The use of renewable energy sources has become increasingly important in recent years for environmental, economic, and geopolitical reasons. The recent pandemic of Covid-19 and the Russian-Ukrainian war have both disrupted energy security and exacerbated the need for energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables. In order for this transition to be successful, public awareness and social acceptance on renewable markets is necessary. This research attempts an assessment of public awareness, drawing on Anglophone literature on the issue. It utilizes different examples of markets around the globe to observe the public’s behavior on renewables and the variables that influence it. The geographical division of this thesis is in conversation with geopolitics and the particularities of territoriality. Through this research, the different reasons why renewable resources may be accepted or resisted can be seen. Conclusions on previous research and comparative observations are also recorded.
