“…Furthermore, a wider range, 0.2-5 TWh year −1 (Denafas et al, 2000), for biogas energy potential can be found in the literature. The energy potential of straw (1.8 TWh year −1 ) is in the same order of magnitude as in previous studies (1.5 TWh year −1 ) (Katinas & Markevicius, 2006, Katinas et al, 2007, Miskinis et al, 2006.…”

“…The total biogas potential (1.7 TWh a -1 ) is greater than the previously evaluated 0.3 TWh a -1 (Katinas et al 2007, Katinas & Markevicius 2006, Miskinis et al 2006. Earlier studies do not, however, include straw in the biogas potential.…”

“…The calculated potential of biogas from manure (86 million m 3 , 0.5 TWh year −1 ) is in the same order of magnitude as the results presented in earlier studies: 0.52 TWh year −1 (Katinas and Skema 2001) and 0.43 TWh year −1 (Navickas et al, 2009). The total biogas potential (1.7 TWh year −1 ) is greater than the previously evaluated 0.3 TWh year −1 (Katinas and Markevicius, 2006;Katinas et al, 2007;Miskinis et al, 2006).

Potential of energy and nutrient recovery from biodegradable waste by co-treatment in Lithuania

et al. 2011

Biodegradable waste quantities in Lithuania and their potential for the co-treatment in renewable energy and organic fertilizer production are investigated. Two scenarios are formulated to study the differences of the amounts of obtainable energy and fertilizers between different ways of utilization. In the first scenario, only digestion is used, and in the second scenario, other materials than straw are digested, and straw and the solid fraction of sewage sludge digestate are combusted. As a result, the amounts of heat and electricity, as well as the fertilizer amounts in the counties are obtained for both scenarios. Based on this study, the share of renewable energy in Lithuania could be doubled by the cotreatment of different biodegradable materials.

“…A few studies mention heat pumps in combination with heat storage (Bazbauers and Cimdina, 2011;Colmenar-Santos et al, 2016;Lauka et al, 2015). With respect to the Baltic energy sectors, the focus is on energy efficiency and increasing the share of domestic fuels in order to decrease DH prices (Kveselis et al, 2017;Ziemele et al, 2016) and reduce import dependency (Lund et al, 1999;Miskinis et al, 2006). The choice of renewable fuels for domestic fuels stems from environmental concerns.…”

“…Specific features of the energy systems, driving forces and factors stimulating or limiting the future deployment of RES as well as appropriate energy policy documents in the Baltic States were discussed in [30]. A thorough overview of the energy policies and measures implemented in the Baltic States, aiming to support the use of RES, the increase of energy efficiency and sustainable energy development of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, was provided in [31,32].…”

The paper provides a comparative analysis of economic growth in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and discusses differences in development of the main sectors during the period 2000–2016. Based on detailed analysis of energy sector development, the driving factors influencing changes in primary energy consumption in each country and in the Baltic region are discovered. Increase of renewable energy sources (RES) consumption in the Baltic region over this period by 73.6% is emphasized. The paper presents valuable insights from analysis of trends in final energy consumption by sectors of the national economies, branches of the manufacturing sector, and by energy carriers. Long-term relationships between economic growth and final energy consumption are established. An econometric model was applied to predict final energy demand in the Baltic States for the 2020 horizon. It is emphasized that growing activities in the manufacturing and transport sectors will cause increase of final energy demand in all three countries. Based on detailed analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trends some positive shifts are shown and the necessity of new policies in the transport sector and agriculture is identified. Changes of emission intensity indicators are examined and a potential for decoupling of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from economic growth in Estonia is indicated.
