Popis: The expanding agri-food industry is highly interested in product and process innovation and acutely aware of climate change’s impact on the sector; however, it has still not seen an energy transformation that could lead to huge savings. These savings could come from energy efficiency and from the total or partial replacement of traditional fuels by renewable technology. Saving energy and using it more efficiently will enable companies in the sector to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, generate wealth, and improve their competitiveness. In this industry, wineries are more innovative than the rest of the sector and they can serve as a model of how adopting energy efficiency and renewable use measures on a small scale can be profitable. The purpose of this study is to discover how willing Spanish wineries are to implement renewable energies in their vineyards and the measures they have taken or plan to take to improve their energy efficiency.
