anaerobic digestion

The use of anaerobic digestate as a biofertilizer is quite promising in terms of soil protection technologies in view of the reduction of environmental risks from the use of mineral fertilizers and the positive impact on soil productivity, improvement of their quality and restoration of the humus layer. However, anaerobic digestion does not ensure the complete absence of environmental hazards due to a certain probability of heavy metals, pharmaceutical substances, and pathogenic microorganisms entering the soil with biofertilizer.

This article is devoted to the analysis and prospects of using different types of organic waste to achieve environmental goals. Due to the unique climate and natural resources, Ukraine has significant potential for biomass, the processing of which should solve urgent problems with the disposal of waste, as well as the production of alternative energy sources and biofertilizers.
