Abstract:The master thesis aims to find the optimal model for a new energy company that considers regional potential, supports sustainable development, and fits the circular economy concept in a region. The idea of sustainable development is crucial today when we have more city areas and less countryside around the globe. Increased global population, industrial trends and modern living style are some of the reasons why the burden on our environment is more significant than ever in the history of humanity. The idea is to launch the new company in the Croatian region Osijek-Baranja, which is less developed and not attractive to tourists. A newly established company will produce electric energy from renewable energy sources. The multi-criterion decision support methods were used to determine the optimal energy source between wind, biogas and sun. Results show that the biogas has the most significant sustainable potential in chosen boundary conditions. The cash flows and other economic indicators are shown for a farm of 500 milking cows in the chosen region as a source of biogas. The risk assessments method estimated the boundaries of the company success and adaptability to possible changes. One of the critical aspects of the project is the company's organizational structure, where a vertical hierarchy with a flexible and fluid, circular organization model with network culture was proposed. Clear communication about the project will help establish trust with the local community. Based on the biogas plant, the proposed company reduces biodegradable waste in the green energy production process. It is shown quantitatively that besides being economically sustainable, it also suits the region's potential, supports energy self-supply, and involves local people - it aims to the long-term sustainable growth of the region, rather than short-term capital growth.

Title:Regionalni potencial za trajnostno oskrbo z energijo na Hrvaškem : magistrska naloga
Abstract:Cilj magistrske naloge je najti optimalen model za novo energetsko podjetje, ki upošteva regionalni potencial, podpira trajnostni razvoj in ustreza konceptu krožnega gospodarstva v regiji. Ideja o trajnostnem razvoju je danes ključnega pomena, ko imamo po vsem svetu več mestnih območij in manj podeželja. Povečanje svetovnega prebivalstva, industrijski trendi in sodoben življenjski slog so nekateri od razlogov, zakaj je obremenitev našega okolja pomembnejša kot kdaj koli v zgodovini človeštva. Ideja je, da bi novo podjetje zagnali v hrvaški regiji Osijek-Baranja, ki je manj razvita in turistom neprivlačna. Novoustanovljeno podjetje bo proizvajalo električno energijo iz obnovljivih virov energije. Za določitev optimalnega vira energije med vetrom, bioplinom in soncem smo uporabili večkriterijske metode podpore odločanju. Rezultati kažejo, da ima bioplin v izbranih mejnih pogojih najpomembnejši trajnostni potencial. Prikazani so denarni tokovi in drugi ekonomski kazalniki za farmo 500 krav molznic v izbrani regiji kot vir bioplina. Metoda ocen tveganja je ocenila meje uspešnosti in prilagodljivosti podjetja morebitnim spremembam. Eden od kritičnih vidikov projekta je organizacijska struktura podjetja, kjer je bila predlagana vertikalna hierarhija s prilagodljivim in fluidnim krožnim organizacijskim modelom z mrežno kulturo. Jasna komunikacija o projektu bo pripomogla k vzpostavitvi zaupanja z lokalno skupnostjo. Predlagano podjetje na podlagi bioplinarne zmanjšuje biološko razgradljive odpadke v procesu proizvodnje zelene energije. Kvantitativno je prikazano, da poleg ekonomsko vzdržnosti ustreza tudi potencialom regije, podpira samooskrbo z energijo in vključuje lokalno prebivalstvo – stremi k dolgoročni trajnostni rasti regije, ne kratkoročni rasti kapitala.
