Findings highlight that while individual factors like trust in local partners and the aspirational value of stoves are critical, structural elements such as government policy and the role of the private sector significantly shape the sector's trajectory.

While there is a general consensus that energy consumption in the Basque Country is too high and fossil fuels are scarce, significant gaps exist between decision-makers and potential drivers of change.
