“…Other studies point out the importance of not using virgin wood for the production of biofuels. Branislav and Luki (2012) highlight the obsolete and inefficient system of using renewable resources in Serbia. This issue is often the same in other European and world countries, where wasteful use and disposal of biomass as well as deficient appropriate combustion technologies persist too (Jetter and Kariher 2009;Maccarty et al 2010).…”

In accordance with sustainable economic and social development, Europe supports the use of energy from renewable sources to decrease the use of fossil fuels. Among renewable energy sources, wood, especially production wood waste from the supply chain, represents an exploitable source in line with a circular economy development. In this context, processing of residues produced by wood companies becomes an important resource. This work deals with the possible energy recovery of glued wood wastes. Two solid biofuels were produced from glued wood wastes: pellets and briquettes. They have been produced in collaboration with a local company and analyzed according to the applicable EN ISO international standards. The results were compared with the limits imposed by the standards in order to identify their quality class and their applicability to the current market. The amount of adhesive present in the wood wastes does not negatively affect the intrinsic characteristics of the material that is suitable for the production of solid biofuels. In addition, the amount of wood waste containing cross-linked polyurethane was calculated in order not to compromise the quality of solid biofuels made therefrom.

“…Production of biomass and waste wood may be successful in a micro and macro way. The average bulk density of oak in the dried state is 750 kg/m 3 with the average calorific power of 14,444.46 kJ/kg [35][36][37][38]. Calorific power of dried oak is obtained from the product of average volume trick weight and a verage calorific power, therefore caloric power of 1 m 3 of dried oak is 14,444.46 kJ/kg x 750 kg/m 3 = 10,833,345 kJ/m 3 .…”

The subject of this paper is to present an investigation of renewable energy potential in one small municipality in south Serbia. Serbia has a relatively small area but a large number of renewable energy resources. This energy is divided into solar, wind, geothermal and waste wood. One municipality on the south east has very large potential for the renewable energy utilization. The municipality of Kuršumlija has an area of 952 km 2 but with poor dense of the population. In this municipality we have one of the most powerful resources of the renewable energy, estimated on 118.5 MWt. With the help of different methods such as GIS (Geographical Information System), numerical and geo-statistical analyses, were analyzed total capacity of the renewable energy. Other relevant documents are the municipality strategy documents, satellite recordings, cadaster data, analogue plans and maps. The estimated capacity of geothermal energy with included 23 springs may reach 25.5 MWt. The waste wood estimated capacity is may reach 1123.5 TJ/year or 35.6 MWt. The solar potential may reach 1810.8 Tj/year or 57.4 MWt. The main goal of this research is to present renewable energy potential of the municipality and compare it with dirty kinds of energy. Other goals are to present benefits and advantages of the utilization of renewable energy sources. This research is also important to present to the broader readership and it can be the start initiative for deeper investigation of renewable energy resources.

“…Peric et al (Peric, Komatina, Bugarski, & Antonijevic, 2016) highlighted the potential benefits of using the "Life Cycle Assessment" tool in energy sector for rational energy consumption with special emphasis on the possibility of practicing this approach in Serbia in terms of proving the environmental suitability of biomass as an energy source (electricity production and heating). Djercan et al (Djercan, Lukic, Bubalo-Zivkovic, Djurdjev, Stojisavljevic, & Pantelic, 2012) provided an overview and an analysis of the possibilities, ecological and economic advantages of utilisation of wood waste as a renewable source of energy and the problems faced by the Serbian producers. Glavonjic et al (Glavonjic, Pisek, & Jovic, 2015) defined an adequate methodological concept aimed at obtaining primarily relevant and reliable data on woody biomass potential and consumption.…”
