An example of a village in Germany, which switched exclusively to alternative energy

0

A small village called Feldheim, Germany, uses only ecological energy for energy supply. The village is located 70 kilometers from the capital.

Delegates from our country visited the German settlement in mid-October this year. Sergey Savchuk, head of the State Department of Energy Efficiency, and a group of his colleagues arrived in Feldheim to be acquainted with their energy supply features in order to gain experience for Ukraine.

The transition of the village to “green energy” was financially provide by Energiequelle GmbH, which acted as an investor.

The inhabitants of the city of Troenbritsen and the municipality of the settlement also actively participated in the project implementation.

The main power of the village of Feldheim is a wind power plant. Its capacity is 123 megawatts the station includes 55 windmills. According to expert estimates, WEEE provides around 250 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year.

Another source of energy supply is a solar power plant with a power of 2.25 m megawatts. SES consists of thousands of solar panels and generates about 2700 megawatts of electricity per year. This amount of “green” energy is enough to meet the needs of about 6 hundred homes.

Also in the village was build a special accumulating station, which provides uninterrupted operation and maintenance of the frequency of the power network. This station has a capacity of 10 megawatts.

In addition, a biogas plant with a capacity of 526 kilowatts was install on the territory of Feldheim. It gives heaters and electricians the inhabitants of the village. Biogas plant works on animal wastes and silos.

As an auxiliary source of heat energy in the village, there is also a solid fuel boiler house, which operates thanks to the woodworking waste and put into operation in the winter. The newest boiler house provides the city with a decent amount of hot water and heating of dwellings.

The investor company has also taken care of the creation of private thermal and electric networks.

According to the head of the village, their settlement for the project was chose completely by accident. Not far from the village was a white wind park and SES built up, which led to the idea of ​​creating an independent power grid.

The villagers fully supported the project and were satisfied with the result for all 100%. After all, such an organization of energy supply to the village does not harm the environment and can save considerable savings for each particular family.

The inhabitants of the village invested in private funds for three thousand euros each. Now they pay for utility services by 30% less than before. In addition, residents of Feldheim have a guarantee that prices for electricity and heating will not increase, so the payback period of their investments will be reduce. In the country, on the contrary, the cost of energy and heat is constantly increasing.

The Head of the State Department of Energy Efficiency of Ukraine officially provided the invitation to the city of Troinbritsen (an energy independent settlement is part of it) to participate in the IX International Investment Business Forum “Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Industry”. This event is intend to demonstrate to the Ukrainian community the experience of other countries regarding the use of renewable energy sources. The importance of this event is that the majority of examples can theoretically be implement in the territory of our country.

In Kiev and Bonn offered to insulate the housing of Ukrainian citizens

0

November 10 in Kiev, environmental activists held an action near the walls of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. They called on the government to increase financing for energy efficiency measures, which includes warming housing and a significant reduction in the percentage of fossil fuel use.

Activists point out that for this it is necessary to increase funding to 1% of the state budget. In Bonn, Germany, delegates of civil associations, participants of the UN conference on climate change, COP23, supported Ukrainian activists.

Irina Stavchuk, leader of the social movement “Ekodiya”, said that the state program to support energy efficiency in the homes of Ukrainian citizens is a real chance to save money on paying heat energy, to live in optimal conditions. Moreover, this helps to reduce the dependency on imported gas and has a significant role in protecting the climate overall planet. That is why they require the Cabinet toallocate for energy efficiency programs at least 1% of the budget at all levels. In addition, a similar event was held in Bonn near the monument to Beethoven with the same appeal.

During the period of the action, more than 2,500 leaflets were hand to the Ukrainian Prime Minister V. Groisman, where the population calls for an increase in the costs of housing insulation.

This year in Ukraine allocated for the activities only 0.1% of the budget and the same amount is plan for next year.

Activists estimated that this amount is equal to 800 million hryvnia, and this is enough to insulate a maximum of 100 residential houses throughout the country. Of course, on the scale of Ukraine this will not bring a noticeable result in reducing fuel use.

Considering the experts’ assessment, it is necessary to almost 150 billion UAH each year for updating the country’s multi-apartment housing stock, which is more than 18 million premises, for 20 years, and bringing it in line with European standards of energy efficiency.

On November 6, Bonn opened the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, COP23. It gathers multiple delegations from different countries to consider the possibilities of implementing the Paris Agreement, which will reduce the amount of emissions to the atmosphere.

These shares are interpret around the world as an opportunity quickly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and associated emissions.

