Use of biogas plants on a national and international scale

are capable of wind, sun, water, geothermal springs, or biomass.
Energy from these sources is clean, safe and inexhaustible. The use
of alternative sources is becoming part of all realistic scenarios and
promotes sustainable development and energy security in Europe as
well. Renewable energy sources form a relatively significant part of
primary energy sources in many countries. Thanks to the undeniable
advantages of their use, they form another higher share of combined
energy production in Slovakia. In addition, the correct location of
renewable energy sources can be a key element in the development
of individual regions, which can contribute to achieving better social
and economic cohesion in the country. Given these obvious
environmental and economic benefits, efficient use of renewable
energy sources is receiving increasing attention and support from
responsible officials and the general public around the world,
including Slovakia. The main goal of this paper was to evaluate the
use of renewable resources in Slovakia with a focus on biogas plants.
We also evaluate the position of Slovakia within the EU in this area
and find out what is the current situation of biogas plants in Slovakia
