EFFICIENCY AND EMISSION OF CROP RESIDUES COMBUSTION FACILITIES IN SERBIA - STATUS AND NEEDED MEASURES FOR IMPROVEMENT

Abstract

Use of crop residues as fuel has a long tradition in rural areas of Serbia. Numerous biomass-fueled facilities were built during the 80s. Among those were small facilities for household heating, with thermal power from 5 to 50 kW, medium-size facilities for farm and greenhouses, with thermal power 50 to 1000 kW, and large facilities for processing of agricultural products, with thermal powers higher than 1000 kW. The results showed that the level of biomass combustion facilities is in general very low. This is especially the case for heating facilities used for household heating. The measures for improvement were proposed.
