Abstract

The aim of this paper was to investigate the potential energy production from olive cake in a specific region of islands in the Adriatic sea, which has a yearly olive cake production of 2,065 tons. Energy production potential from this quantity of olive cake is approx. 530 MWh of electric power per year, which can be differently utilised on behalf of great manig of energy consumers such as households or small-capacity plants for production of drinking water. Utilization of olive cake in energy production could contribute to waste management because it would not be deposited as waste, thus causing pollutions. Moreover, utilization of olive cake in energy producton could contribute to providing work for the local community.
