Sažetak
The planned changes on the markets of the networked energents in the Republic of Croatia, which include the restructuring, privatization and changes in the overall energetic sector, will have an important influence on the possibility of introducing and increased use of renewable sources of energy. The education of the public, its including into the decision processes in the energetic sector and the promotion of renewable sources of energy are still not a common phenomenon in Croatia. Opposed to that, in the developed countries of the European Union the participation of the public is considered obligatory in making decisions important for the energetic sector. Among other barriers to an increased use of renewable sources, which implies also the use of biodegradable energy, the social barriers play an important role. In order to transcend them, but also to successfully increase the part of energy from renewable sources, the education and including of the public must receive much more attention than before. The paper presents an example of including the public into the decision process concerning the use of biodegradable sources in the Swedish city of Växjö. Presented are also the results of a survey in which it has been attempted at determining of the knowlegde on biodegradable sources and the attitudes of the population of the Croatian region of Gorski kotar towards its use. There is also an outline of means and ways of education and public relations adapted to Croatia. In addition to this, the paper presents basic instructions for a public relations system which should be applied in Croatia so to give impulses for the use of biodegradable energy.
