TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF BIOGAS ENERGY IN THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF THE BELGOROD REGION
The use of alternative energy sources in Russia should be considered as an important factor in the modernization of the productive forces, contributing to the solution of a number of important economic, social and environmental problems. One of these energy sources is biogas, which is used to produce two types of energy simultaneously: heat and electricity. The article substantiates the need for the introduction of biogas technologies, primarily in livestock complexes, and in the agro-industrial complex as a whole, for the processing of agricultural waste and the production of highly effective organic fertilizers. It is possible to use waste-free production technologies not only at large, but also at medium and small enterprises, and above all in eco-farms of various types. For example, farm Landysh campaign JSC Green Valley Belgorod region the calculation cost, the economic efficiency of a biogas plant for the year and set the period of her payback. Conclusions are drawn that for faster implementation of biogas plants, it is necessary to pay attention to the experience of Western countries in matters of state support for the development of dairy farming in terms of the use of administrative resources. So, as an example, to oblige the nearest enterprises to buy surplus electricity produced with the help of renewable energy sources at a reduced rate; to give a subsidy for each installation in the amount of 50% of the average cost; at times to increase fines for violating environmental legislation; develop tax incentives for those organizations that will comply with the technology of waste-free production.