Innovative for Ukraine program for the recycling and reuse of bags from polyethylene was open in Odessa

0

The first project in the country for processing with the purpose of re-use of polyethylene products began its work in Odessa. In places of reception of things of firm “KIMS” which has united a number of dry-cleaners in a city, will place specialized urns for accumulation of used packages. The accumulated mass of polyethylene raw materials the company not only sorts, but also at its own expense sends for destruction or further processing, UNIAN said.

“From the very first days our company has carefully monitored the environmental and safety of any of the stages of production, using the most modern equipment and chemicals for chemical substances that have little effect on the ecological situation.

This program we plan to make another important contribution to the protection and support of the ecology of Ukraine “, – said the director of the company A. Kogan at a recent press conference.

E.Kurkina, manager of the WWF branch in Ukraine (World Natural Fund), during the conference referred to statistics: every year, more than 280 million tons of plastic products are send to waste, and production of this material increases by 11% per year. In addition, the following fact was voice: every minute tens of millions of people wrap something in a package or throw out plastic containers. As for the data for our country, one person during the year leaves an average of 250 kg of waste, up to 15% of which – plastic and polyethylene products. Approximately 93% of garbage goes to Ukrainian landfills, and plastic and polyethylene are transport outside their borders.

Olesya Krock, the organizer of the Odessa school, which teaches optimized sorting of garbage and waste, asks residents of the city not to throw out packages of polyethylene, but send them for processing.

“Most often the plastic bag is operated within half an hour, but in the environment it is 100 years old.”

After passing the tests in Odessa, the program is planned to be expanded in 8 cities of the country where the departments of “KIMS” are located.

They also invite other companies to follow their example and install the same containers in their enterprises to collect plastic bags for disposal and recycling.

Not far from the capital, plans to build a non-energy-dependent settlement that will not have utilities

0

In the near future, near Kiev, they plan to build a specific settlement, which will be calculate for some 50,000 inhabitants. The city will be completely energy independent and will not need centralized utilities. The company ElektroUkraine will carry out the implementation of this kind of projects in the territory of Ukraine. Currently, the company is part of the international group EST (ELECTRO SOLAR TECH), which actively develops and supports energy-efficient projects.

The representative of “ElectroUkraine” said that the start of construction is schedule for spring 2018. In addition, the executive director of the firm Tarasov Volodymyr said that the settlement will be not alone, but at least two.

Now, the company-developer has already acquired two land plots under non-energy-dependent settlements. One of them is located in the Boryspil direction, the other – in Zhytomyr. One settlement will be calculate for 260 households. Today, the company’s representatives are designing housing, which area ranges from 40 to 160 meters square. The first houses are plant until the end of November next year. According to preliminary data, the cost of such housing will start at $ 25,000.

The company ElektroUkraine reported that residents of the innovative settlement would not pay utility bills. Volodymyr Tarasov highlighted the fact that the inhabitants of the non-energy-dependent settlement will be fully equipped with all necessary communications, but will not pay for the provision of centralized services.

The head of the developer company, Kravtsov Anatoly, noted that the newest settlement would be located on more than 4500 hectares of land. The main idea of ​​building such type of settlements is preservation of nature and life without utility payments. At this stage of the project implementation, a master plan for the further development of a non-energy-dependent town has already been establish.

At present, ElectroUkraine Company is engaged in the construction of SES near the capital. The power of the solar power plant will be 100 megawatts.

The director general of the company noted that the payback period of such production is 3-5 years. At the same time the warranty period of its work – not less than 25 years.

As an example, Andrei Kravtsov leads Chile. There, the local population for some time did not pay for electricity, because instead of expensive coal, they switched to the solar energy generated by the SES.

An ecological lifestyle on the example of a resident of Kyiv region

0

A resident of the village of Bobritsa of the Kyiv region has become an example of environmental consciousness and financial literacy for Ukrainians. Konnov Sergey built a private SES for 10 kilowatts, conducted a thermo-modernization of housing and recently got an electric car.

The husband is a co-founder of the firm for rendering legal services. The idea of ​​preserving the environment became interested in Mr. Sergey 3 years ago.

The first step towards the development of alternative energy sources was the installation of photovoltaic modules. Sergey Konnov located on the roof of the house and the economic structures of forty solar panels.

Mr. Sergiy argues that he has been encouraged to develop alternative energy sources by modern tariffs for electricity. Electricity prices are rising very rapidly, but this was not the main factor behind the installation of solar panels.

The owner of the energy-efficient mansion notes that preserving nature is the main goal. In addition, a private SES is primarily a savings, additional earnings and a reasonable use of own funds.

