Prospects of bioenergy in Kazakhstan

Abstract

Bioenergy in Kazakhstan has a huge potential for development due to its rich natural resources and extensive land areas. In particular, the country has significant reserves of biomass, including agricultural residues, timber waste, as well as animal and plant debris. These resources can be used for the production of biogas, biodiesel and later for the conversion of electricity and heat. And in the future, you can think about bioenergy as a sustainable energy industry in Kazakhstan. Since sustainable energy is one of the problems that humanity will face in the coming decades, due to the need to solve the problems of climate change. Increasingly serious environmental problems, depletion of non-renewable energy resources and a sharp rise in energy prices have attracted the attention of the world community to the development and use of energy production by biotransformation of organic waste. In recent years, society has been increasingly interested in solving two inseparable problems - preventing the depletion of natural resources and protecting the environment from pollution. The accumulation of organic agricultural waste is a serious environmental problem, and at the same time organic waste is the main raw material for the production of biogas. Currently, a number of studies are known related to the development of new technologies for generating energy from organic waste. The combination of these issues opens up the prospect of practical application of bioenergy installations in agricultural energy, contributing to solving the problem of sustainable energy supply, on the one hand, and providing a powerful way to solve serious environmental problems associated with the increase in organic waste of the agro-industrial sector, on the other.
