Abstract
In Serbian National Energy Strategy it is clearly stated that one of the main directives in upcoming years will be substitution of conventional fossil fuels with renewable sources. This opens up prospects for development of new business ideas for utilization of Serbian biomass resources which will undoubtedly contribute towards lessening domestic dependence on imported fossil fuels and consequently their environmental impact. Wood and agricultural biomass play key role in this as a two most important biomass resources in Serbia. The paper depicts the current situation and proposes options for future action.
