Keywords:
energy crops, marginal lands, by-products, risk identification, community awareness

Abstract:
This research aimed to develop a specific replicating conceptual model for the establishment and maintenance of a circular supply chain for biogas production at the community level. The village Ilandža (Serbia) was selected to pilot the model, with four main goals: risks and benefits identification, spatial analysis, crops and by-products evaluation, and capacity building and sustainability. The research showed that a balanced application of energy crops cultivation and by-product utilization can result in biogas supply chain sustainability. Biogas production actions should be planned according to areas, energy crops, and by-products priority lists developed participatory. Entrepreneurs’ capacities should be strengthened enough to implement such a comprehensive model. A monitoring system should be defined as participatory and should be applied during the implementation of each community-driven biogas project. Also, evaluation of strategies should be conducted after each project. All stakeholders must be informed of the importance of sustainable community-based entrepreneurship and actions.
