Abstract

The introduction of a new energy technology requires widespread commitment and acceptance from diverse stakeholder groups, ranging from local communities to broader socio-political dimensions. Proactively, this study investigates the multi-level acceptance of a new energy technology before its introduction, specifically the chemical storage of solar energy. Through an explanatory literature review, the study synthesizes factors influencing stakeholder acceptance, drawing insights from technologies sharing similar characteristics, including energy source, system application, and chemical composition such as solar power, nanotechnology, and hydrogen electrolysis. The study offers a dual contribution: identifying nine factors that could promote or inhibit acceptance applicable to the new energy storage technology and presenting 18 stakeholder entities. Recommended stakeholder management strategies are provided for each entity across development and implementation stages. The findings illuminate stakeholder management complexities, socio-political opposition, market acceptance, and community integration. Policymakers and industry leaders can leverage this study to navigate new technology implementation risks and opportunities from a stakeholder acceptance standpoint.
