This article describes using renewable energy for bioethanol production. Kostanay
Region is a developed agricultural region. Most part of its area is under grain crops and corn, oil
crops and vegetables. In the course of production, transportation, storage and processing of
agricultural crops, a large part of them becomes unsuitable for use; in future they cannot be used
for the intended purpose. Substandard product often stays in the fields to rot or is thrown away.
Information considered in this article demonstrates that agricultural waste can be used to produce
rather inexpensive bioethanol. Most part of the population in this region is rural. Settlements are
far apart from each. It would be reasonable to use bioethanol as a source of electric and thermal
energy to meet the needs of rural residents and infrastructure. Wastes from bioethanol production
can be used for feeding animal stock what is also important for rural areas and reduces
environmental burden. In the course of human life, solid waste is formed that is suitable for
producing bioethanol, and consequently, for generating thermal and electric energy. Presented
calculations show the feasibility of processing municipal solid waste into bioethanol. EU
countries successfully use researches performed by their scientists for developing technologies
for the production of bioethanol and synthetic fuels. Kazakhstan, with its experience in cultivation
of oilseeds and required planted area, can successfully develop bioethanol industry. No researches
in this respect have been conducted to this day in Kazakhstan. Using bioethanol provides
consumers with their own energy sources that meet quality standards, thereby increasing energy
security of region, reducing the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere, and creating
small-scale energy enterprises where rural residents can work.
