Georgy Geletukha, Chairman of the Board of the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine said that today, the share of crop residues mixed with other raw materials in the operation of biogas plants is about 10%, however, in the future, biogas plants will be able to work only on crop residues. The first such project in Ukraine is already being prepared for launch.
“There are already examples in the world of operation of such plants and the first such biogas plant in Ukraine is currently being prepared for launch, the equipment has already been imported and installed. There, more than 50% of the raw material will be straw or corn stalks. It will be possible to use by-products of crop and livestock production, by-products of the food industry, energy crops. Therefore, it will ensure the conversion of almost any organic product into a suitable organic fertilizer, “said Georgy Geletukha.

According to him, biogas technology is the most effective for restoring soil fertility, because now biogas technologies work mainly on manure, chicken manure with the addition of corn silage. But in the long run, these same technologies will use almost all crop residues, such as straw, corn stalks and sunflower.
He adds that in this case the raw material base on which biogas plants can work and, accordingly, the amount of digestate that can be introduced into the soil is greatly expanded.
