Greenhouse gases emissions and possibilities for reduction using biomass for energy in Croatia

Combustion of fossil fuels is the main cause for the build-up of the COĄ2 in the earth's atmosphere. Additional emissions come from changes in land use, mainly deforestation. This paper deals with evaluation of bioenergy systems contribution in fulfilling obligations from Kyoto for Croatia. Emissions are calculated for various biomass energy scenarios in Croatia to the year 2030. These results are a part of analysis carried out within BIOEN Program activities and work on recently published document "The Energy Strategy of the Republic of Croatia". The given results indicate that bioenergy systems have significant, so far not fully exploited, yet limited possibilities to reduce GHG emissions and help achieving Kyoto targets.
