Economic valuation of biogas production in Russia

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to get a detailed idea of the economic efficiency of the construction of the designed biogas plant. Carried out technical-economic evaluation of feasibility and economic efficiency of application of the developed technological scheme of biogas plant on the example of a pig-breeding complex with the number of pigs - 1500 heads. Capital expenditures for construction and installation of main and auxiliary equipment amounted to 15.21 million Russian rubles, the discounted payback period of 8 years and 8 months. The amount of discounted cash flow on an accrual basis at the end of the design life of 20 years can be found in the future researches. The widespread use of the proposed scheme of biogas plant at large pig enterprises in Russia will significantly reduce the problem of recycling and storage of production waste, which will have a positive impact on the ecology of Russia, while increasing the autonomy and profitability of the energy complex.
