AB - In recent years, renewable energy sources have played an increasingly  important role in potential energy production. The integration of renewable  energy technologies into existing national energy system has therefore  become a major challenge for many countries. Due to the importance of this  matter, this paper deals with the comprehensive analysis for implementation  of a power plant on biomass (straw). The analysis is conducted regarding  several key indicators: availability of biomass, regulation, reduction of  greenhouse gas emissions, location, land use, electricity price and social  impacts. The analysis also includes favorable price for electricity produced  from biomass relevant to national feed in tariffs. In order to demonstrate  all above mentioned indicators, the region in Serbia (Province of Vojvodina)  with significant potential in biomass, especially in straw, is selected. The  results of the analysis are validated trough environmental and social  aspects. Special attention is given to identifying risks for this  application.
