Montenegro / Pljevlja FUEL SWITCH IN THE INDUSTRIAL WOOD-PROCESSING SECTOR Fuel switching
The objective of the project is the use of biomass instead of fossil fuel, in order to meet the energy requirements of the wood-processing company. The production programme of the company includes cutting construction elements, panels, final products and prefabricated structures. The company has a concession on around 160.000 m3 of forest wood, out of which around 20% stays un-harvested, due to low intensity of production. The forest wood that has not been used in the production process, together with residues generated during the wood processing, could be used for electricity production but also for a fuel switching within the company’s facilities.
Montenegro / Podgorica ENERGY GENERATION USING BIOGAS FROM PODGORICA LANDFILL SITE Methane recovery
The objective of the proposed project is to implement a landfill gas (LFG) capture system for the Podgorica MSW landfill under construction, aimed at reducing methane emissions. The capture and combustion of methane, a main component of landfill gas (40%-to-60%), in an engine generator and LFG flare will allow to generate electricity to be used on site and/or exported to the grid.
Montenegro / Podgorica ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT THE "MORAČA" SPORT CENTER Energy efficiency
The project idea is to install a HVAC system in the "Moraca" sport centre (a public company, located on the riverbank in the central part of Podgorica) using ground water and replacing a "classic" heating/cooling system: two boilers which use fuel oil for heating – app. 1.025.000 liters/year and electricity for cooling, thus reducing CO2 emissions to zero. This approach of using heat pumps is very important for Montenegro because Podgorica, as the main urban energy consumer, lies on an underground lake.
Montenegro / Podgorica CDM PROJECT ACTIVITIES IN KAP (PODGORICA ALUMINIUM PLANT) Energy efficiency
It should be emphasized that this non-ferrous metal industrial complex has a vast potential from the CDM point of view. Two aspects could be considered hereby: energy efficiency measures and PCFs emissions reduction in primary smelter. KAP is a plant with the highest participation in GDP, as well as in the value of exported goods in Montenegro. It has been privatized by foreign back company Salamon Enterprises, in 2005. The annual production of primary aluminum is app. 102.000 tons.
Montenegro / Slano, Krupac SMALL SCALE BUNDLED PROJECTS KRUPAC AND SLANO Power generation
The objective of the project is to generate renewable electricity using hydroelectric resources, and to export the generated electrical output to the Montenegrin grid on the basis of power purchase agreements (PPAs), using the Electric Public Utility of Montenegro (EPCG) transmission system to wheel the energy. The project activity will generate GHG emission reductions by avoiding electricity generation and CO2 emissions from thermal power plants that would be generated otherwise.
