Biogazownie w kontekście zrównoważonego rozwoju obszarów wiejskich na przykładzie województwa podlaskiego

Abstract

One of the causes of climate change is high exhaust emissions from combined heat and power plants and many case furnaces. In order to release these verbal energy sources, gradually switch to the production of electricity from renewable sources (RES). Hence, there are many sources of renewable energy. The article presents the possibility of obtaining energy from agricultural substrates. One of the methods is the production of biogas in the methane fermentation process in agricultural biogas plants. For the production of biogas in agricultural biogas plants in agricultural biogas is maize silage, slurry, and other waste from agriculture and agri-food processing. 9 biogas plants are registered in the Podlaskie Voivodship, producing about 9.5 million m3 of biogas, allowing for the production of 7.695 MWe. The substrates in these biogas plants are mainly maize and agricultural waste (slurry). The positive effects of cultivating plants for energy purposes, as well as the impact of monoculture perennial crops on the agricultural cultivation of agrocenoses were indicated.
