Summary. This study surveyed 310 residents in a rural Hungarian microregion to understand public acceptance of biomass-based renewable energy. The researchers found that trust in local authorities, knowledge about biomass technology, and education level significantly influence whether rural residents support biomass energy projects. The analysis identified distinct acceptance groups that local development strategies should consider when planning renewable energy initiatives in economically disadvantaged rural areas.
