This paper analyzes energy sources climate northeastern Montenegro, in the example municipalities Berane, Andrijevica and Plav in a geographical context its exploitation and use. Analyzed GeoScape from the standpoint of utilization of wind energy lose their its attractiveness due to high altitude mountain ranges that dominate in given area, it is the windy areas, often the located on slopes of the mountains, and most of them did not connected to the existing road network and infrastructure. The use of solar thermal energy is possible only with the help of passive solar architecture and active solar architecture (solar collectors for water heating and space heating in homes and tourist facilities). Program development and use of renewable energy in Montenegro, given the Energy Law of 2010 in which Montenegro has implemented parts of EU directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of energy from renewable sources.

“…Similarly, authors carrying out research on WtE in other developing countries have focused on reviewing the literature to provide an overview and discussion of the various challenges (Agunwamba, 1998;Cheng and Hu, 2010;Tsai and Chou, 2006;Zhuang et al, 2010). Guerrero et al (2013) conducted a review of research on the broader issue of waste management in developing countries and they claim that there is a lack of quantitative data.…”

The uptake of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) in India has not been successful and the majority of plants have failed to sustain operations. There is a lack of detailed on-the-ground research examining the causes of plant failures and the issues regarding the WtE supply chain. Thus, this study set out to identify how WtE practices in India can be improved by gathering and evaluating empirical evidence. Local government officers, industry practitioners and academics involved in waste management in India were consulted, and quantitative data were collected on three case study plants: an incinerator, a gasification plant and a plant cofiring waste with coal. The gathered information was evaluated by making a comparison with two well-established European waste incinerators. The major problem with WtE in India has typically been perceived to be poor source segregation; however, the case study plants highlight that severe contamination has been occurring during transport and storage. In comparison to European incinerators, WtE plants in India have a low capital cost (around 1-2 million €/MW), but total particulate matter emissions (ranging from 65-75 mg/Nm 3 ) were found to be a hundred times higher. We conclude with recommendations for delivery contracts, financial incentives and regulations on dumpsites, ash disposal and stack emission measurements.Keywords: Waste-to-Energy (WtE); Municipal Solid Waste (MSW); Energy-from-Waste (EfW); energy policy; waste management.

“…Moreover, electricity and heat generated from bioresidues through the combined heat and power (CHP) systems are offsetting those generated from fossil fuels with GHG emission reduction credits. As a result, there is an increasing interest in co-firing non-hazardous biomass with coal in the coal-fired power plants and/or large-scale mass-burn MSW incineration plants, which have been designed with the best available control technology for toxic air pollutants emitted from flue stack [7].…”

Abstract:The objective of this paper was to provide a preliminary analysis of energy utilization from biological wastewater treatment sludge (biosludge) in Taiwan, a densely populated country (estimate 640 persons/km 2 ) with a high dependence (over 99%) on imported energy. The discussion focused on the status of biosludge generation and its management in the years [2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010]. Findings showed that the main types of combustible waste (i.e., biosludge) produced by the industrial and agricultural sectors of Taiwan included food processing sludge, wine brewery sludge and agricultural sludge which may be reused as auxiliary fuel in the utilities (e.g., generator, boiler and incinerator). Furthermore, two conceptual biosludge-to-energy systems have been addressed with regard to the thermochemical conversion processes. One is to adopt direct combustion for power generation in the combined heat and power system. Another system uses pyrolysis and gasification for producing biochar (solid fuel), bio-oil (liquid fuel) and syngas (gas fuel). Based on their thermochemical properties and reported generation quantities, the energy potential and the environmental benefits of mitigating CO 2 emissions were also analyzed in the study, showing around 1.1 × 10 3 TJ/year and 57 Gg CO 2 /year, respectively.
