Abstract: This paper analyses the development of the biogas energy production and use in Slovenia. The major concern is given to ecological, economic and technical determinants in decision making process for selection among alternative biogas energy production plants and use of energy for heating and electricity. The investments into the biogas plants have reduced ecological problems from large environmental polluters in urban and rural areas. Among them are sewage systems, food wastes, wastes from large-scale animal farms, and some other wastes from food-processing and food consumption places. The measures of economic policy, particularly guaranteed prices for purchased electricity from biogas production plants are presented that have contributed to the development of green energy production.
