Serbia / Becej, Novi Sad, Vrbas JOINT HYDRO PROJECT ON THE DTD (DANUBE TIBISCO DANUBE) SYSTEM Power generation
The significant surface water resource in the AP Vojvodina is the Danube – Tisa – Danube hydro system (DTDHS). This system extends over a surface area of 20.000 km2 and comprises canals network whose overall length is about 700 km. The system is used for irrigation, drainage and navigation purposes. According to the “Cadastre of Small Hydro Power Plants in Vojvodina”, the construction of SHPP at DTDHS near Novi Sad, Becej and Vrbas with installed capacities of 3MW, 0,85MW and 0,62MW respectively, should be a priority and undertaken simultaneously since their working regime is interconnected. The project activity would supply about 26 GWh/year. Part of the electricity would be used for pumping water back into canal, while the rest would be dispatched to the end-users connected to the national power grid.
Serbia / Cacak COGENERATION PLANTS AT THE CACAK INDUSTRIAL AREA Energy efficiency
Industrial zone, located in Cacak Municipality, is one of the biggest energy consumers in the region. In the last years the natural-gas distributive network has been introduced in to this zone. Since, the price of the natural gas is higher comparing to the heavy fuel oil, most of the factories in this zone, due to the lack of finance, use crude oil instead. The heat produced in this industrial complex is used for two purposes, for industrial processes and for the district heating of the neighboring parts of the town.
Serbia / Cacak, Ivanjica, Pozega and Uzice ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN STREET LIGHTING IN CENTRAL SERBIA Energy efficiency
This project activity is related to the improvement of the existing street lighting system by introduction of more efficient lighting technologies in four neighbouring municipalities in the Central Serbia region, with approx. 270.000 inhabitants. At present, mercury bulbs, consuming more electricity for the same magnitude of light, are widely used, while their lifetime period is three times shorter with respect to the sodium bulbs.
Serbia / Cacak, Pozega, Uzice INTEGRATED PROJECT FOR THE REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS THROUGH BIOGAS COMBUSTION Methane recovery
The CDM project activity involves bundling of three dump sites in order to give an added value to the envisaged procedure of the environmentally sound closure of the dump sites. Currently, the closing procedure envisages only covering with a soil layer, leaving the possibility to consider other measures depending on waste and landfill characteristics. The added value of the project refers to enabling LFG collection and flaring at the sites. Through flaring, the methane is converted into CO2 and hence, the greenhouse gas effect is reduced. This project activity would involve investments in gas collection systems and equipment for methane flaring. The project will also reduce environmental risks for the residents in the vicinity of the existing disposal sites.
Serbia / Crveni Breg, Mala Bela Palanka, Vrgudinac MINI-HYDRO POWER PLANTS OF CRVENI BREG, MALA BELA PALANKA AND VRGUDINAC (JOINT PROJECT) Power generation
The main objective of the proposed project activity is to generate green electricity using hydroelectric resources, and to sell the generated output to the Serbian grid on the basis of power purchase agreement (PPA). Therefore, by the project implementation, the GHG emissions reduction will be generated, too. This will result in avoiding electricity generation at fossil fuel-fired power plants, i.e. TPPs using mainly lignite.
