| Summary: | 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.
