Assessment of the Condition of the Project Environment for the Implementation of Technologically Integrated Projects of the “European Green Deal” Using Maize Waste

Abstract

In the research carried out by the authors, an approach to the assessment of the project environment of technologically integrated “European Green Deal” projects using corn waste was developed, which takes into account the changing project environment, which determines the risk of the specific cost of disposal of corn waste. On the basis of the predicted approach and the established trends of changes in the specific volume of corn food products from its yield, as well as the specific cost of disposal of corn waste from its specific volume under the condition of maintaining the balance of organic carbon in the fields, a computer program in the Python 3.9 language was developed. The program makes it possible to speed up calculations and perform a quantitative assessment of the state of the project environment in certain regions of the implementation of projects of the “European Green Deal” (TIP of the EGD) using corn waste. An approach to assessing the state of the project environment of TIP of the EGD using corn waste is proposed. A block diagram of the algorithm for assessing the state of the project environment was created, which involves the implementation of ten stages. It provides for determining the dynamics of inequality of individual regions in terms of resource potential for the production of clean energy from corn waste according to the Gini index. The Gini index was used to assess three indicators that take full account of the unevenness and dispersion of raw materials in a given area for the production of clean energy. This provides a preliminary assessment of the risks to stakeholders for stakeholders in technologically integrated projects of the “European Green Deal” using maize waste. Based on the proposed approach, a computer program in Python 3.9 was developed. It provides an opportunity to speed up the calculations and perform a quantitative assessment, according to these indicators, of the state of the project environment in some regions regarding the TIP of the EGD. The uneven distribution of raw materials in the territory of Ukraine for the production of environmentally friendly energy from corn waste and the risk of value for stakeholders were assessed. It is established that in the territory of Ukraine there are nine regions (Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Chernivtsi), which do not ensure the preservation of the balance of organic carbon in the fields during long-term cultivation of corn. In addition, four regions of Ukraine (Vinnytsia, Poltava, Kherson, Zakarpattia) have an unfavorable project environment in terms of risk. In these regions, the Gini index exceeds the critical value of the three studied indicators. The Zakarpattia region is the most unfavorable for the implementation of the TIP of the EGD. It is established that the minimum material risk for the implementation of technologically integrated projects with the use of corn waste is observed in three regions of Ukraine (Sumy, Rivne, Ternopil).

European Green Deal: Justification of the Relationships between the Functional Indicators of Bioenergy Production Systems Using Organic Residential Waste Based on the Analysis of the State of Theory and Practice

“…Based on the analysis of the state of the art in theory and practice, it has been established that the implementation of EGDPs, which involve the production of bioenergy from organic waste generated in residential areas, is a rather urgent task in the world today [3][4][5][6]25,38]. This is due to the growth of the population in cities and the corresponding increase in the amount of generated waste, which negatively affects the environment due to the release of methane, a greenhouse gas with a high potential for global warming [6,25,[38][39][40][41]. The utilization of organic waste through the production of bioenergy is an effective scenario for solving this problem, both for residents of residential areas and for communities and regions [64][65][66][67][68].…”

“…The relevance of bioenergy production from organic waste generated in residential areas is growing as the population grows and the amount of waste generated increases. In addition, in many countries of the world, in particular in Ukraine, governments are taking measures to stimulate the production of renewable energy, including bioenergy [4][5][6]. The utilization of organic waste through the production of bioenergy is one of the effective scenarios for solving this problem, both for residents of residential areas and for communities and regions.…”

An Approach to Assessing the State of Organic Waste Generation in Community Households Based on Associative Learning

“…Solving the problem of energy and environmental security is a priority task for many countries of the world. The mentioned problem is quite relevant for the EU countries, which are looking for ways for energy independence and are strengthening environmental requirements for methods of obtaining energy and fuel [1][2][3][4]. This leads to the emergence of a set of scientific and applied problems in various directions of circular production of environmentally clean types of energy from various types of raw materials.…”

European Green Deal: The Impact of the Level of Renewable Energy Source and Gross Domestic Product per Capita on Energy Import Dependency

“…To overcome the above challenges, it is necessary to create a resource-efficient and competitive economy. This is stated in the European Union Deal [1][2][3]. According to the European Green Deal, by 2030, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 55% (compared to 1990) and ensure sustainable economic growth without increasing the use of fossil fuel resources.…”
