“…On the other hand, apparently, it has no relevance for cereal production area. The findings are consistent with case of German biogas industry that more significantly affects green (Lajdová et al 2016). Though, VECM model does not explain all the variability of the response data that can be explained by the lower level of biogas industry development in Slovakia where only 107 BGPs were active in 2014, whereas e.g.…”

A standard concept of biogas plants -strong maize silage concept is due to its high economic advantage as the maize silage is one of the most eff ective substrate for anaerobic digestion in matter of biogas yield. Increasing demand for maize silage, refl ected in a rise of its price, endangers the economic eff ectiveness and therefore economic sustainability of the biogas sector. Th is situation also creates negative externalities related to upward pressure on food prices and lower livestock production. Moreover, biogas plants focused primarily on maize silage could increase the area of arable land for growing maize for energy purposes and decline the production of crops for human nutrition. Th e paper focuses on examination of consequences of maize cultivation intended for biogas production in case of Slovakia. Th e results show the impact of biogas production via anaerobic digestion on area of land used for maize production and live bovine animal production.

“…The obtained biogas is not inferior in quality to natural and can be used for heating, electricity generation and automotive fuel. Similar projects are being prepared for implementation also in Germany and Sweden [4][5]. In Denmark is situated the biogas plant which generates heat and electricity by processing residual biomass from more than 75 farms and industrial sites.…”

“…All this undoubtedly proves that biogas technologies are sustainable and economically reliable. With them, every country, municipality, industry, farm, and even household can receive a wide range of benefits -energy, economic, environmental and social [3][4][5]. In Bulgaria, the production of biogas using biomass and agricultural waste is regulated by legislation, fully synchronized with the European.…”

The permanent consumption increasing of energy, foods, techniques and other goods and serviced worldwide leads to the intensifier of their production and to the constant market expansion. In turn, the processes taking place in some of these productions are responsible for the deterioration of the quality of the environment. Over the last decade, science and industry have followed the environmental policies and one of the developing approaches is being the use of by-products as raw materials for new production. The waste to energy technologies meets the requirements both of sustainable managing of wastes and energy production by sources with zero carbon footprint. Typical for this technological approach is its local application and in this study is performed an overview analysis of the possibilities for utilization of livestock manures in systems for production of biogas in Bulgaria. Based on the statistical data for number, and type of farm animals in the country for 2020, their localization, and the potential for gas production of their manure, the calculations were made. The obtained results are presented by regional division and it was estimated that total 1142 installation with 500 kWh capacity could be realized in the investigated farms plants. The obtained results are promising and they are prerequisite for further technological and economic investigations of this waste to energy technology

Currently, we use about 13 000 GWh (47 PJ) of energy from biomass per year in Slovakia, whereby the biomass is accounted in the total use of energy from the RES for about 42% (Ďuďák 2009;Pepich 2010;Tauš et al 2010;Kopetz 2013).…”

Management of the bio-waste processing is a complex issue, which has not yet been elaborated for the municipal administration. Its importance can be seen in the synergic links of three key areas: the crisis in the energy, the bio-waste and its processing as the most prospective opportunity of crisis solution, and the management in the form of tool for the final solution. The main aim of the scientific paper is based on the theoretical knowledge and study of trends in the field of the renewable energy sources to create a universal exemplary model of decision-making for mayors in the process of the bio-waste management in the municipal sector. The necessary data were obtained using the questionnaire form and the data processing was carried out in the statistical program PSPP method Chi-Square, T-test and correlation. The main finding is that the energy crisis is understood as a significant shortage of supply of energy sources to the economy. The results confirm that the utilization rate of the municipal bio-waste for energy purposes is very low. An exemplary model was divided into two main groups, communes and towns. For a more relevant animation, the communes and towns were divided into three sub-categories according to the population. Recommendations are made regarding the collection, processing and use of the bio-waste for each group. Two of the three set out hypotheses were confirmed.
