Methodology for Assessing and Forecasting the Potential of Biogas Production and the Potential of Woody Biomass

The process of obtaining high quality fertilizers consists of the following stages: raw material preparation—loading—anaerobic digestion—biogas extraction—purification from impurities—methane production. The spent biomass serves as a fertilizer for agricultural crops. Solving an environmental problem. As a rule, organic waste is stored outdoors. At the same time, methane and carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere, which are the cause of global warming. Soil pollution also occurs. It becomes unusable, and there is a threat of groundwater contamination and poisoning of people. Solving the energy problem. Methane, which is a product of a biogas plant, can serve as a fuel for an electric generator, which will make it possible to obtain electrical and thermal energy to cover the needs of the enterprise. Solution of the economic problem: 1. The generation of electrical and thermal energy allows you to significantly save money on the purchase of energy resources. In the event of a surplus, energy can be sold. 2. The sale of fertilizers brings good profits. 3. Waste disposal and storage require money, which can be saved by using a biogas plant, as the waste will be converted into fertilizer and used in agriculture. 4. Fines are imposed for pollution, which can be avoided.
