Abstract

Gospodarenje otpadom predstavlja jedan od izazova suvremenog društva u Hrvatskoj i Europi. Bioplinska postrojenja nude održivo rješenje za upravljanje biootpadom, pretvarajući organske tvari u obnovljivu energiju putem anaerobne razgradnje. Nedavni geopolitički događaji, poput rata u Ukrajini, izazvali su poremećaje na energetskim tržištima, dodatno naglasivši potrebu za obnovljivim izvorima energije u čemu bioplinska postrojenja imaju bitnu ulogu. Ipak, rast cijena žitarica tijekom 2022. godine doveo je do povećanja troškova za postrojenja koja se značajno oslanjaju na te sirovine. Ovaj rad, kroz deskriptivnu analizu tržišnih trendova u bioplinskom sektoru i studiju slučaja postrojenja Bioel d.o.o., uz intervju s njegovim predstavnikom, istražuje mogućnosti i izazove za razvoj bioplinskog sektora u Hrvatskoj. Zaključak rada naglašava kako je diversifikacija sirovina usmjerena na troškovno otpornije resurse s manjim cjenovnim oscilacijama, ključni preduvjet dugoročne održivosti bioplinskih postrojenja.

Abstract (english)

Waste management is one of the challenges of modern society in Croatia and Europe. Biogas plants offer a sustainable solution for bio-waste management by converting organic matter into renewable energy through anaerobic digestion. Recent geopolitical events, such as the war in Ukraine, have disrupted energy markets, further highlighting the need for renewable energy sources, in which biogas plants play an essential role. However, the rise in cereal prices in 2022 has led to an increase in costs for plants that rely heavily on these commodities. This paper examines the opportunities and challenges for the development of the biogas sector in Croatia through a descriptive analysis of market trends in the biogas sector and a case study of the Bioel d.o.o. plant and an interview with its representative. The conclusion of the paper emphasizes that feedstock diversification, aiming at more cost-resistant resources with less price volatility, is an important prerequisite for the development of the biogas sector in Croatia.
