Risks Analysis of the Implementation of Sustainable Solution for the Oil and Fat Industry Waste Recycling

Abstract

This article expands on the problem of oil and fat industry waste recycling via biogas plants. Authors assess the risk level of the proposed solution implementation, taking into account externalities of the industry in the Rostov Region of the Russian Federation submitted by the stability of centralized power supply, local personnel qualification, climatic peculiarities, and industry state finance support of the region. To achieve the study objective, the following methods were used: qualitative PESTEL-analysis (identified the external factors) and quantitative Fuzzy logic (assessed risk level. The result of this study shows that the risk level is predominantly below average, reflecting the preparedness of the external environment in the region. The uniqueness of the study is represented by a proposed model to assess the external environment risk level via fuzzy logic that also contributes to more qualitative subsequent studies.
