STIMULATION OF BIOGAS PRODUCTION IN THE REGION FROM ANIMAL WASTE WASTE

Abstract

Livestock waste processing contributes to the socio-economic and environmental development of the regions of the state. The article considers the issues related to the creation and development in the Volyn region of productions for processing livestock waste into biogas. It is determined that Volyn region has a significant potential for the development of livestock waste for biogas, which will increase the environmental security of the region, strengthen its energy independence, attract additional financial assets to local and regional budgets, as well as obtain the desired financial benefits business activity. Analysis of livestock waste in the Volyn region showed that there are trends to reduce them, which is primarily due to the decrease in the number of farm animals in the region.

The authors proposed to determine the possible volumes of biogas production. In the study region, there is a tendency to reduce the number of cattle and pigs, which, in turn, reduces the potential for biogas production based on manure, as evidenced by forecasts for future periods. Therefore, it is proposed to process not only livestock waste (manure) at biogas plants, but also crop waste and other solid fuel wastes. Thus, it is proposed to use at the state, regional and local levels in the complex tools to economically stimulate the growth of livestock, the development of in-depth processing of livestock products, livestock waste into alternative energy sources.
