All types of biodegradable residues are desirable raw materials in the production of all forms of useful energy. The occurrence of both increasingly stringent environmental regulations in the last ten years and restrictions in the disposal of biodegradable residues, as well as the limitation of breeding of raw materials, for the production of biofuels, has led to the fact that in the foreground come raw materials that are being laid down as residues or waste. Agriculture has a great potential as agricultural biomass, which can be used to produce thermal energy, mechanical energy and electricity, as well as derivatives from which useful energy is obtained. The inclusion of organic residues from agricultural production is of a great importance, not only from the aspect biomass usage in energy production but also from the aspect of their disposal, with direct gain through production and use of thermal energy. Environmental problems and deficit of fossil fuels call for the need to pay greater attention in finding procedures for preparing and using residues from agricultural production as a source of energy. Sustainable management of biodegradable agricultural residues represents a great challenge, as such residue is an easily accessible and usable material. Both the advantage and complexity of using agricultural residues for energy purposes lie in the fact that different forms of useful energy, from the same raw material, can be obtained, but the most desirable form will depend on the purpose function of energy policy. The choice of technology for energy management of different types of agricultural residues represents the basis of any analysis that depends on dominant agricultural crops, agricultural production technology and quantities of residues left over for disposal. There are three main ways to use energy from the biodegradable part: producing a solid, a liquid and a gaseous form of a particular biofuel. Biogas production by anaerobic digestion of organic residue is economically a very cost-effective solution. Anaerobic decomposition is considered to be an environmentally friendly technology, with least costs in rural areas. Since today the majority of agricultural residues, in the Međimurje County area remains unused, the aim of the work is to determine the potential and model of collection and energy utilization of agricultural residues. In the broader sense, through the methodological procedures and results described in this paper, it wishes to gain widespread knowledge on the principles and models of managing biodegradable residues from agricultural production. Based on analysis findings on types and quantities of biodegradable residues, along with the determination of energy potential, analysis of collection of residues and technological solution of energy conversion of residues, as well as on conclusions from a concrete model of biodegradable waste management, a general, wider applicable model of management of biodegradable residues from agricultural production will be suggested, primarily in Croatia. The chapter „An Overview of Current Researches“ focuses on the preparation and collection of agricultural residues, their transportation and storage and the possibilities of biomass exploiting. One of the most important barriers in the increased use of biomass for energy supplying is the cost of the chain of biomass supply and of technology of biomass conversion into a useful form of energy. The period when an individual type of biomass is available is very limited and determined by sowing, harvesting or yielding periods, weather conditions and the need for new sowing on agricultural land. Since most biomass energy is now limited to one-time use, large amounts of biomass for a significant period of time need to be stored, in order to be available throughout the year to operate the plant. Local use of resources from agriculture is the best. Such resources are too expensive to be collected and transported, but are still economically attractive. Some residues propertie, such as heterogeneity, low volume mass, humidity and composition variability condition collection, transportation and storage procedures. Due to typical location of biomass sources (agricultural areas, agricultural farms), road transportation is the most common transport infrastructure, as the only possible way of collection and transportation of biomass. Other factors, favoring the use of road transportation, comprehend relatively short distances, over which the material is transported, and greater flexibility the road network can offer, compared to other ways of transportation. Biomass storage is particularly important, both for relevant investment costs in some of the technologies, as well as for the biomass itself, energy losses and security issues, related to the choice of storage system. Biomass can be storaged in two ways, either in an open space, on a hard and graded surface, or in a covered warehouse. Available biomass can be used for converting into electricity and/or internal energy (heat), by utilizing various technologies, or it can be transformed into commercially more suitable forms of energy (pellets, briquettes, wood chips). A part of biomass can be used to produce secondgeneration biofuels. Within the process of organic biomass treatment, the problem of bad smell can be solved, as well as reduce volume, obtain nutrients, reduce polution potential