20% of total energy production by 2020 is discouraging. The potential, however, does exist; unfortunately so do serious barriers. On the other hand, solid waste management (SWM) is an issue that generates continuously increasing interest due to the extra amounts of solid waste generated; the lack of existing disposal facilities with adequate infrastructure and integrated management plans, also often accompanied by legislative and institutional gaps. However, socio-economic and public awareness problems are still met in the planning and implementation of RES and SWM projects, together with the lack of a complete national cadastre and a spatial development master plan, specifying areas eligible for RES and SWM development. Specific barriers occur for individual RES and the on-going inclusion of waste-derived renewable energy in the examined palette further increases the complexity of the entire issue. The consolidated study of this broad set of barriers was a main task of the present study which was carried out within the frame of a Hellenic\u2014Canadian research project; the main results will be discussed herein.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0734242x10375867","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,7,14]],"date-time":"2010-07-14T20:48:04Z","timestamp":1279140484000},"page":"967-976","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Barriers on the propagation of renewable energy sources and sustainable solid waste management practices in Greece"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"SN","family":"Boemi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece,"}]},{"given":"AM","family":"Papadopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Karagiannidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Kontogianni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Proc.
