Estimation of the potential of raw materials of vegetable origin for the heat needs in ukraine for 2018

Agrarian production has a unique potential for ensuring the production process of alternative energy sources that can be obtained from by-products of plant production. Before the agricultural enterprises there is an objective need to increase the efficiency of using biomass through the introduction of innovative energy saving technologies focused on the consumption of biological fuels, which are obtained as a result of processing of by-products of plant growing. However, for the effective use of plant biomass as alternative forms of energy in the production process of agricultural producers, it is necessary to first perform an analysis of the existing potential of crop production in order to spend biomass on energy needs. As a source of biomass, by-products of growing such grains and technical crops were adopted as winter wheat and yarrow, winter rye and spring, oats and spring barley, oats, corn for grain, rape, sunflower, soybeans. Taking into account the corresponding coefficients, the total amount of available by-products of crop production and the potential of available energy from the by-products of crop production by individual crops by regions of Ukraine were found, and the results of calculations obtained were grouped according to grain and technical crops. In Ukraine, the smallest gross collection of by-products that is suitable for energy needs is recorded in the Transcarpathian region (0.5% of the total gross income) and Chernivtsi regions (1.0% of the total gross tax), and is most often collected in the Vinnytsia and Poltava oblasts (7 , 4% and 8.0% of the total gross tax). According to the estimate the amount of conditional fuel received from the by-products of crop production is 24738.3 thousand tons. Such a volume of fuel could replace 26845.6 thousand tons of coal or 16036.1 ms of liquefied gas.
