AB - This paper is the continuation of the presentation of results obtained in  comprehensive research of woody biomass consumption in Montenegro conducted  as a part of the FODEMO/MONSTAT project “Wood fuels consumption in  Montenegro”. The previous paper (No.2, 2013) showed results of wood fuels  consumption for households heating and this paper shows their consumption for  the other energy purposes as well as its participation in total final energy  consumption in Montenegro. Total consumption of woody biomass for energy and  non-energy purposes in Montenegro in 2011 was 1.06 million m3, out of which  732.9 thousand m3 or 69.1% was in the form of firewood and 326.6 thousand m3  or 30.8% was in the form of industrial roundwood. Additionally, 251 m3 of  woody biomass in the form of wood residue were used for the needs of charcoal  producers and households. Apart from this, 423 tonnes of wood briquettes, 948  tonnes of wood pellets, 1039 tonnes of charcoal, 86,193 m3 of wood residue  from industry and 5,254 m3 of wood waste from construction industry were also  used for energy purposes. Total final consumption of wood energy, which  includes the consumption of all wood fuel categories, was 7,275.04 TJ or  173,761 toe (tonne of oil equivalent) in Montenegro in 2011, which is equal  to the value of 2,020,844,444 kWh. The size of energy values and significance  of wood energy is best shown by the fact that wood is the third most  important energy-generating product in final energy consumption in  Montenegro, just behind petroleum products and electricity. Compared to final  consumption of electricity of 12,290 TJ, value of wood energy in the amount  of 7,275.04 TJ is 59.2% of electricity consumption.
