Functional schemes for biomass use in autonomous heat power complexes of Kaliningrad region

Abstract

Energy deficiency of Kaliningrad region compels to look for the ways of using non-traditional
and renewable energy resources in the regional energy balance. One of the perspective
resources is biomass which includes wood waste of forestry activity, solid domestic waste and
combustible industrial refuse, wastes of animal husbandry, poultry breeding and plant
growing and etc. Based on preliminary estimation, biofuel can replace more than 85,000 tons
of equivalent fuel per year. Functional scheme of autonomous heat power complexes for
Kaliningrad region was worked out Resource base of these complexes will be large-scale
agroindustial enterprises, poultry factories, fur farms, timber enterprises and small individual
fan11S. At such objects different organic waste materials of animal and plant origin will be
subjected to ecological clean without waste processing with the production of biogas,
natural fertilizers, heat energy and electricity. Combination of biogas units with wind energy
turbines, solar collectors and heat pumps will allow complete application of traditional fuel
and energy resources.
