Novel renewable energy technologies in the Middle East and North Africa region can be developed through microgeneration systems aiming to supply local energy demands in a sustainable way. In this study, we carried out a sustainability assessment combining two reputable methodologies which have been applied to a facility comprising a hybrid solar/biomass micro‐cogeneration organic ranking cycle system located in Morocco. We first applied a multiregional input–output analysis where economic issues such as the production of goods and services generated in all project's phases, as well as the added value and employment created, are estimated. Then, environmental impacts were assessed through a life cycle assessment (LCA). In terms of socioeconomic analysis, the total production of goods and services shows a value of 1.18 €₂₀₁₅/kWh. The added value and employment creation were 0.56 €₂₀₁₅/kWh and 0.05 full‐time employees/MWh, respectively. The levelized cost of electricity results in 0.218 €₂₀₁₅/kWh and the multiplier effect amounts to 2.26. The largest increase in sectorial output is produced in the Moroccan electricity sector and the largest job creation takes place in the agriculture sector from the biomass supply. Regarding environmental results, LCA shows a climate change potential of 11.8 g CO₂ eq/kWh_el, of which more than 70% comes from the boiler operation and specifically from the emissions due to biomass transportation. These results can help in promoting micro solar‐biomass systems in Morocco as they identify the socioeconomic and environmental benefits that can counterbalance the higher costs of such systems compared to fossil technologies.

新型微型太阳能热能的可持续性评估：摩洛哥的生物质热电厂

可以通过微型发电系统开发中东和北非地区的新型可再生能源技术，以可持续方式满足当地的能源需求。在这项研究中，我们进行了可持续性评估，结合了两种著名的方法论，这些方法论已应用于位于摩洛哥的包括太阳能/生物质微型热电联产有机排序循环系统的设施。我们首先应用了多区域投入产出分析，在其中评估了经济问题，例如项目各个阶段产生的商品和服务的生产以及增加值和创造的就业机会。然后，通过生命周期评估（LCA）评估环境影响。从社会经济分析的角度来看，商品和服务的总生产价值为1.18€ ₂₀₁₅/ kWh。增加值和创造就业机会分别为0.56€ ₂₀₁₅ / kWh和0.05名全职员工/ MWh。平均成本为0.218€ ₂₀₁₅ / kWh，乘数效应为2.26。摩洛哥电力部门的部门产出增幅最大，而农业部门的生物质能供应增幅最大。关于环境结果，LCA显示的气候变化潜力为11.8 g CO ₂ eq / kWh _el，其中70％以上来自锅炉运行，尤其是来自生物质运输的排放。这些结果有助于在摩洛哥推广微型太阳能生物质系统，因为它们确定了与化石技术相比可以抵消此类系统较高成本的社会经济和环境效益。
