Assessment of Greenhouse Gases Emission when Using Biofuel

Abstract

There are presented the results of studies assessing contribution to the greenhouse effect of two variants of manure utilization i.e. cattle-breeding complex, which is based on the traditional system of collection, storage and use of animal manure, and livestock complex, which is equipped by biogas manufacturing plants and mini-CHP to produce electricity and heat from biogas. The studies carried out have shown that using plants for biogas manufacture can reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 6 – 7 times and lower environmental payments.
