During this year, 4 stations operating on the basis of biological gas were opened on our territory. Experts estimate that the total capacity of the objects is more than seven megawatts. It should be noted that in the dynamics of the introduction of alternative enterprises noticeable significant increase – more than 24 percent. In 2016, Ukraine had a bit more than 30 megawatts of capacity from biogas plants. Experts from the representatives of biogas enterprises distinguish the complex of the company “Ukraine-2001”, the first stage of which has a capacity of just over five megawatts.

However, the biogas station Astarta-Kyiv received the recognized championship on the territory of Ukraine. The work of the complex is aim not at the generation of electricity, but in the partial replacement of natural gas, which serves as fuel for various industrial processes. It should be note that at the same time the capacity of the complex is slightly less than 14 megawatts.

During the current year, the biogas station, located in the city of Theophilop on Khmelnytskyi, issued a green tariff. Other companies will be actively involved in this issue already in early 2018.

In turn, the biogas plants of the company “Elita” and “Sigma” are in the process of designing the “green” tariff.

According to experts, the registration of a green tariff for biogas plants covered 5 firms during the current year:

– “Danosha”;

– “Сільгосппродукт”;

– MHP;

– Avant-Garde;

– “Ukraine-2001”.

At the end of last year, a biogas plant stationed in the territory of the agro-firm “Avangard” was putting into operation in Ukraine. Its power was more than three megawatts.

17.5 megawatts of these capacities will be add to these capacities, which will be supplied by biogas complexes in “Danosha”, “Gals-Agro”, “MHP” and “Agroservice”.

It should also be note that in the winter of the current year, the first in our country, the chemical laboratory of the company Ekoprode became the owner of the certificate. This document regulates its activity in the field of measurement of biogas production parameters.

The owners of three stationary ecomonitoring posts were the Dnieper, Pavlograd and Nikopol. Modern equipment was covered in a project previously developed by a scientific group, which included representatives of the Dnipro Regional State Administration, the regional council and the public eco-council, adm.dp.gov.ua.

Pavel Hazan, a member of the permanent council of the Regional Council for Ecology and Energy Conservation, explained that these installations collect and present information based on 14 indicators.

The expert also specified that absolutely any person can now know not only the air temperature, but also the levels of its humidity and pollution. The plans are to disseminate the received data on the Internet, and not for scientific purposes, but for the convenience of the common people and for the improvement of their living conditions.

All information will be distributed in open access to ecoinfo.pro.

To date, the ecomonitoring units are in the testing state. V.Reznichenko, head of the Dnipro Regional State Administration explains: “Ecomonitoring is a project that only recently started working. Stationary installations provide the three cities with maximum information about the state of the environment.

” The purchase of equipment and the installation of posts were realized at the expense of regional budget funds. And, as A.Angurets notes, the head of the OD “Green World – Friends of the Earth”, the main part of the equipment from Ukrainian manufacturers, as it is relatively cheaper to maintain, and the warranty period is two years.

According to the head of the department of ecology and natural resources of the Dnipro Regional State Administration R. Strelets, this initiative allows us to give a real assessment of the state of the environment. “By the end of the year, a project will be presented that will allow us to identify places for installing environmental outposts in the region,” the expert explains. – The statistics, which operate the main polluting enterprises, is not exactly accurate, as it is formed due to calculation methods. Preliminary calculations show that in the territory of the Dnipro region, it is necessary to mount about 50 eco-monitoring stationary posts.

To date, the Dnipro region has been actively involved in the protection of the environment, said V. Reznichenko. “We clean the rivers, eliminate flooding, fill the reservoirs with fish,” he continues. – A mobile laboratory station was recently purchased, which currently operates in the residential area Victory in the Dnieper.

Kiev Park “Khreshchatyk” will soon be integrate with the Vladimir hill new bridge, and will be equipped with solar panels. The bridge will be designe for pedestrians and cyclists. The solar panels on the bridge will provide environmental lighting.

On December 14 the project plan was approved at a meeting of the town-planning council. According to the plan, the new project will become a full-scale construction, the capacity of which will be calculate not only for pedestrians and cyclists, but also for snow removal equipment. The issue of movement of snow-removing machinery remains relevant for the area, so the new project will be able to solve many problems in bad weather conditions. In addition, the bridge will be equipped with observation platforms, lighting and video surveillance.

According to the construction plan, a bicycle path will be located in the middle of the bridge, six meters wide. It is also plan to install a heating system for the bike path to prevent the accumulation of snow, water and ice in winter – the main problems of the Ukrainian winter.

But the main feature will be the installation of solar panels. They are necessary for the production of electrical energy in an environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly way. The received electricity will be direct to the bridge lighting.

The place for future construction is very difficult in the architectural sense. For the construction of the bridge will need a support not less than 36 meters in height. It will also be very difficult to harmoniously building this bridge into the surrounding architectural environment – the usual bridges here will be out of place. The architects have another difficult task: the bridge should be almost invisible from the left bank of the Dnieper; otherwise, the building will look anesthetically and stand out among other architectural structures.

The zone of construction is reserved; therefore, the project will be transfer to the UNESCO commission for the approval of construction. The length of the bridge is 222 meters. The bridge will be located at a high altitude, in the construction there will be three zigzags.

Features of this strategy will be such that pedestrians on each of the sections of the bridge will be able to see before them different panoramas. From the height of this architectural structure, you can see the key areas of Kiev – Podol, northern regions, the European Square, Troeschin, the banks of the Dnieper, the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. However, the main aesthetic idea of ​​the bridge – pedestrians will be able to see Prince Vladimir at the same level with him – the face and clothes of the prince will be as in the palm of your hand. Possibilities so close to see the Grand Duke of Kiev and the guests of the city were not yet.