and get energy from waste. The chapter „Materials and Methods of Work“ contains description of the research area, biomass potential assessment and description of the analysis, used in the research. Based on collected data on agricultural crops and agricultural areas, yield of agricultural crops, grain and mass ratio, the lower fuel value and mass of manure and the corresponding Nm3 biogas per conditional throat, the amount of residues and associated energy potential was calculated. Comparison of different models as well as valorisation of potential social benefits and costs of establishing a system of supply and utilization of agricultural residues was made by a multicriteria analysis. The method of expert assessment has been applied to analyse the overall impact of the selected model on the economy, ecosystem and human health. The chapter „Results and Research Discussions“ contains the results of potential availability of residues of the most abundant agricultural crops, both with the availability of livestock residues in the County of Međimurje, the model of collection of agricultural residues and the estimation of immeasurable costs and benefits of utilisation of available agricultural residues. Accessible residues in the Međimurje County are those from the production of crop, including wheat and barley straw, corn and rapeseed stalks, as well as residues from apple plantation and vineyard pruning and stall manure of cattle, pigs and fattening chickens. In the period from January to April, fruit trees and grape vine pruning residues are available in the county. Later, partly at the end of June and mostly in July, residues from wheat, barley and rapeseed harvesting are available. During September, October and November, residues of corn harvest is available and residues of fruit trees pruning is available in November and December. Residues from cattle production are available all year round, and depend only on the duration of animal fattening. The research results show that there is potential to convert agricultural biomass into energy in the County, but there have been no investments in this area so far. In Međimurje County, the total amount of agricultural biomass represents 323.912 t/year, so that 42.680 t/year of residues come from crop production and production of fruit and vineyard and 281.233 t/year of residues come from livestock production. Based on these 30% of quantity, the energy value of the amount of 1,092 TJ can be obtained. The energy potential of crop and fruit and vineyard production represents 707 TJ, and that of livestock production represents 385 TJ. The energy potential is concentrated in the south of the county, exactly in the area of Čakovec and Prelog towns and municipalities of Nedelišće and Mala Subotica. Total value of the energy potential of the amount of 1.092 TJ/year, in the county area, represent 21% of potential of immediate consumption of energy in the Međimurje County of the amount of 5.128 TJ/year. Biomass is best to store in a closed warehouse, and under controlled conditions, underlining the fact that the most expensive is are the investment costs, but it also offers greater opportunities for long-term storage of residues, which is particularly important with regard to the seasonal availability of plant residues in the county. By applying a model of concentric circles in Međimurje County, the first filling will be made from the 1st collection unit, namely from the temporary storage space, located at a distance of approximately 30 km from the central location. Then, filling from 8 collection units, which are located at a distance of approximately 15 km from the central location will be made and, finally, from filling from 6 collection units, located at a distance of approximately 5 km from the central location will be made. A semi-trailer tractor, to all established criteria, is proven to be the best choice, both in terms of ability, namely ability to receive agricultural mass, as well as in terms of efficiency and overall cost of transporting agricultural residues. By analysing the available quantities of agricultural residues, on annual basis, the distance and the emplacement of production areas, namely the proximity of the production site of agricultural biomass to central plant, as well as the traffic connection and existing infrastructure, production of biogas, both with utilisation of existing gas networks for biomethane is suggested, along with production of pellets, production of second generation biofuels, namely establishment of a collection-logistic centre for agricultural biomass. Based on the researches conducted, it can be concluded that there is potential for energy conversion of agricultural biomass in the area of Međimurje County, and that only 30% of plant residues can satisfy a part of estimated needs of energy consumption of the county. Investments in converting agricultural residues into energy can make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of the county. Investments in the field of agricultural residues conversion into energy can be a significant contribution to the sustainable development of the County. Međimurje County needs to utilise its renewable energy sources, and agricultural residues can be a very good choice for it, as they are viable, environmentally acceptable and well-known, regularly accessible and represent a renewable energy source for the County.
