Abstract
This paper presents the results of calculations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural sectors of the Republic of Uzbekistan within the framework of the project: “Sustainable Agriculture Development and Climate Change Mitigation”. The initial data were the characteristics of the implemented installations based on renewable energy sources for the period of 2014-2018. Most of these installations were biogas settings based on the principle of anaerobic fermentation, as well as solar water heating and photovoltaic stations. The calculations were performed according to the “AMS-III.D” and “AMS-I.J” methods by the “Global Environmental Fund” experts. The developed computer programs were applied to calculate the arrival of radiation and the duration of sunshine during the year on the territory of Uzbekistan. According to the calculations, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions was 1338840.5 tons of CO2for the indicated period during the operation of installations based on renewable energy sources. Within the framework of this project, the total potential of generating electric energy from biogas settings and solar photovoltaic stations at the amount of 10,424 MWh was estimated.
Highlights
In Uzbekistan, where about 45% of the population is engaged in agriculture, an obvious obstacle to the large-scale introduction of biogas technologies and renewable energy sources is the lack of necessary financial resources

Summary
In Uzbekistan, where about 45% of the population is engaged in agriculture, an obvious obstacle to the large-scale introduction of biogas technologies and renewable energy sources is the lack of necessary financial resources. Most of the villagers will not be able to afford the investments necessary for the introduction of a biogas installation, despite the quick payback and economic benefits received from the biogas installation. Attempts to reduce the cost of constructing a biogas installation should be undertaken in parallel with the development of credit and other financial systems that facilitate access to funds for the implementation of biogas installations. The purpose is to promote the dissemination of knowledge and the introduction of renewable energy technologies through the creation of pilot plots in farms to demonstrate the operation of biogas installations, energy-efficient irrigation pumps, solar water heating systems and systems for raising water from wells using a solar photovoltaic station
