The project's surveys rural bioenergy entrepreneurs, households and key informants in the projects. The purpose of this study is to explore what critical factors to bring about the creation of a new business in the developing rural energy sector by identifying the key drivers and barriers to biogas entrepreneurs and the dissemination approaches of each case’s development project. Using several analytical frameworks, two programs are analyzed, the Biogas Programme and the Vietnamese Women’s Union’s (VWU) energy project, with three separate cases conducted in the northern part of Vietnam. The study highlights drivers and barriers and compares dissemination models to aid future research, while making important recommendations for future rural bioenergy entrepreneurs. |
