stations in Warmia and Mazury in pro-ecological cohesive
system of power production and energy supply
Some prerequisites
Trzcin
•
water – natural treasure of the region
•
at present there are 81 facilities and the estimated
number of convenient places is about 500
•
mostly bad shape and poor efficiency
•
many historical facilities need for restoration

Project
Development of highly efficient agrotechnologies for
lignocellulosic energy crops on the basis of biological
achievements and with respect to the environment, and
social and economic conditions of the macroregion
Some prerequisites
•
lignocellulosic biomass – natural treasure and
potential of the region (forests, agriculture profile of
the macroregion, a great amount of fallows and
marginal lands)
•
new breeding forms of lignocellulosic plants
•
to increase entrepreneurial activity in rural areas
and standard of living

Project of implementation
A new strategy for development of local resources of
renewable energy based on closed aquatic fito-energy
systems
Specific problem to be addressed?
|
a new method of aquatic biomass
production and its conversion. The
aquatic biomass produced in a special
reactor is the source of raw material to be
fermented in an anaerobic reactor.
Biogas as the main product of
fermentation is the source of CH4 and
CO2. The CH4 will be utilized as the
source of energy and the CO2 will be
recycled to stimulate the aquatic biomass
growth.
