ABSTRACT
The introduction of increasingly strict rules related to the processing and storage of animal waste, the growing demand for energy and the creation of sustainable animal husbandry have led to an increased interest in the production of clean energy from animal waste. The production of biogas and its subsequent burning on the farm is among the most promising technologies. One of the possibilities for the utilization of biogas is through the use of small aggregates for the combined production of electricity and heat energy based on an internal combustion engine. Analysis of such facilities that have been put into operation show that alternative technologies using biogas as fuel are better than conventional options, both from an economic and an environmental point of view. In this sense, however, the introduction of such a technology into operation is always associated with a number of risks, since investments in new technologies are influenced by technical and economic uncertainty. When planning and preparing the plan for the construction of such a biogas facility, the investment costs, technical support and profitability of the project are essential. Introducing critical economic and technical parameters to inform the farmer of all possible investments, operational and unforeseen risks will allow him to accept the challenges and choose the best solution for his farm. In this publication, an analysis and assessment of the risk has been carried out based on the characteristics of the technology – the possible consequences of the risk are also presented. A risk matrix related to the specifics of the object and the technology is proposed, with the help of which, the type of risk is identified. Based on an analysis of the obtained results, a motivated proposal for reducing the risk is made.

Analiza i ocena ryzyka realizacji instalacji kogeneracyjnej w hodowli żywca
biogaz, odpady zwierzęce, ocena ryzyka, identyfikacja ryzyka, analiza ryzyka
Wprowadzenie coraz ostrzejszych zasad związanych z przetwarzaniem i składowaniem odchodów zwierzęcych, rosnące zapotrzebowanie na energię oraz tworzenie zrównoważonej hodowli zwierząt spowodowały wzrost zainteresowania produkcją czystej energii z odchodów zwierzęcych. Produkcja biogazu i jego późniejsze spalanie w gospodarstwie należy do najbardziej obiecujących technologii. Jedną z możliwości wykorzystania biogazu jest wykorzystanie małych agregatów do skojarzonej produkcji energii elektrycznej i cieplnej w oparciu o silnik spalinowy. Analiza takich obiektów oddanych do użytku pokazuje, że alternatywne technologie wykorzystujące biogaz jako paliwo są lepsze od konwencjonalnych, zarówno z ekonomicznego, jak i środowiskowego punktu widzenia. Jednakże wprowadzenie takich technologii do eksploatacji zawsze wiąże się z szeregiem zagrożeń, ponieważ na inwestycje w nowe technologie wpływa niepewność techniczna i ekonomiczna. Przy planowaniu i przygotowaniu planu budowy takich biogazowni istotne są koszty inwestycji, wsparcie techniczne i opłacalność projektu. Przedstawienie rolnikowi krytycznych parametrów ekonomicznych i technicznych informujących go o wszelkich możliwych zagrożeniach inwestycyjnych, operacyjnych i nieprzewidywalnym ryzyku pozwoli mu podjąć wyzwania i wybrać najlepsze rozwiązanie dla swojego gospodarstwa. W publikacji dokonano analizy i oceny ryzyka w oparciu o charakterystykę technologii oraz przedstawiono możliwe konsekwencje tego ryzyka. Proponowana jest macierz ryzyka związana ze specyfiką obiektu i technologią, za pomocą której identyfikowany jest rodzaj ryzyka. Na podstawie analizy uzyskanych wyników formułowana jest umotywowana propozycja ograniczenia ryzyka.
