Serbia has opened a modern heating plant running on biomass fuel in the eastern municipality of Majdanpek, BalkanEngineer.com has learned from BTA. With an investment of 5.5 million euros, the newly built facility marks a step towards the country's transition to a more sustainable energy, offering an ecological alternative to traditional fuel.
By eliminating fuel oil as a heating raw material, Majdanpek Municipality will completely eliminate its sulfur dioxide emissions and reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 93%.
The project is part of a wider initiative led by the Serbian government in cooperation with the German development bank KfW and with the support of Switzerland. With a total investment of 26.75 million euros, similar biomass plants have already been built in Novi Pazar, Priboj and Mali Zvornik.
The Serbian government announced the start of the second phase of the program, which will be worth 32 million euros. Six more municipalities have expressed interest in participating in it, and their projects are ready for implementation as early as next year. This will give Serbia an additional boost on its path to cleaner and more sustainable energy and the fight against climate change.
