The Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (HAZU), the Scientific Council for the Oil and Gas Economy and Energy, organized on Monday, June 17, 2024, the round table "Challenges of the Croatian Energy Transition", as part of which M.Sc. Robert Fabek, head of the Department for Energy and Climate Planning at EIHP, gave a presentation on 'Relationships and trends in the energy system of the Republic of Croatia'.
The presentation provides an overview of the development of relations in the Croatian energy system in the past period until 2022. It shows essential determinants such as the structure of primary energy production, the structure of energy import and export, as well as the structure and origin of energy forms in total energy consumption. In addition to the analysis for characteristic aggregated groups of energy sources, it also shows the development of production, import, export and total consumption for distinct forms of energy (coal, natural gas, crude oil, hydroelectric power, liquefied petroleum gas, motor gasoline, diesel fuel, electricity) in the period until 2022.
Within the sector of energy transformations, an analysis of the structure of production and the structure of energy consumption by energy sources and by plants was carried out. As with the analysis of primary energy, the development of specific characteristic energy sources in the period up to 2022 is presented here.
The analysis was carried out within the final energy consumption sector at the level of individual consumption sectors (industry, transport, households, service sector, agriculture, construction) and at the level of energy products consumed in each individual sector.
In addition to the analysis of realized trends in the energy system until 2022, a projection of the development of the energy system until 2050 was presented in accordance with the draft of the National Energy and Climate Plan of the Republic of Croatia.
