ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ АЛЬТЕРНАТИВНИХ ВИДІВ ПАЛИВА НА ПОЛТАВЩИНІ

Abstract

The possibilities of using energy-resource solid household waste, agricultural waste, logging waste from forestry enter-prises, green waste from landscaping and growing energy crops as alternative renewable fuels to meet the goals of small-scale heat and power generation in Poltava Oblast are investigated. To study this issue, the specialists from the Departments of Applied Ecology and Nature Management and Heat and Gas Supply, Ventilation and Heat Power En-gineering of National University "Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic" were invited to join the project and a new specialization "Renewable Heat and Power Engineering, Alternative Fuels and Environmental Protection" was opened in the specialty 183 "Environmental Protection Technologies". The problem was included in the strategic development plan of Poltava region and included in the development of the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy Development and Climate of Poltava City Territorial Community until 2030 in accordance with the European initiative "Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy". The assessment of the bioenergy potential may become a significant environmental and economic basis for improving the regional bioenergy sector in Poltava Oblast in the future. A complex of methods of system analysis and the method of data analysis has been applied to achieve the goal of the research. An analysis of modern international literary sources, an analysis of the morphological composition of municipal and green waste, and an analysis of the energy potential of plant biomass were reviewed. As a result of research, the scientific and applied task of using local energy resources at the level of each individual community of the Poltava region, taking into account ecological, economic and social development, has been formulated and substantiated.
