One of the main goals for sustainable development of a country is providing
sustainable energy resources, which means satisfying the current needs for
energy without compromising the future generations. Moreover, sustainable
energy resources primarily involve greater inclusion of renewable energy
sources. The biomass is the most widely used renewable energy source, mainly
because of its relatively low price and its availability. However, in order
for the biomass to stay a renewable energy source, it must be used rationally
and with a plan, which primarily requires a detailed analysis of the current
situation and resources. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to calculate the
optimal utilization of biomass in energy purposes, taking into account the
sustainable development of a country. As an example, in this paper Macedonia
is considered. A detailed analysis of the data sources related to biomass is
made and several different indicators that describe the current situation in
Macedonia are presented. Furthermore, several scenarios are defined in this
paper in order to calculate the optimal share of biomass in the overall
energy mix in Macedonia for the next 20 years, using the MARKAL model. |