Beginning in 2015, Mr. Sergey sells the energy produced by his solar power plant. The surplus turns out to be quite significant, so the owner of the estate has an annual income of just under 50 thousand hryvnia.

Sergey Konnov informed that SES cost him almost a quarter million hryvnias. One kilowatt of solar station costs about a thousand dollars. With the current earnings from the sale of electricity currently in existence, the payback period will be around six years.

In addition, the environmental activist is convinced that such investment is the most rational. SES allows you to make money, as opposed to a bank account, when it comes to using your own savings. Moreover, now, the state in every way contributes to the development of private enterprises, and thus obtain a profitable loan will not be a problem.

The care of the solar panels is to periodically clean them from dust and change the angle of inclination for greater productivity of their work. It should also be note that panels would work for about twenty years.

SES for Konnov Sergey became the impetus for further development of the ecological way of life. The second step in this difficult business was the purchase of an electric car. Next – insulation of housing, through which the owner began to noticeable saves gas, which has risen in price by almost seven times.

Mr. Sergey is currently taking part in a separate collection of household waste. Such an initiative left the community of Bobritsy and was fully support by the inhabitants.

The sorted garbage is delivery to special waste collection points. In the early stages, villagers paid for garbage payments themselves, but now such a need has disappeared.

In addition to everything, Mr. Sergey also installed light from LEDs. It should be note that the street lighting of the village Bobritsy – LED. The village council and representatives of the community are closely involved with this issue.

An example of a family-friendly environmental business in Poland

0

Poland has developed a productive foundation for the development of environmental entrepreneurship within individual families. The basic idea that unites enterprises of this type is to create a cleaner environment.

The first vivid example of the family business of ecological orientation is the Marek Guza family. He started a company specializing in the manufacture of metal waste containers called Urbanbin. The company has been successfully operating for almost a quarter of a century. The metal containers manufactured by the Marek Company have a volume of 110-1100 liters. In addition, it should be note that Mr. Guz, due to his company, hired about 20 people.

The owner himself said that before he opened the company, he spent some time studying the municipal waste recycling market. A little later, he developed several containers of different configurations and colors. Marek Guza containers have chips that report fullness and fit different types of garbage trucks.

Poles decided to install special sensors in garbage cans, which determine their uniqueness and relation to the owner. In addition, in Poland it is accept to close the containers to the lock to prevent the entry of foreign litter into the tank. Before the garbage can collect waste, they are weigh. This allows the Poles to pay only for a specific weight.

Marek Guz also notes that his containers are several times stronger and will last much longer than those made of plastic will. The price of such garbage cans is only 20-30 percent higher.

Homeland Lusina also gave a start to Haba to a quarter century ago. The company specializes in cleaning water for private households. At present, the company has already created 35 jobs for the residents of the town Grodzhik, in which it is located.

The company Haba is engaged in manufacturing of treatment plants, which have been specially certify in Poland. These devices do not take up much space in a private household.

It should also be note that the water purified by them does not have any foreign odors and fully meets the purification standards established in the country.

The most compact installation of a water treatment system can serve a family of four people. It is able to process 2.3 cubic meters of wastewater. The cost of such an installation – 7 thousand zlotys, which corresponds to almost 50 thousand hryvnia. The leading specialist of the company, Martha Lusin, says that such a system can be located by digging into the ground. If it is then cover with a hatch, then it will be extremely difficult to notice it.

The company Lusin’s family produces an extensive line of water treatment plants that have demand in Poland, and beyond its borders.

A vivid example of family business is VIVE Textile Recycling. The period of its existence is also 25 years, as in the examples described above. The firm is a leader in the field of recycling of textile products.

The company has provided jobs for about 1200 people. Such a number of workers are able to recycle four hundred tons of textiles per day, turning it into industrial products.

The enterprise has special lines, through which used things are sort according to the composition of fabric, color and purpose. If the thing is qualitative and looks good, it is send for washing and special treatment, and from there – to VIVE Profit stores. Other things are subject to grinding and granulation. The granules are then use as raw material to create a new product.

In order to create industrial wipes or special sidewalk slabs (more like room laminate), garden benches or tables resembling wood to granules add 10 percent of the plastic bags.

Capacities for gathering used things are install in the passable places of Poland.

Polish designer Mariusz Przybylski created a whole collection of clothing with the support of the VIVE Textile Recycling Group. This move changed the attitude to things created from recycled material. The collection of the eminent designer was name “Transformation” and was present at the event POL-ECO-SYSTEM 2017.

In Poland, legislation and local government with state support provide favorable conditions for family business. This leads to the fact that saving the environment from social investment becomes an economically profitable lesson.

