In the Leningrad Oblast area, the amount of waste that is produced in the animal farms and large chicken farms equals to the amount of a large metropolitan area. Alone the industrial poultry plants produce huge amounts of manure waste. A single chicken farm can produce 50 000-70 000 tons of waste manure per year. The potential production capacity of biogas will be approximately 3-5 TWh/a.
