Crude Oil Production

The 4.2 Mt/year Bosanski Brod refinery, situated in the Republic of Srpska, has been modernised to produce Euro-5 fuels and MTBE. In 2018, oil refining volumes fell by 23% to 675 kt due to an emergency shutdown in October. The refinery has been idle since then and production has not restarted yet, although a new gas pipeline connecting the refinery to the natural gas transmission system of Croatia was completed in 2021. Oil product imports have more than doubled since 2010 (0.7 Mt) to 1.6 Mt in 2022.

Renewable in % Electricity Production

Under its draft NECP (April 2023), Bosnia and Herzegovina aims to reach a share of 43.6% of renewables in final energy consumption by 2030, including 70% for electricity, 61% for heating and cooling, and 8.4% for transport.

A National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) was adopted in 2016, reaffirming the 40% target for renewables in final energy consumption in 2020 (39.8% reached in 2020, 36.6% in 2021), 57% for electricity (49.3% in 2020 and 46.3% in 2021), 52% for heating and cooling (56.6% in 2020 and 53.3% in 2021), and 10% for transport (less than 0.5%).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

Under its draft NECP (April 2023), Bosnia and Herzegovina aims to cut its GHG emissions by over 41% from the 1990 level to 15.65 MtCO2 in 2030. It also plans to introduce the EU ETS model in the country by 2026 to avoid paying the EU's CBAM tax.
