| Abstract | ||
| The research problem is that Egypt is facing the problem of accumulation of garbage and animal waste, crises of unavailability of potane pipes and the burning of rice straw. Therefore, the research aims at exploiting the energy of biogas and other clean and new energies. If we are to solve the scientific problem of energy, May help to solve this problem, and some research can be applied on the ground in weeks, and the technologies that need to be implemented only a few weeks, the project biogas or biogas, and biogas is the gas due to the decomposition of oxygen organic matter. Biogas is derived from organic matter, a type of biofuel. The study aimed at conducting an economic assessment of the ways in which farmers use animal waste The biogas project ensures a safe way to get rid of some animal waste, produces cheap gas, and can be used to generate electricity in some rural homes. Bioenergy technology is beneficial to the national economy in terms of optimal use of animal waste in the countryside. According to the latest statistics issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, About 8 million heads of livestock produce 93 million kilograms of organic waste a day, and try to take advantage of these wastes and convert them into bioactive gas that will produce about 4 million cubic meters of bio-gas per day. This amount is enough to produce 43 million (12.5% of Egypt's total gas consumption per year). Bioenergy is expected to become an economic driving force in the near future in the Egyptian countryside as a source of thermal energy. Biogas can compress, Is largely used for the supply of mechanical vehicles with energy. Biogas is a renewable fuel that qualifies for renewable energy support, organic fertilizer for soil fertilization, feed production for animal feed and other applications, and may help to eliminate the accumulation of animal and animal waste. Plant The energy crisis and the increase in prices in Egypt required the study and treatment of new alternative methods to obtain clean energy. Therefore, the aim of the research was the disposal of animal waste in a proper way by converting it into energy through biogas units. The research relied on the descriptive approach to data collection and obtaining results through research and books Scientific and periodic reports and articles. The results of the research showed that the use of biogas units achieves very high economic and environmental efficiency and contributes to the disposal of the problem of animal waste. There is no doubt that the problem of the spread of diseases due to the abundance of animal waste To try to reach a final solution to this crisis and therefore we found that the exploitation of this wealth of animal waste to obtain clean energy. The field study was conducted for a sample of governorates for 71 units: 1- Governorate of Eastern and 19 units 2 - Fayoum Governorate and the number of 18 units 3 - Governorate of Minya and the number of 28 units and the number 4 - Assiut and the number of 3 units 5 - Menoufia and 2 units 6 - Al - Luxor 1 units The most important results were: 1. The most important economic factors affecting the production of biogas were found in the study sample: Price of labor, number of cows, weight of cows, volume of waste, value of biogas fertilizer, savings per month after establishment of the unit, cost of using the tube after implementation of the unit, extent of chemical savings after establishment of the unit. Affecting 6%, 2%, 3%, 6%, 3%, 3%, 5%, 4%, 7%, 3% and 4%, respectively. 2. The most important factors related to the environmental and health dimension are also shown in the study sample: The value of the biogas fertilizer, the unit size of your unit, did you visit the Biogas unit before establishing your unit, the chemical savings in the year. Affecting 6%, 8%, 5% and 68%, respectively. Therefore, the study recommends: the expansion of biogas production, which proved to reduce chemical use by 68% as shown by the results. | ||
