The sustainability of RES projects can also receive the benefits of education because education can empower community inhabitants, making them more knowledgeable of the benefits of the technology and more able to operate and maintain the technologies themselves [71,72]. By having more knowledge about the benefits of RES, communities are more likely to accept and embrace them [73][74][75][76][77][78].…”

“…A demanda energética vem crescendo e a necessidade de buscar fontes alternativas de energias, sejam estas térmica ou elétrica, mostrase cada vez mais relevante. Uma das grandes motivações desta busca deve-se ao fato de que combustíveis fosseis, além de serem recursos não renováveis, são os responsáveis pelo aumento do efeito estufa e chuvas ácidas, já que durante a sua queima ocorre a liberação de dióxidos de carbono e outros gases nocivos para a atmosfera (Shamsuzzoha et al, 2012).…”

Para atingir os objetivos algumas estratégias foram criadas: reduzir a demanda energética, aumentar a eficiência energética e investir em tecnologias de baixa emissão de CO 2 .…”
