Diverse interpretations enabling the continuity of community renewable energy projects: A case study of a woody biomass project in rural area of Japan

Kazuki Horiuchi · 2018 · Local Economy The Journal of the Local Economy Policy Unit

Summary. A Japanese woody biomass project sustained itself for over a decade by allowing members with different motivations to interpret project goals flexibly. Rather than enforcing strict quantitative targets, the project succeeded through diverse social interactions and collaborative practices. This flexibility enabled each member to define success according to their own values and contributions, creating multiple interpretations that ultimately strengthened the project's resilience and long-term viability.
