Construction of biomass power plant in Sombor late

(Illustration) The construction of a thermal power plant in Sombor powered by biomass was announced in early 2015 as a joint project of Sombor’s agriculturists and a Slovakian investor, but the works have not yet started.

One of the co-investors, Vladimir Boskovic, says that the construction is late due to regulations in the area of energy and the lease of state-owned land by the investor. Boskovic adds that the process of receiving a building permit is in progress and that the construction can start once the permit’s been issued.

– If everything goes according to plan, the power plant should start operating next autumn. The basic raw material is corn silage, and the product is electrical energy. Thermal energy and organic fertilizer are the byproducts. Organic fertilizer is being brought back to farms which the silage originates from, which completes an ecological cycle – Boskovic says.
