Key Topics in Energy and Renewable Sources

Serbia's potential for energy stability through the use of biomass and circular economy is immense, considering its rich natural resources, agricultural and wood residues, and the possibility of transforming municipal and commercial waste – currently underutilized – into sustainable energy sources. Developing these sectors could significantly reduce Serbia's dependence on fossil fuels, enhance ecological sustainability, and create new jobs. The implementation of a circular economy further contributes to waste reduction and more efficient resource use, resulting in greater energy efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Utilizing municipal and commercial waste for energy production not only helps solve waste issues but also contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment.

How does Serbia plan to leverage biomass, municipal, and commercial waste to achieve energy stability? What are the specific examples of successful projects in Serbia? How can government regulations and legislative frameworks support the use of biomass, municipal, and commercial waste for achieving energy stability in Serbia?
