Abstract
At the beginning of the 21st century, sustainability based solutions became increasingly important in local economic development, and further growth of these developments and innovative investments is expected. Two of the three basic (economic, ecological and socio-cultural) functions of rural areas are in close relationship with the renewable energy production and consumption. The essence of
economic function is the marketable (mainly agricultural) production, which involves the diversification of activities, technical development and innovations, and alternative economic production forms, emphatically renewable energy innovations, and biomass based energy production. The ecological function of these areas means the protection of environment and natural values avoiding pollution. The importance of social function is reflected in the acceptance and understanding of local society. In addition to theoretical approaches, the knowledge and collection of local resources are important tasks. This paper examines the basic potentials of solar, biomass and geothermal energy sources in the South Transdanubian Region and INTERREG HUHR areas and presents some case studies about the different possibilities of renewable energy based development paths.
