Recycling Production and Consumption Waste for Bioenergy Purposes: Status and Prospects

An analysis of the structure of forest and agro-industrial waste, solid municipal waste in the federal districts and Russia as a whole is presented. The volume and composition of waste is determined by the economic activity and specific characteristics of federal districts. It was noted that pelletizing is an effective technology for the disposal of many types of waste, but the great heterogeneity of feedstock and granulation methods prevent the production of high-quality pellets. The fuel component of pellet in the cost of thermal energy was evaluated, whichshowed that the most efficient in use – wood pellets, least efficient – pellets from solid municipal waste.
