AB - The paper provides a high level scene setting analysis to understand the policy and legislative framework in which the diffusion of bioenergy takes place in Greece and local level analysis of the perceptions of the key stakeholders within the local community of Rodopi, in the northern part of the country. It is divided into six sections. Firstly the framework conditions for biomass heat and electricity generation in Greece are presented. In the second section the policy context is set in order to identify the key support mechanisms for bioenergy in the country. The third section presents an outline of the diffusion of bioenergy in terms of key groups involved as well as key factors affecting the planning and implementation of a bioenergy scheme at local/ regional and national levels. The fourth section reviews the perception of key stakeholders towards bioenergy/biofuels schemes at national level based on national networks. The fifth section focuses on a case study region (Rodopi, northern Greece) and provides an in- depth analysis for the perception of the main local actors (farmers and end users) based on structured questionnaire interviews. The final section provides the main conclusions from the surveys and draws a set of recommendations for the integration of bioenergy schemes into the Greek energy system.
