Abstract

This paper focuses on the use of renewable energy sources in Serbia and
the Republic of Srpska and their impact on the environment and climate change. Renewable
energy sources used in Serbia are hydropower, solar energy, wind energy, biomass, and
biogas. Renewable energy sources used in the Republic of Srpska are hydropower, solar
energy, biomass, and biogas. When using hydropower, the formed reservoirs often impact
the microclimate of the environment in which they are located. Photothermal and
photovoltaic solar radiation conversion installations are mostly stationary, do not emit
harmful substances into the environment, and have no impact on climate change. The use of
wind turbines has a certain influence on the flow of ambient air. When using biomass and
biogas, combustion gases are released into the atmosphere, which has slightly negative
impact on climate change. The paper concludes that the use of renewable energy sources in
Serbia and the Republic of Srpska has a negligible negative impact on the environment and
climate change.
