Abstract
Energy deficiency of Kaliningrad region compels to look for the ways of using non-traditionaland renewable energy resources in the regional energy balance. One of the perspectiveresources is biomass which includes wood waste of forestry activity, solid domestic waste andcombustible industrial refuse, wastes of animal husbandry, poultry breeding and plantgrowing and etc. Based on preliminary estimation, biofuel can replace more than 85,000 tonsof equivalent fuel per year. Functional scheme of autonomous heat power complexes forKaliningrad region was worked out Resource base of these complexes will be large-scaleagroindustial enterprises, poultry factories, fur farms, timber enterprises and small individualfan11S. At such objects different organic waste materials of animal and plant origin will besubjected to ecological clean without waste processing with the production of biogas,natural fertilizers, heat energy and electricity. Combination of biogas units with wind energyturbines, solar collectors and heat pumps will allow complete application of traditional fueland energy resources.

Energy deficiency of Kaliningrad region compels to look for the ways of using non-traditional and renewable energy sources (NRES) in the regional energy balance
At the same time large-scale agroindustrial complexes, poultry factories and fur fanns have large volume of organic waste materials with animal and vegetable origin which can be transformed by anaerobic fermentation to biogas and natural fertilizers (NF) in bioenergy units (BEU) [6, 7]
The program of calculation of technical-and-economic indexes of different regional objects with autonomous heat power complexes (AHC) for the structurally functional scheme presented in Figure 1 and for particular variants of this scheme is being carried out for solution of this task
Summary
Energy deficiency of Kaliningrad region compels to look for the ways of using non-traditional and renewable energy sources (NRES) in the regional energy balance. Among a lot of NRES' kinds in existence energy of biomass, wind energy, energy of small rivers, solar energy and low potential sources of heat will be able to make its considerable contribution in the energy balance in our regional conditions. One of the potential renewable resources is biomass which includes wood waste from forestry activity, solid domestic waste and combustible industrial refuse, and wastes of animal husbandry, poultry breeding, fur fanning and plant growing. Biofuel can replace more than 85,000 tons of equivalent fuel per year [I] in Kaliningrad region. Combined biofuel with other kinds of NRES will increase this value. Russian research [2, 3, 4] and world practice [4, 5] confinns it
