Abstract:
The results of this study show that indigenous Serbian biomass feedstocks could make a significant contribution to meet the increasing national primary energy demand. The technical potential of forest based biomass is estimated at 31,62 PJ, with 2,79 PJ comprising of forest residues. If 50% of this resource could supply medium scale CHP installations (5 MWe +) this would result to an installed capacity around 19 MWe. If the remaining 50% of the forest residues could be used for co-firing, this would result in the production of 136 ‘green’ GWh within existing solid fuel power facilities. The technical potential of arboricultural residues is estimated at 5,47 PJ, respectively. The theoretical biogas potential from livestock is estimated at 23,68 PJ. If 30% of this is exploited the installed capacity would be 102 MWe. Straw technical potential is estimated at 51,36 PJ. If 15% of this could be directed to large scale central straw fired units the total installed capacity would be around 119 MWe. Additionally, it is assumed that another 15% could be exploited via local small scale straw bale fired boilers or straw pellet boilers supplying residential properties with heat.
