The relevance of using renewable energy sources is determined by the objectives of sustainable
development. The object of research is woodworking waste in the fuel balance of the regional heat supply
system of the Transbaikal Territory. The subject of the study is the process of plasma initiation of composite
fuel mixtures combustion based on woodworking waste and low-grade brown coals, as well as its technical
and economic efficiency. The purpose of the presented study is a feasibility study on the use of a woodworking
waste mixture and waste from sorting low-grade brown coals of the Transbaikal Territory in the regional heat
supply system. The tasks of the study include conducting a feasibility study on the use of composite fuel
mixtures in a regional heat supply system, and an experimental study of their plasma ignition and burning. The
technological core that provides the possibility of using these mixtures is plasma fuel systems. The rationale
for the technology effectiveness is determined by the significant budgetary efficiency of woodworking waste
use within the framework of the «green» economy concept. Experimental studies have been conducted to
substantiate the technical feasibility of plasma initiation of the combustion process of woodworking waste
mixture and low-grade brown coals. The conducted research has shown the effectiveness and technical
feasibility of this development. According to the results of the study, it is shown that the reorientation to the
domestic sales market with a shift in attention to fuel production for modern heat supply systems is not just
a necessary measure, but a strategic transition to the concept of «green» industrialization of forestry. This
approach combines several advantages: it integrates into the existing energy infrastructure, forms a complete
value-added cycle within the region and offers a realistic, scalable and environmentally friendly development
vector over the horizon of several years. Conclusions and prospects are as follows: the conducted research has
proved the technical feasibility and effectiveness of plasma fuel systems use for burning composite mixtures
from woodworking waste and brown coal. The prospects for further work are related to the development of a
roadmap for technology implementation and scaling the results at the regional energy system level. |
