Sažetak
The subject of this paper is the analysis of the possibilities of using biodegradable municipal and agricultural waste in a biogas energy production facility on the island of Krk. The main characteristic of this type of waste is the variable composition. The total amount of municipal waste on the largest Croatian island of Krk is relatively small in comparison to cities. Particularly significant is the high variability of feedstock volumes depending on the period in the year. As a result, the biogas production is unstable and varies on a monthly basis. To overcome that situation a scenario with two cogeneration units was compared to a scenario when only one unit is used. The approach of two units, that operate based on the available biogas inflow, has shown to be more efficient than using a single unit. Net GHG emissions are negative.
