Tiivistelmä
Increasing energy and fertilizer prices with the decreasing oil and nutrient resources caused the interest in biogas projects either on farm-scale or as cooperatives involving several farms.
Russia has large agricultural farms and the waste produced onsite is a good source for biogas production. Anaerobic digestion, i.e. biogas technology, is an environmental technology process, which enhances material and energy efficiency via utilizing organic material streams as energy. The biogas production solves not only resource and energy problem, but can be utilized for producing fertilizer, at the same time decreasing greenhouse emissions and waste disposal.
The purpose of this study is to analyze significant parameters of the anaerobic digestion process, determine management tools and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of biogas station project in the Leningrad region.
The object of the research is the agricultural enterprise JSC «Partisan» on the basis of the Luga-Balt project. Luga-Balt project is a long-term project of ENPI, aimed to develop Russian-Finnish cooperation for the Baltic Sea protection.
