SLIDE 10 Belgrade, 19.02.2014 10 DKTI Bioenergy Serbia
Collection and logistics of agro-biomass (straw)
- Straw collection and logistic usually done with old tractors and balers by local farmers
- Straw sold to local companies for heating and drying of cereals
- Straw and corn cobs collected by farmers for household and farm heating

Serbian Energy law and feed-in tariff for biomass
The energy policy of Serbia is defined by the Energy Law considering the promotion of using renewable energy sources. On 20.11.2009 feed-in tariffs for renewable energy had been adopted. The provisions entered in to force on 1.1.2010. Amendments to the feed-in tariffs are expected for next periods. The feed-in tariff for biomass is shown in the table below Installed capacity in MW Tariff c€/1kWh

Assessment results: Legal framework, standards for collection and logistics as well as incentives for agro-biomass production are insufficient or do not exist. Recommendations Establishment of a working group on national and regional level for transfer of EU legislation Collaboration with the Provincial Secretariat for Energy and Mineral Resources (PSEMR) and their intentions to prepare a renewable energy Master Plan for Vojvodina Considering the quite unique agricultural framework conditions in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina with dominance of agricultural biomass Transfer of experience and know-how for legislation and standards from EU countries in which agricultural biomass plays an important role

Conclusions and recommendations
GIZ GIZ TA: : Biom iomass ass Suppl Supply y
Assessment results: The agro-biomass market is undeveloped even some companies started collection and trading activities in recent years. Theoretical and practical knowledge in terms of collection, storage and logistic of biomass is insufficient. Incentives and subsidies for acquisition of adequate technology for efficient agro-biomass supply do not exist. Recommendations Setting up working groups on regional and local level for theoretical and practical training for efficient agro-biomass supply chain management Organisation of study visits to countries with experience in agro-biomass supply management Arranging of field days for demonstration of collection, logistic and storage
Supporting the access to financing of biomass collection, logistics and storage technology and implementation of pilot projects for dissemination of know-how

Conclusions and recommendations
GIZ T TA: A: Demons Demonstr tration tion pr projects
Assessment results: Project developments for agro-biomass heating and CHP plants are already ongoing in several Municipalities and in private sector. On closer analysis of these projects it came up that the technical and commercial conditions considered may not comply with the expectations for a bankable project. The lack of a legal framework and standardisation, the insufficient knowledge in terms
- f straw as a quite crucial fuel and the undeveloped biomass market are the main
reasons for the insecurity of potential public and private investors for agro-biomass
- plants. The effect is that financial resources for project development in order to
elaborate bankable projects are not mobilised or hold back.
