| Summary: | The use of wood for energy purposes is becoming a very important issue and
the subject of cross-sectoral interaction in the fields of energy,
environment and forestry. Woody biomass has been recognized as a significant
potential to replace fossil fuels. Therefore, this situation has a large
impact on all aspects of the forestry sector, making it a significant
research issue, as well as operational issue in forest policy. The aim of
this paper is to determine the nature and intensity of the impact of
strategic, legislative and organizational framework on the use of wood for
energy purposes. The research used qualitative and quantitative methods in
order to identify the impact of environmental institutions on the issues of
biomass use for energy purposes. The results show that there is a complex
organizational, strategic and legal framework related to the use of biomass
for energy. On the basis of impact analysis, it can be concluded that some
organizations may have a different character and the intensity of impact,
while the most complex impact is exercised by the ministry responsible for
the environment. |
