  1. University of Belgrade Faculty of mining and geology Department for hydrogeology Center for renewable water-sources of energy Authors: Ana Vranjes, dipl.eng. nevena Savic, dipl.eng. Legal framework and procedures of issuing permits for the use of geothermal energy in Serbia Belgrade, 25.09.2012.

  2. History of the use of renewable energy sources in the world Supranational framework – valid international and european conventions and documents 1. United Nations Conference on the Human Environment-UNCHE(June5-16th,1972) 2. United Nations Conference on Environment and Development-UNCED (2-14 June2-14th, 1992): 3. Kyoto Agreement(December 11th, 1997) 4.Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council

  3. LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN SERBIA • National framework – legal framework of the Republic of Serbia • The legal framework of the Republic of Serbia, from the energy point of view and the point of view of the use of renewable energy sources, entails: • Energy law of the Republic of Serbia (Off. gazette RS, Nr. 57/11, 80/11), • Law on planning and construction (Off. gazette RS Nr. 72/2009, 81/2009, 64/2010, 24/2011) • Law on environmental protection (Off. gazette RS Nr. 135/04) • Law on mining and geological exploration (Off. gazette RS, Nr. 88/2011) • Renewable energy sources and the combined production of electric and heat energy (Off. gazette RS Nr. 84/04),

  4. ZAKONSKA REGULATIVA U SRBIJI • National framework – legal framework of the Republic of Serbia • Strategic documents in the area of sustainable energetic development are: • Development strategy of the Republic of Serbia untill the year 2015 (Off. gazette RS, Nr. 35/05) • Programm for the realization of the energy development strategy 2007-2012 (Off. gazette RS, Nr. 17/07 i 73/07) with changes and additions (Off. gazette RS 99/09) • With the enactment and acceptance of the Energy law, two organization have been created, with the goal of the rational and sustainable use of energy and energy sources – the Energy Agency of the Republic of Serbia and the Agency for Energy Efficiency. • Jurisdition – Ministry of natural ressources, mining and spatial planning

  5. LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN THE AREA OF GEOTHERMAL EneRGY • According to recommendations of the European geothermal energy board (EGEC), the the legal framework in the area of geothermal energy should be determined by (Abesser, 2007): • The use of geothermal energy in an ecological manner, with a special emphasis on the protection of underground waters suitable for watersupply • All-purpose and sustainable use of geothermal energy • Issuing of investor permits for the use of geothermal energy in a specific area and in specified quantities

  6. USE OF GEOTHERMAL EneRGY IN EUROPE - EXAMPLES Decree-algorithm in Great Britain in the area of the use of geothermal energy(according to Abesser, 2007)

  7. USE OF GEOTHERMAL EneRGY IN EUROPE - EXAMPLES Decree-algorithm in France, which is partly about the use of hydrogeothermal energy in systems of heat pumps (Abesser, 2007, according to Bezelgues, 2008, Jaudin, 2010)

  8. USE OF GEOTHERMAL EneRGY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA • Underground waters are treated in three ways: as a natural ressource, as a mineral raw material and as an energy source. • According to the current legal framework, the exploitation and use of hydrogeothermal ressources for the need of object climatization is regulated by following laws: • Law on mining and geology • Water law • Energy law • Institutions in charge, which operate under the mentioned legal acts, are: • Ministry of natural ressources, mining and spatial planning • Ministry of agriculture, forestry and water • Ministry of Energetics

  9. Implemantation of laws

  10. LAW ON GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION - RULEBOOKS Rulebook on the classification and categorization of underground water reserves and their evidentation(04.10.2011, 109.9 KB) Rulebook on the way of paying the tax on the use of mineral raw materials(04.10.2011, 69.2 KB) „Official gazette RS", broj 102/06 Rulebook on the terms, the way and program of the expert examination for the work of creating projects and elaborats and the undertaking of geological exploration (04.10.2011,83.1 KB) "Službeni glasnik RS", broj 21/96 Rulebook on the criteria, on which the potential of an area with regard to finding mineral raw materials is determined(04.10.2011, 57.6 KB) „Official gazette RS", Nr.51/96 Rulebook on the terms and criteria for the assignment of exploratory geological works and the allocation of ressources for these works(04.10.2011, 59 KB) „Official gazette RS", Nr. 51/96 Rulebook on the content of projects of geological exploration and the elaborats on the results of geological exploration(04.10.2011, 80.6 KB) „Official gazette RS", Nr. 51/96 Rulebook on the content of the documentation, which refers to hydrological and geo-engineering foundations for building high damms, hydroplants, heat plants and objects of traffic infrastructure(04.10.2011, 56.6 KB)„Official gazette RS", Nr. 51/96 Rulebook on the level of exploration of the geo-engineering characteristics of the ground required for the needs of planning, projecting and building(04.10.2011, 71.8 KB) „Official gazette RS", Nr. 51/96

  11. Steps needed in the procedure of receiving Approval for the exploration of underground waters • Law on mining and geologyLaw on watersLaw on planning and building

  12. Hydrogeothermal ressources are recognized as renewable energy sources; the production and distribution of electrical and heat energy is conditioned by energy permits according to this law. • According to current legal framework, an energy permit is net required for individual users of hydrogeothermal energy. • A permit is issued for the construction of an energy object for the production of heat energy with the power of over 1 MW, for the construction of objects as well as fo the distribution of heat energy. • The issuing of energy permits is done according to the rulebook on the criteria for issuing energy permits, the content of the request and the way of issuing an energy permit EneRGY LAW

  13. LEGAL ACTS In certain european COUNTRIES regarding the use of underground waters as a geothermal ressource (K4-RES-H, 2007)
