Title The Creation Of Bioenergy Villages In Southeastern Europe - Results From The Bio-Vill Project In Macedonia And Slovenia
Year 2018
Published
Abstract Many Southeast European countries have high biomass potentials, but they are often not or only inefficiently used for local energy supply and regional economic development. The creation of bioenergy villages can facilitate the promotion of local biomass production and use. A bioenergy village is a village, municipality, settlement or community or a part of it which produces and uses most of its energy demand from local biomass sources as well as from other renewable energy sources. The objective of the EU Horizon 2020 funded project BioVill is to support the development of regional bioenergy concepts and the establishment of bioenergy villages in Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. In these countries, suitable biomass value chains are identified, and the market uptake of bioenergy technologies is supported, taking local and regional needs into consideration. Important is the local sourcing of biomass in order to add value for the local and regional economy. A key focus of the BioVill project is on the support of seven selected target villages on their way to become bioenergy villages. Thereby, experiences gained in Austria, Germany and other European countries are transferred to the South-Eastern European partners. After two years of BioVill project implementation, concrete bioenergy projects are proposed in the target villages and their technical and economical feasibility was assessed. To present this process, the paper describes in more detail the proposed bioenergy projects in two BioVill target villages, namely in Kichevo in Macedonia and in Dole pri Litiji in Slovenia.
