J. Doinac: SADAŠNJA I BUDUĆA PROIZVODNJA ENERGIJI- IZ BIOMASE ŠUMSKOG PORIJEKLA Šumarski list br. I 1-12. CXXI1 (1998). 507-5 13 existing and potential development; technological advances and knowledge which have recently accumulated on many aspects ofbiomass energy. Recently launched, national energy program BIOEN (Biomass and Waste Use Program) has the aim of providing permanent care for the use ofbiomass and waste for energy production and environment protection. The Program has a long - term character and will be based on the positive experiences of inland experts and of those European Union countries that have realised similar programs with success. This program plans to use wood waste, straw, agricultural crops, crop residues, animal waste, municipal waste and other primary biomass sources as well as processed biomass like liquid (biodiesel, ethanol, methanol) and gaseous (biogas, methane) fuels for energy production, traffic purposes or as a base in chemical industry. The Energy Strategy of the Republic of Croatia has considered three different scenarios. First of them (SI, "low ") was based on slow introduction of advanced technologies and does not include any governmental support. Second scenario (S2, "moderate ") includes stronger concerted policy for introduction of new technologies, use ofrenewables and increasing energy efficiency. Finally, third scenario (S3, "high ") is "very environmental" scenario and comprises that problem with pollution and greenhouse effects will significantly affect energy policy in Croatia already in 2010. All scenarios have the same rate of economical growth, economy structure and number of consumers, but not the same consumption rate. The main differences are in level of governmental support, which influence the use ofrenewables, dynamics of advanced technologies penetration and care for energy efficiency. Unlike other renewables, bioenergy has significant position in all scenarios. This is due to long tradition and experience ofbiomass use in Croatia as well as large biomass potential. The principal parameters of the scenarios related to biomass use are: current and additional biomass resources, potential user sectors, assessment of the energy demand, and assumption on the type of energies per sector abandoned in favour of bioenergy. The scenarios differ most significantly in the structure of different technologies for biomass utilisation, in the electricity generation from biomass and in the penetration ofbiofuels in transport. This paper deals with present and future energy production from forestry biomass (fuel wood, forestry residues and wood waste). Forestry biomass is recognised as most important source of bioenergy and has significant place in all analysed scenarios. Key words: forestry biomass, energy production, energy scenario |