Created innovative solar panels, which can be deployed on the ground by the principle of carpet

0

The process of installing solar panels in most cases involves many difficulties. This process was simplify to the impossibility of scientists from England. New solar panels called Roll-Array.

The newest development of English engineers is present in the form of an array, which includes high-efficiency photocells. The invention is lay on the surface as a carpet. Such solar panels are very flexible and supple. When transporting Roll-Array roll into a roll.

The idea of ​​creating panels belongs to the famous traveler John Hingley. The inventor wanted to create an alternative energy source that could be install in hard-to-reach regions. Now, its development has stirred up the minds of the scientific community.

A combination of copper-indium-gallium selenide (CIGS) would use to create the roll solar panels. These elements are fix on the surface of a strong fabric, which is the basis. It should be note that solar panels, thanks to this structure, could easily withstand many folds and deployments.

The creator of the roller panels asserts that the maximum power of his invention is achieve after just a couple of minutes after its location on the ground. John Hingley also notes that, in its essence, the installation is a special microscopic network in one package. Rolling solar panels can work without failures around the clock.

The system is able would quickly join the productive work thanks to the impressive area of ​​the panel itself. Hingli created a special steel container for transporting the roll-up panels. The solar installation has a length of 50 meters and unfolds in a few minutes.

The inventor also said that his development could be use in the conditions of military operations, with the elimination of disasters after natural disasters, in carrying out various kinds of rescue activities.

In addition, roll solar panels could be use in those regions of the globe where it is impossible to conduct electricity. The list also includes the areas of research expeditions.

John Hingley drew attention to the fact that about a quarter of the world’s population cannot use central power grids, and his invention will help solve this problem.

Innovative panels can be deploy easily with the presence of a car as an SUV. The creators say that their solar panels can produce about 100 kilowatts per hour of electricity. Such indicators are ten times higher than the productivity of the already existing alternative portable panel devices on the market.

The company-manufacturer at this stage reports that it is able to perform any meters of the device, precisely following the customer’s requirements.

To date, the company Renovagen (manufacturing company) is working on a small number of private orders. Full-fledged production can be organize with the presence of certain enabling documents, which the company still needs to receive.

According to preliminary calculations, the price of innovative panels will vary between 70-150 thousand dollars.

In Rivne region, a thermal power plant that will function on a woodchip would soon building, and seven schools will be insulated

0

The city of Dubno in the Rivne region will enter the energy map of Ukraine in the near future due to the appearance of a thermal power plant there, which will work due to waste from wood processing. In addition, there are plans to warm up seven educational institutions there using the mechanism of energy service agreements.

This was discusse in detail during a meeting of the city council at the end of September this year. Authorized representatives attended the meeting from ESCO and Power Dubno.

The Biological Thermal Power Plant will have a capacity of 4 megawatts. It will generate not only electricity but also heat energy. Previously, it is plan that the thermal power plant will be able to heat about a dozen school premises, kindergartens and small enterprises.

Specialists estimated that the price for electricity produced from wood chips would be 35 percent less.

Representatives of the developer company report that the initial stage of the construction of the TPP is schedule for the beginning of March next year.

Under construction, the local authorities had allocated a land plot of almost 8 hectares. This area will be provide to the developer for rent for 25 years. Permit documents for the exploitation of land were issue by LLC “Power Dubno” as early as last fall. Technical documents for the lease of the territory to date are also agree.

By the spring of 2018, the developer must conduct a detailed audit for further installation. Experts estimate that the construction of a thermal power plant should take about a year and a half.

The investor has registered the firm at the place of construction so that the money paid for the lease went to the local budget. The implementation of this project will bring the city about 300,000 UAH annually as a rent.

For the city itself, the construction of such a large-scale enterprise will play a vital role.

First, Dubno will be able to significantly increase the level of energy independence and modernize a number of socially significant buildings. Secondly, the construction of the TPP will allow the cities to reduce the amount of gas used and save on the payment of energy services bills.

Representatives of the Limited Liability Company “Power of Dubno” report that near the thermal power plant they are planning to build an enterprise that will produce bottled water. This power will also contribute to the local budget. In addition, the plant will provide jobs for residents of Dubno.

Investors plan to pay particular attention to modernizing the city’s energy-saving system.

Representatives of the developer company reported that by the end of 2017 a project would be implement, which would be bas on the ESCO mechanism. It will directly affect the seven educational institutions of Dubno. The project involves thermal modernization through insulation of buildings. This procedure will help save almost UAH 2 million annually on heating.

