Instead of being conserved, TPP Kolubara A and TPP Morava might use biomass – EPS commissions analysis of availability of resources

Elektroprivreda Srbije has opened the tender for the analysis of the availability of biomass for the needs of combustion in power plants.

According to the project task, a study needs to be prepared which would provide an overview of the potential of biomass in Serbia and the possibility of its use for the needs of EPS AD.

It is said that the biomass resource in Serbia is estimated at 3.405 million tons of oil equivalent. Biomass comprises 61% of the total potentials of renewable energy sources. The available quantity of wood mass, which is mostly present in central Serbia, is 1.53 million tons of oil equivalent, whereas agricultural biomass (residue from crop, livestock and fruit farming, viticulture and primary fruit processing) is available in Vojvodina and its potential amounts to around 1.67 million tons of oil equivalent, but the degree of its utilization is no bigger than 2%.

The tender is open until January 13, and more details (in Serbian) can be found HERE.

Let us remind that, at the end of October, Elektroprivreda Srbije opened the tender for the preparation of a preliminary solution for the needs of the conservation, preparation and submission of the request on the necessity of an environmental impact assessment of the termination of the operations of the TPPs Kolubara and Morava.
