Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The economy of Kazakhstan is one of the largest agro-industrial economies in Central Asia with a developed cultivation of crops. For this reason, significant volumes of agricultural waste are generated. Currently, the resulting manure is not decontaminated and it is not processed: there are no systems for its disposal. Low temperatures contribute to the preservation of pathogenic microflora and weed seeds in manure piles, and in the spring with meltwater they fall into lakes and reservoirs. The lands of settlements and open water bodies are intensively polluted with organic and biogenic substances of animal manure. In addition, the population of the remote regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan needs energy supply (electricity, heat, and gas). In order to solve these problems, one of the promising options for the remaining and unused volumes of waste is to convert them into biogas. The article presents data of the developed autonomous biogas plant and the main results of biogas production in autonomous bioenergy plants for farms located in remote areas in a mesophilic regime.
