Abstract:
The main purpose of this work is to present a strategic analysis of the bioenergy sector in the western Balkan region, namely Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, FYROM, Montenegro and Serbia, as well as Moldova and Ukraine and evaluate the factors that hinder or foster future development. The study firstly reviews the renewables & the bioenergy sector in the countries based on national level information for biomass supply and use and then provides a coherent analysis for the opportunities and threats of the bioenergy & biofuels sectors at national and regional levels. The results show that biomass is the dominant RES in the region and is widely used for heating in the residential sector. However, despite the good potential and favourable geopolitical conditions further development of the bioenergy sector will require harmonisation of efforts concerning the development of a favourable legislative framework and support mechanisms and the development of coherent statistics at local administrative level.
