Abstract

Dostupnost energetskih sirovina u današnje vrijeme postaje sve veći problem. Ratne i političke neprilike te ograničenost zaliha fosilnih goriva dodatno pridonose porastu cijena i nedostupnosti fosilnih izvora energije. Dio rješenja javlja se u obliku obnovljivih izvora energije, a u ovom diplomskom radu stavljen je naglasak na iskorištavanje poljoprivredne biomase. Jedan od načina iskorištavanja poljoprivredne biomase je kao sirovine za stvaranje energije. Na taj način osim stvaranja energije... More sprečava se nepotrebno gomilanje i zagađenje okoliša neiskorištenim poljoprivrednim ostacima. Analizom primarnih i sekundarnih podataka napravljen je pregled dosadašnjih projekata na temu iskorištavanja biomase. Također utvrđeno je kolike su potencijalne količine poljoprivredne biomase u određenim državama te koji su njihovi glavni izvori. Kao primjer dobre prakse koji pokazuje mogućnost unapređenja obiteljskog poljoprivrednog gospodarstva kroz iskorištenje poljoprivrednih ostataka uzeto je gospodarstvo obitelji Grivičić. Obitelj Grivičić prelaskom s tradicionalne ratarske proizvodnje na proizvodnju agropeleta, postaje poduzeće EURO-TIM d.o.o. koje na inovativan i ekološki način nastoji iskoristiti poljoprivredne ostatke te tako spriječiti gomilanje neiskorištene biomase na svojim poljima. Poslovanje poduzeća EURO-TIM d.o.o. prikazano je pomoću kalkulacije troškova, dok se napredak poslovanja nastalog uvođenjem novih praksi mjerio pokazateljima uspješnosti poslovanja (ekonomičnost i rentabilnost) koji ukazuju na pozitivne učinke uvođenja proizvodnje agropeleta kao načina iskorištavanja biomase u njihovo poslovanje. Prema tome, može se zaključiti kako je primjena dobre prakse na način kao što je to prikazano primjerom, odličan primjer iskorištavanja poljoprivrednih ostataka, sprečavanja nagomilavanja organske tvari i onečišćenja okoliša, stvaranja dodatne dobiti za svoje gospodarstvo te pozitivnog utjecaja na lokalnu zajednicu.

Abstract (english)

The availability of energy resources in today's world is becoming an increasingly significant problem. Conflicts and political instability, as well as limited reserves of fossil fuels, further contribute to rising prices and the inaccessibility of fossil energy sources. Part of the solution comes in the form of renewable energy sources and this graduate thesis focuses on the utilization of agricultural biomass. One way of the utilization of agricultural biomass is by generating energy. This... More not only creates energy but also prevents unnecessary accumulation and environmental pollution from unused agricultural residues. Through the analysis of primary and secondary data this thesis provides an overview of previous projects related to the agricultural biomass utilization. It also identifies the potential quantities of agricultural biomass in specific countries and their primary sources. As an example of best practices that shows the improvement of family farm through the utilization of agricultural residues, the Grivičić family farm is taken as a case study. The Grivičić family, by transitioning from traditional crop production to agro-pellet production, transforms it business in the form of EURO-TIM Ltd., aims to utilize agricultural residues on innovative and environmentally friendly ways and thereby prevent the accumulation of organic biomass in their fields. The business of EURO-TIM d.o.o. is analyzed using cost calculations, while the business performance after the introduction of new practices is measured by indicators (efficiency and profitability), showing the positive effect of introduced changes. After all it could be concluded that the implementation of best practices as demonstrated by the example in this thesis could be an excellent example of how to utilize agricultural residues, prevent the accumulation of organic matter, environmental pollution, generate additional profits for their farm, and have a positive impact on the local community.
