Excessive use of fossil fuels has an extremely negative impact on the environment and climate because it results in toxic gas emission into the atmosphere. The negative effects of the fossil fuels use leads to distinctive need for renewable energy sources that affect environmental pollution less. One of little-used renewable energy source today is biomass. Biomass combustion chambers have been so perfected that we can say that the combustion of biomass (as far as work and serving) equals the combustion of coal or even liquid fuels. The study was conducted in Croatian tobacco factory on the tobacco dryer combustion chambers at 'A' and 'B', with the aim of justified introduction of new chambers as new technological measures. In addition to increasing the income, measures taken to lower drying costs are as important. Such measures are of great importance for the development of certain regions, employment and Republic of Croatia entrepreneurship promotion.
