Alternative energy proves its sustainability

July 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Plant is designed to process wastes from local dumpsters. Its daily capacity will be 720 m2 of hydrogen.

A unique for Russia plant will also soon appear in Ulan-Ude – the plant will process solid urban waste. City’s boiler facilities will now be using biogas instead of coal. Project’s budget is 15-20 mln. USD, the initiative comes from German company AMNY.

“In essence, the plant processes unsorted waste” – commented AMNY’s representative. – This approach enables us to receive maximum amount of energy – electricity, gas and produce. 20% of electricity, produced on the plant, is used for its maintenance, while the rest is supplied into the network.”            

Nikolay Azarov, Ukrainian prime-minister approved 123 alternative energy projects in first 6 month of 2011 with an overall budget of 215 mln. UAH, enabling governmental facilities to function with high level of energy efficiency.

According to press-center of State Environmental Investment Agency of Ukraine, leading Japanese investment companies Itochu, Marubeni, Sumitomo, Sojic, Mitsui are interested in funding biogas production projects on poultry farms and cogeneration plants in such cities as Sevastopol, Zhytomyr, Alchevsk, Rivne and Dzergynsk.

Ukrainian subsidiary of Swiss engineering company Zorg Biogas AG has presented an interactive 3d model of a biogas plant on its official website (http://www.zorg-biogas.com). The company conducts one of the world’s largest biogas projects for “Babynsky” sugar plant in Rivne region (Ukraine). Its overall capacity estimates to 40 mln. m2 of biogas per year. Zorg’s engineering bureau provides the full service related to development, construction, equipment supply, commissioning and maintenance of biogas plants. ZORG works on a global scale: company’s projects have been successfully implemented in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Latvia, Turkey, Russia, Moldavia and Indonesia.
