Experience in production and utilization of renewable energy sources in EU and Croatia

The European Union is entering the second phase of production of renewable energy sources. Namely, biofuel production is entirely defined due to EU's Green and White paper. Hence, share of biofuels' consumption, their production and quality as well as the system of application and monitoring by a single member state is determined. This second phase has begun with energetic cycles' drafting after defining 7 types of biofuels (EC/30/2003), namely: -biodiesel production from fatty acid methyl esters from vegetable oil or animal fat and from edible waste oil, -bioethanol production from biomass and biodegradable waste, -biogas production from biomass and biodegradable fat which can be purified to natural gas quality. Because biomass is the only renewable energy source from which it is possible to produce valuable liquid and gaseous fuels, EU Parliament and EU Commission have issued a Directive which was then set as a national goal by its member states. Furthermore, the latter need to submit their reports regarding the previous activities regarding this subject together with the future ones.
