ABSTRACT
Given the importance of renewable energy as it provides alternative energy sources over the traditional fossil fuel that is environmentally friendly, clean and renewable, this research aims to explore scholarly articles and books that present and investigate the challenges and barriers facing the implementation of renewable energy sources in Libya where the social, cultural, financial and awareness aspects are an important consideration against renewable energy. This study contains a review of all relevant, peer-reviewed, and published articles from journals, websites, books, conference proceedings and bulletins. An extensive literature review was carried out with the aim of researching renewable energy in Libya. This was done to take a realistic perspective of the community and the knowledge services accessible. The review of literature has shown that further renew-
ables energy research remains necessary as the current conditions of the energy sector in Libya need to be examined to understand the challenges and difficulties to introduce renewable energy within competent authorities and businesses are examined in accordance with their managers. This indicates the need to conduct various studies in Libya to explore the various challenges, mostly financial and technological, that face the purposeful implementation of renewable energy resources in Libya. Additionally, the level of awareness and culture perception of the use of renewable energy is an important aspect to be considered as reported as barriers affecting the implementation of renewable energy in various parts of the world.

Bariery i wyzwania stojące przed wdrożeniem energii odnawialnej w Libii: przegląd
energia alternatywna, wdrażanie energii odnawialnej, bariery i wyzwania
Biorąc pod uwagę znaczenie energii odnawialnej, zapewniającej alternatywną energię w stosunku do tradycyjnych paliw kopalnych, która jest przyjazna dla środowiska, czysta i odnawialna, niniejsze badanie ma na celu przegląd artykułów naukowych i książek, które przedstawiają i badają wyzwania i bariery stojące przed wdrożeniem odnawialnych źródeł energii w Libii, gdzie aspekty społeczne, kulturowe, finansowe i świadomościowe są ważnymi czynnikami, które nie sprzyjają energii odnawialnej. Niniejszy artykuł obejmuje przegląd wszystkich istotnych, recenzowanych i opublikowanych artykułów z czasopism, stron internetowych, książek, materiałów konferencyjnych i biuletynów. Obszerny przegląd literaturowy ma na celu zbadanie statusu energii odnawialnej w Libii. Takie spojrzenie pozwala uzyskać realistyczny pogląd na ocenę zagadnienia przez społeczeństwo oraz na dostępne w tym zakresie usługi. Wykazano, że niezbędne są dalsze badania w zakresie energii odnawialnej. Aby zrozumieć wyzwania i trudności we wdrażaniu odnawialnych źródeł energii, jakie stoją przed właściwymi organami, przedsiębiorstwami i ich kierownictwem, trzeba szerzej zapoznać się z warunkami funkcjonowania sektora energetycznego w Libii. Wskazuje to na potrzebę przeprowadzenia różnych analiz w celu zbadania wyzwań, głównie finansowych i technologicznych, utrudniających wdrażanie użytkowania energii odnawialnej w Libii. Ponadto, poziom świadomości i kulturowego postrzegania wykorzystania energii odnawialnej są
ważnymi uwarunkowaniami, które należy uznać za bariery mające wpływ na wdrażanie energii odnawialnej w różnych częściach świata także w Libii.
