Biogas - a sustainable energy source

new possibilities and measures for Slovenia

Matevž Obrecht (Author), Matjaž Denac (Author)

Abstract

In this paper, biogas as a sustainable energy source is examined from economic, environmental and socio-politic points of view. The pros and cons of biogas and the compatibility of biogas as a sustainable energy source within EU directions and goals were examined using a SWOT analysis. Because new technologies for the exploitation of biogas are being rapidly developed and improved, technologies for the exploitation of biogas are identified, analysed and crosscompared. New possibilities, potentials and options for the development of the biogas industry in Slovenia are presented, and the possibilities for biogas exploitation and biogas potential are examined. Measures for the faster and more efficient development of biogas industry and for encouraging biogas exploitation are proposed. Proposals are also made on the basis of comparison of current state of the biogas industry in Slovenia, with current state of the biogas industry in Austria (predominantly Styria) and Sweden (predominantly Östergötland County). Proven effective measures from Austria are analysed and the implementation of the most appropriate and effective measures from Austria is proposed.

Secondary abstract:	V prispevku preučujemo bioplin kot trajnostni vir energije iz ekonomskega, okoljskega in družbeno-političnega vidika. Prav tako preučujemo prednosti in slabosti bioplina s SWOT analizo in testiramo kompatibilnost bioplina, kot trajnostnega vira energije, z smernicami in cilji EU. Ker se nove tehnologije za koriščenje bioplina zelo hitro razvijajo in izboljšujejo, smo identificirali, analizirali in primerjali tehnologije za koriščenje bioplina. Dodatno predstavljamo nove možnosti in potenciale za razvoj industrije bioplina v Sloveniji. Preučene so možnosti za izkoriščanje bioplina in potencial bioplina v Sloveniji. Predlagani so tudi ukrepi za vzpodbujanje rabe bioplina ter za hitrejši in učinkovitejši razvoj industrije bioplina. Predlogi so podani na temelju primerjave stanja na področju bioplina v Sloveniji z stanjem, ukrepi in primeri dobre prakse iz Avstrije (pretežno Štajerske) in Švedske (pretežno okrožja Östergötland). Dokazano učinkovite in uspešne ukrepe iz Avstrije smo analizirali in predlagali njihovo implementacijo v slovenskem prostoru.
