| Title : | ANALYSIS OF THE ENERGY POTENTIAL OF AGRICULTURAL BIOMASS RESIDUES IN MONTENEGRO |
| Abstract : | This paper gave an overview of the energy potential of organic remains from agricultural primary production and waste from livestock production in Montenegro. It has been estimated that approximately 9490 tons of dry mater of agricultural plant production residue is available. Intensive livestock farming results in production of 107.675 tonnes of waste. The estimation of technical energy potential of crop residues amounts about 142.283 GJ (39,56 GWh). The technical potential calculated on the basis of the availability and total animal fund results in total of 298.552 GJ (82,93 GWh) of energy potential. Technical energy potential of agricultural waste is about 440.835 GJ (122,49 GWh) per year. This potential is significantly lower than the theoretical potential. |
