After the agricultural works are finished on 3.47 million hectares in Serbia, over 12.5 million tons of biomass is left unused. Of this, Vojvodina, with 1.7 million hectares, accounts for as much as 9 million tons, or 72%, writes agriculture expert Branislav Gulan.
He adds that biomass has great unused energy potential for energy independence of Serbia, for the reduction of emission of harmful gases and for the employment of a large number of people, both directly and indirectly, in new technologies implemented through renewable energy sources.
