Introduction
Green Economy is a new model of economic development.
RE can be defined as a free source of sustainable energy, such as wind or solar energy that produces no negative impacts during conversion process like the emission of hazardous substances.
Each RE type is limited by the inherent characteristics of the energy source.
Intermittency, variability, and maneuverability require effective management and control.
RE resources
Biomass
Hydropower/Tidal/Waves
Geothermal
Wind
Solar

4. RE Supply Chain
The elements of RE supply chain include the physical, information, and financial flows.
Technology is a key success factor to improve efficiency and to innovate the distribution network.
In terms of demand, the commercialization of RE would be an important step to replace traditional fossil energy.
The RE supply chain links the source of energy with other applications.

8. Renewable energy supply chain issues
The performance of RE supply chain relates to its conversion efficiency which includes storage, distribution, efficiency and secondary applications efficiencies.

9. Cont. Renewable energy supply chain issues
Conversion efficiency, considered as a key indicator for the use of a given energy resource, differs among the RE types
Technology (Storage systems)
Barriers to renewable energy development :
Conversion cost
Location selection
Distribution network
Commercialization barriers

10. Improving the renewable energy supply chain
Involvement of the government and researchers (Incentives, rebates, tax compensation)
Commercializing the use of renewable energy (affordable)
Selecting storage technologies
Realizing the value of renewable energies
Distribution network (Smart grids , distributed energy networks )

11. Methodology
The use of appropriate metrics for determining the goodness of
an energy system is a critical phase of decision making.
Mathematic Model, Multi-Criteria Analysis and Cost Analysis
are used for the localization of plants and for the choice
between a centralized or decentralized solution.
Analysis Cost-Benefit, Net Present Value, Internal Rate of
Return, Payback Period, Waste Valorization, CO2 Emissions
Avoided are the indicators used for financial, social, economic
and environmental results.

13. Conclusion
Improvement of distribution networks and the development of advanced storage technology are the recommended strategies for the further development of RE.
The identified barriers are the conversion cost, location constraints, complex distribution networks and other considerable barriers.
There is a limited use of quantitative methodologies for the correct choice of energy policies.
