| Title : | ASPECTS OF USING POTENTIAL ENERGY PRODUCTS OF BIOMASS AFTER PRUNING FRUIT AND GRAPE PLANTATIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA |
| Abstract : | Contemporary technologies of fruit and vine production imply conducting intensive plantation pruning, and so significant amount of biomass appear with ecological and energetic importance. Thermal energy use of biomass residues as pruning is important from the point of view of environmental protection, the closed cycle of production and emission and consumption of emission CO2. Remains of pruning the orchards are burden that hinders the implementation of agricultural practices so that their removal is necessary. Limited reserves of fossil fuels and pollution of the environment imposes the necessity of finding alternative and renewable sources of energy while reducing environmental pollution. Very current problem is to define the optimal technical solutions and technologies for utilization of machine pruning fruit trees and vines, you know increases the energy efficiency of production. Outdated technology, extensive production and disposal of inefficient energy in our country collecting, preparing and using plants remains is not enough application. A prerequisite for the study of the economic feasibility of using pruning remains present data on the quantity, energy potential, workmanship, transport ability, price, convenience for storage, preservation and combustion. The most important starting point for this research is defining energy potential pruning residues annually. The Republic of Serbia has approximately 600,000 t wood biomass from fruit and grape plantations. Modern burning methods of wood biomass, like different types of wood pellets or classic firewood, enable highly efficient usage of energy; have minimum emissions CO2 of harmful substances and comfortable heating in domestic. High investment expenses, making subventions from public and government sources indispensable, hinder their introduction. |
