Abstract

World energy crises, the impending decline of fossil-fuel supplies and uncertainty of nuclear power's future have increased interest in renewable natural-energy sources. But, nevertheless, none of them is expected to take up the role of oil and natural gas in the near future. Global natural-gas supplies should be sufficient for at least 60 years. Croatia produces and utilises the following primary-energy sources: coal, fuel wood, crude oil, natural gas and hydropower. Natural gas will be promoted through the development and liberalisation of the energy market: its unit price and environmental considerations render it suitable for wide use to provide heat. Its greater utilisation (so displacing other fossil fuels) could dramatically improve environmental conditions in Croatia.
