Partitioning.

The growing environmental, economic, and social challenges have compelled governments and policymakers to incorporate sustainable energy technologies. However, the development of sustainable energy technologies is hindered by various barriers in emerging economies like China. Although, previous studies attempted to investigate these barriers but there is dearth of studies determining the hierarchy ranking of the barriers. ISM based approach has been developed to fill this research gap by presenting the barriers on the basis of importance level. Through literature survey, fourteen barriers have been identified which were confirmed from expert’s panel. These fourteen barriers are displayed in six layers of ISM hierarchy form from bottom to top which exhibits their ranking on priority base. Findings revealed that high initial cost, longer payback period, and lack of proper financing facilities are major barriers in adopting sustainable energy technologies. However, lack of social acceptance is the least important barrier in sustainable energy technologies. This work will assist companies to better understand the relationships between the barriers which is useful to reduce the barriers strength by implementing effective strategies.

日益严峻的环境、经济与社会挑战，迫使各国政府及政策制定者采纳可持续能源技术。然而，在以中国为代表的新兴经济体中，可持续能源技术的发展却受到诸多阻碍因素的制约。尽管过往已有研究尝试对这些阻碍因素展开探究，但目前仍缺乏针对其层级排序的相关研究。为此，本研究开发了基于解释结构模型（Interpretive Structural Modeling, ISM）的方法，依据重要性层级对阻碍因素进行梳理，以填补这一研究空白。本研究通过文献调研识别出14项阻碍因素，并经专家小组确认。这14项阻碍因素以解释结构模型层级结构的形式被划分为六层，自下而上依次展现其优先级排序。研究结果显示，初始成本高昂、投资回收期过长以及缺乏完善的融资渠道，是采纳可持续能源技术的主要阻碍因素。而社会认可度不足则是最不重要的阻碍因素。本研究可为企业深入理解阻碍因素间的关联关系提供参考，助力企业通过制定有效策略削弱各阻碍因素的负面影响。
