Rational use of fuel and energy resources of the Leningrad Region

Article preview

Rational use of local fuel resources in the Leningrad Region should be based on the widespread introduction of briquette fuel from forest waste peat. Developed systems for processing of primary raw materials and mobile resources, creating conditions for employment of the population and reducing the burden on the environment.

Utilization of carbon-bearing waste from the coal and timber industries

Article preview

Permanent accumulation of carbonaceous waste at coal mining and forestry enterprises in volumes comparable to those of primary recovery has a great impact on the environment. Even an environmental disaster can be foreseen in the near future. Large volumes of accumulated carbonaceous waste represent a valuable source of energy. Their effective processing will save large amounts of energy resources - oil, natural gas, coal and shale oil, which are the basis of the fuel and energy balance of Russia, and bring a large income. It is estimated that the annual shortage of refined fuel in the amount of about 10 million tons for the public utilities for the period until 2005 can be closed by the production of briquette fuel using recycled carbonaceous waste - waste from sawing and lumbering and shale deposits in the Leningrad region. Processing of sawmill and logging waste, shale oil into briquette fuel is possible at the cost of modern technologies and equipment, as well as unconventional technological solutions (compression of briquette mixture using uniaxial compression in hydraulic presses or compression "endless wedge" in extrusion presses).

Use of energy resources in regions with a forest fund (the example of the Leningrad Region)

Article preview

The rational use of large quantities of low-quality timber and timber waste, which are being used as fuel for power plants and boilers instead of fuel oil and coal is a considerable factor in saving on imported, non­renewable natural resources thereby decreasing the cost of heating as well as improving the state of the en­vironment in the region.