The bridge will be equipped with a viewing platform with a glass floor. Pedestrians will be able to admire the landscapes of Kiev right under your feet. Lighting of the bridge will be energy saving, and in the future, it is plan to install and illumination at night. In addition, the bridge will be equipped with security systems and video cameras – all with the latest technology.

The construction of the bridge is an important milestone in the combination of tourist cities in Kiev – the bridge will connect two great shrines of the Ukrainian capital – the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and the Park of Glory. The construction of the bridge will be fund from the city budget. Already next year, when the project will be approve and some formalities are resolved, the construction of the bridge will finally begin.

The bridge will make the travel between the main tourist sites of the capital comfortable, fast and interesting, and solar panels will make the lighting and video surveillance system work energy saving, economically profitable and environmentally friendly.

In Ukraine the development of the innovative energy association “Ukrainian Hydrogen Council” is underway.

For the first time the program will be presented during the first national hydrogen energy forum “H2U- Unlimited Energy for Ukraine”, which will be held in May 2018 in Kiev, epravda.com.ua reports.

The main direction of the association, uniting the true masters of the sphere of hydrogen renewable and newest energy in Ukraine – interaction with research institutes, support of scientific projects and energy startups of the youth of our state.

The Council informs in its plans to popularize a new understanding of energy use and introduce innovative and, at the same time, real types of energy-saving consumption. In order to protect the interests of the hydrogen power industry and implement their plans, plans to cooperate constructively with state government bodies and participate in the design of Ukraine’s energy development strategy.

The international group of experts in the field of hydrogen energy proposes to create and head the Ukrainian Hydrogen Association A. Repkin, a businessman who invests a lot of money in this type of energy.

“The Association plans to inform and educate the situation in the country to achieve the most transparent and equal conditions for all project participants.

“In all the developed world, they do not share sources of natural energy, they are formed into powerful and complex energy systems,” he notes. – For example, for hydrogen energy, the primary energy resource is ordinary water in combination with natural solar energy, wind and energy of geothermal water. That is why we propose to join representatives of all types of renewable energy of Ukraine in the Hydrogen Council. ”

It is assumed that the Hydrogen Council, which is called upon to develop these energy systems in our country, will become an equal member of the World Organization of Experts on Hydrogen Energy “Hydrogen Council”. This association is in close cooperation with the world-renowned information technology and analytics agencies, international organizations.

In Ukraine, it is planned to create a single system for electronic commerce of biofuels, which will then be approved by the legislative bodies.
According to the project, its operator has no right to carry out any operations with biofuel. Otherwise, the Department of State Energy Efficiency has the right to impose a fine on the offender.

The creation of such an exchange provides that a fifth of all leshozes involved in biofuel sales will use this system in their work. For this purpose, it is planned to assign to forestry the obligation to deliver chips to the nearest traffic junction, most of which will be used in the production of fuel.

This feature is inconvenient and unprofitable for the leshozes, because they will have additional transportation costs. The electronic exchange also proposes to prohibit the burning of a saber.

Full implementation of the system is expected within 5 years, and its use will become mandatory for owners of the “green” tariff. According to the plan, the bill will be introduced in early 2018, and approved in its second half. The system itself will be launched in 2019.

To date, TPP purchases fuel in the leshozes, which participate in the respective auctions every quarter. At the moment, in our country, trades are carried out at auctions in the case of wood sales. For public procurement there is a ProZorro system. In Ukraine, there are about 650 such exchanges, but they are inefficient, have low sales volumes, so they are not able to compete with the new system and will be forced to use it. G.Geleukha, CEO of the Bioenergy Association, notes that this system will help to regulate the price of the fuel market, as now there is a huge price gap – from 500 to 1500 UAH per ton of chips. The use of a similar system in Lithuania reduced the price of biofuels to 20%.

The new Energy Strategy was approved at the end of the third quarter of 2017. It assumes a reduction in coal consumption with simultaneous increase in the consumption of alternative energy. Forecasts state that by 2035 these figures will be equal.

B. Domnitsky, a regular pensioner living in the Cherkassy region, mounted on the roof of his home a real SES, whose capacity is 10 kW. Fifty-eight panels that work on the energy of the sun not only fully provided it with electricity, but also allow the realization of its remains! Thus, he gets a good increase to the pension in the amount of 7 thousand UAH.

Starting capital he got from selling his business. However, the proceeds were not sent to the deposit, but used them to improve the quality of life. As the pensioner himself says, he accidentally stumbled on the Internet on the SES project on the Internet and became very interested. The acquisition cost him 14 thousand euros and it is worth acknowledging that this is a very profitable investment of money.

“For one month you can earn up to 7 thousand UAH. It seems to me that this is an excellent addition to pension payments. I do not need to work – the sun does it for me. And on this I get up to 100 000 hryvnia / year! “- rejoices the pensioner.

B.Domnitskiy notes that the purchase of solar panels and their installation proved to be much easier than the design of special permits for using the “green tariff”. He is sure that this happened due to a clear formulation of the goal and a steady adherence to it. Already in three months SES started to bring the first income. His wife fully supported his wife, but now his neighbors can only envy such ingenuity compatriot.

The needs of the home are not more than 200 kW / month, all the rest is the net profit. Over the past two years, solar panels have generated almost 60 thousand kVA, so that trade does not stop either in summer or in winter. ”

Recently, the pensioner has become interested in another project – own production of solar collectors, which can be used to heat water. Such an invention, he said, will help save more than half of the family’s budget.
