ВИРОБНИЦТВО БІОГАЗУ ЯК НАПРЯМ ПОЛІПШЕННЯ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОЇ СИТУАЦІЇ ВІННИЦЬКОЇ ОБЛАСТІ

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of ecological and economic impact of biogas production at enterprises of Vinnytsia region. The efficiency of biogas production at distilleries and livestock complexes has been studied. It is determined that the creation of appropriate biogas complexes at the enterprises of agro-industrial complex will allow to provide the corresponding advantages, and the state stimulation through preferential crediting on the corresponding projects will accelerate this process. The expediency of creating biogas plants at the existing capacities of Vinnytsia region is substantiated, which will allow to produce almost 60 million m3 of biogas, which will not only reduce the environmental impact but also minimize the cost of alcohol production. It is determined that the greatest environmental impact on the environment is currently exerted by livestock waste. It has been studied that in Ukraine the issue of utilization and safe processing of waste from the production of poultry farms, pig farms and cattle farms is quite acute. On the other hand, the processing of organic livestock waste (alone or in combination with agricultural waste) can be considered as the most advanced technology, as the processing of biogas waste in specialized plants will significantly reduce environmental impact and has a significant economic advantage in decentralized green energy production. It is determined that the implementation of biogas projects can have a socio-economic effect, when the heat from cogeneration plants can be directed to hot heat and water supply for heating schools and office buildings. The ecological effect of biogas production is ecologically safe processing of organic waste from processing enterprises of agro-industrial complex and by-products of animal origin, due to the process of biomethane production. It is proved that in the conditions of privatization of distilleries this way will become quite economically feasible for new owners. It is determined that a set of measures to modernize alcohol and sugar factories, livestock complexes of Vinnytsia region will improve the environment by minimizing water pollution, processing of organic waste and provide agriculture with high quality biofertilizers.