Ivano-Frankivsk water canal soon will include a solar power plant

0

The municipal enterprise “Ivano-Frankivskvodoekotehprom” in the near future will divide its land from the SES by 360 kilowatts.

The solar station is located at Ivano-Frankivs’k, Botanical Street, 2. The State Architectural and Construction Inspection have already fixed the certificate of the beginning of building. Representatives of the company-builder (SkyFall Energy LLC) reported that construction of new solar facilities would take place on the territory allocated by the city council, with a total area of ​​almost a hectare. It should be note that the land plot for SES was grant to the company for a period of 49 years. In addition, the developer must pay for the use of the site one percent of the established value of this land. From the beginning of next year, the percentage will increase to three.

As a contractor for the construction of a solar power plant, the limited liability company “Sannmwatt.ya” has acted.

 

The head of the company-developer Ivanyuk Andrey said that a number of problems would accompany the construction of the SES in the territory of the CP «Ivano-Frankivskvodoekotehprom». Firstly, on the allocated site there are communications of a water canal. Therefore, the installation of panels by screwing them into the ground becomes impossible.

According to the project, the developer will have to collect special suspension structures to commission the solar panels of the station. Secondly, the land plot on the Botanical, 2 costs almost eight times more than similar, just on the outskirts of the city.

According to preliminary calculations, the solar power plant will cost about 360,000 dollars. The head of SkyFon Energy LLC noted that the estimate is calculate according to this ratio: one thousand dollars per one kilowatt of power with the addition of costs for the installation of outdoor networks. Subject to the introduction of SES in operation in 2018, it will pay off within seven years. Such calculations were make based on a “green” tariff (15 eurocents). After 2019, the cost of a kilowatt of electricity will be reduce to 12 eurocents.

The head of SkyFoll Energy also noted that from the point of view of earnings, this SES is not profitable, because significant costs only provide for installation.

The head of the company-builder admitted that the solar power plant will present new jobs to the residents of the city and will become an example of how additional sources of replenishment of the state treasury can be develop at already existing enterprises.

Andrey Ivanyuk also noted that the construction of a solar power plant is a very profitable event for the city itself. The land plot on which the water canal communications are currently idle is idle, it is impossible to erect something on it. In addition, installed there solar panels will replenish the local budget for 49 years.

Now, the final project of the SES is being finalize. The solar power plant is plan to putting into operation next year.

The head of the company-builder also noted that the lion’s share of time would be occupy by all kinds of statements and permits from officials. You can make the installation of the station in a couple of months.

It is not yet know whether the generated SES energy will be use directly by the water canal.

In the city of Zaporozhye intend to reduce the largest among European countries wind power plant and SES in the nuclear power plant

0

Priazovsky and Melitopol districts in Zaporozhye soon have to become owners of wind power plants with a capacity of 500 megawatts. Experts in the field of alternative energy note that this facility will become the largest in Europe. Construction of a wind power plant will cost about 700,000,000 euros, according to preliminary estimates.

The wind farm will be complete by the end of next year. The firm “Yurokyip Ukraine” acts as an investor in this project. Representatives of the company report that about three hundred million euros are already reserved for construction.

More than half of the capacities (350 MW) will be located within the limits of the Girsivskyi unified territorial community, located in the Priazovsky district. The company-developer must invest in the development of OTG about 350 000 US dollars.

The agreement between the representatives of the community and the investor company was sign last week. According to the clauses of the agreement, the monetary contributions will be provide in several stages and will be direct to the development of the infrastructure. The contract also states that a thousand investment dollars will correspond to one megawatt of the capacity of the future wind power station.

At present, in the territory of the Zaporozhye region, the largest in the Soviet Union – Botievskaya operates. The wind power plant has a capacity of 200 megawatts. There are 65 turbines located on this site. Experts have estimated that Botievskaya VES has cost investors almost 340 million euros. It was pet into operation in 2014.

In addition to wind power in the territory of the region, also earn a 16-megawatt solar power station. Placing it is plan within Zaporizhzhya NPP in the city of Energodar. The pilot project has already been approve by NNEGC “Energoatom”.

SES will become a backup energy source, if for some reason the nuclear power plant will remain without electricity. In addition, the solar energy generated by the solar power plant will be soul at the green tariff.

NNEGC “Energoatom” representatives stated that the construction of SES is a kind of verification of the effectiveness of such a hybrid project. The developer company intends to reveal the performance of the interaction between the solar power plant and the atomic power plant.

To date, a significant portion of the funds for construction has already been allocate and a specific project has been approve. Installation of SES will be complete in the spring of next year.
