The project aimed to increase awareness and knowledge about agrobioenergy possibilities in the Posavina region, including Vukovar-Srijem County in Croatia and municipalities Odžak, Domaljevac-Šamac, Orašje, Šamac and Brčko district in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thus, the overall objective is the promotion of agrobioenergy in rural economies by including utilisation of agricultural biomass for energy purposes in the targeted region. The project focused on local farmers and local authorities as target groups but spills over its effect on high-school pupils, potential investors and overall rural community. The specific objectives were: Analysing agricultural capacity for agrobioenergy in the target area, Empowering local authorities to include agrobioenergy projects in development plans, Involvement of local farmers in agrobioenergy developments, Promotion of bioenergy for sustainable development.
The project objectives were implemented through knowledge transfer, capacity building and combined know-how on renewable energy sources (RES) and agriculture.
