Abstract: The use of renewable energy sources, which provides sufficient energy supply and does not have a negative impact on the environment, has become a desideratum of sustainable development in all European Community countries. One of the objectives of the European Union for 2020 is to increase the share of renewable energy sources by 20% in total energy consumption. Thus, biomass and biogas resources play an important role in implementing strategies to achieve energy independence through the use of renewable energy sources. The energy obtained from cogeneration of biomass and biogas resources is used both as a source of electricity and thermal energy, it can be generated throughout the year and it is considered optimal to cover the demand for energy at peak times. Romania has considerable reserves of biomass and biogas, the interest shown for this sector being demonstrated by the upward trend of investments. Nevertheless, the potential of biomass and biogas resources is insufficiently capitalized. This article aims to present how the valorisation of biomass and biogas resources contributes to the sustainable development of Satu Mare County. The methods used are the analysis of specific documents and legislation, the comparison and interpretation of statistical data.
