Abstract
Techno-economic, Social and Environmental Assessment of Biomass Based District Heating in a Bioenergy Village
Highlights
Villages and communities today support the idea of local energy supply and join the energy transition in their countries
A bioenergy village approach has not been applied in Macedonia yet, and it is at a nascent stage of implementation in other South-Eastern European countries
This work aims to integrate a techno-economic, social and environmental assessment and an implementation strategy into a bioenergy village concept, which is not often seen in works dedicated to bioenergy villages and biomass based heating systems
Summary
Villages and communities today support the idea of local energy supply and join the energy transition in their countries. Year 2019 Volume 7, Issue 4, pp 601-614 as a village, municipality, settlement or community, which produces and uses most of its energy from local bioenergy and other renewable energy sources [2]. Biomass, could be given a role as one of the most important renewable energy sources for the future low carbon economy, whose increased domestic consumption, compliant to certain sustainability criteria, positively contributes to the energy security. The utilization of biomass residues as a feedstock for renewable heating systems is increasing [6, 7]. Biomass residues from forests have great potential for energy use [8, 9] and are considered economically viable, e.g. in South-eastern European countries [10]. The variety of biomass based technologies conduces to the actualization of sustainable development at the local level, and simultaneously, gives local communities the power to submit valuable contributions towards the global Paris agreement [13]
