Urban areas serve as a vital contribution to the global structural change towards renewable and sustainable energy technologies which also influence climate change. The aim of this paper is to identify the adoption roadblocks to renewable and sustainable urban energy technologies. This research has three parts: a mini-systematic literature study was conducted to identify the most prevalent roadblocks. Using total interpretive structural modeling (ISM), the relationships between the roadblocks and the source of causation were then examined. The roadblocks are classified based on their dependence and driving powers using MICMAC analysis in the third part of this research. The principal results and major conclusions demonstrate that all roadblocks are necessary for renewable and sustainable urban energy technologies. The roadblocks at level I are insufficient infrastructure, lack of coordination among authorities, lack of quality and reliable data and information, and competition with non-renewable technologies; roadblocks in level II are lack of skilled and trained personnel, limited public participation, awareness, and consumer interest, and lack of standardized technology; roadblock in level III is high initial investment cost; and lastly, roadblocks in level IV are lack of subsidies and financial support programs and absence of coherent related policies. Furthermore, as a result of the MICMAC analysis, none of the aforementioned roadblocks are classified as autonomous variables, implying that they are all required. The dependent roadblocks to renewable and sustainable energy technologies are defined as lack of coordination among authorities, lack of information, and competition with non-renewable technologies. Moreover, linkage roadblocks have high dependence and driving powers which are insufficient infrastructure, limited awareness and consumer interest, and lack of standardized technology. Lastly, high initial investment costs, lack of subsidies and financial support programs, absence of coherent related policies, and lack of skilled and trained personnel are the driving roadblocks with high driving power however not dependent.
城市地区是全球向可再生和可持续能源技术转变的重要贡献者，也会影响气候变化。本文的目的是确定可再生和可持续城市能源技术的采用障碍。本研究分为三个部分：首先进行了小型系统文献研究，以确定最常见的障碍；然后使用总解释结构模型（ISM）检查障碍与因果来源之间的关系；最后在本研究的第三部分，根据依赖关系和驱动力对障碍进行分类。主要结果和主要结论表明，所有障碍对可再生和可持续城市能源技术都是必要的。一级障碍包括基础设施不足、当局之间缺乏协调、缺乏质量可靠的数据和信息以及与不可再生技术的竞争；二级障碍包括缺乏熟练和训练有素的人员、公众参与、意识和消费者兴趣有限以及缺乏标准化技术；三级障碍是初始投资成本高；最后，四级障碍是缺乏补贴和财政支持计划以及缺乏连贯的相关政策。此外，由于 MICMAC 分析，上述障碍均未被归类为自主变量，这意味着它们都是必需的。可再生和可持续能源技术的从属障碍是当局之间缺乏协调、信息缺乏以及与不可再生技术的竞争。此外，联系障碍具有高的依赖度和驱动力，其表现为基础设施不足、意识和消费者兴趣有限以及缺乏标准化技术。最后，高初始投资成本、缺乏补贴和财政支持计划、缺乏连贯的相关政策以及缺乏熟练和训练有素的人员是具有高驱动力但不依赖的驱动障碍。
