Abstract

The use of renewable energy sources has been an important topic of scientific researches and many studies since the first energy crisis (1973) in different aspects through either specific or complex examinations. Until the beginning of the 21st century, national and international objectives were focused on the use of different types of renewable energy sources (i.e. solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energy) without any limits, but nowadays the utilization of sustainable potential in a complex way – considering economic, ecologic and social aspects – has been come to the front. Our present research deals with the renewable energy sources of agricultural origin – i.e. the biomass energy – so it is essential to examine what is the exact role of agricultural production in energy production and how the different energy sources can be utilized. The research examines the profitability of the sustainable production of renewable energy sources at farm level. In our research, in the production of primary products the minimizing of chemicals, while in the course of manufacturing process the minimizing of CO2 emission and water use were taken into consideration as sustainability aspects. For the verification of our hypotheses two methods, life-cycle analysis (LCA) and pivot table were used
