This paper analyzes the effective use of a mixture fly ash (MSWI-FA) and solid waste from flue gas treatment (MSWI-SW), which are by-products municipal incineration process. MSWI-FA (19 01 13*) MSWI-SW 07*) classified as hazardous due to their toxic metal content leaching potential, currently lack practical applications, unlike slag bottom 12). study tested these wastes partial substitutes for natural sand within range 0–20% cement mass. Statistical analysis experimental results allowed creation good quality models predicting effect substitution additives on compressive strength flexural (correlation 0.91 0.93, respectively). The with highest share (40% = 20% + 20%) was characterized by decrease in 1.3% 25.8%. Cement mortars synthesized (up each component) showed slightly lower consistency water absorption than control mortars. After frost resistance tests (25 cycles), ambiguous behavior, showing both increases decreases, indicating that percentage components alone is an insufficient set factors properties. concentration ions, i.e., Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, eluate after did not exceed legal levels pollutants introduced into waters, exception barium. However, its permissible required intended landfill. Using mixing plant this amount each, we save about EUR 10 cost purchasing (which 13% production costs 1 m3) 8 environmental fees when producing m3 mortar. proposed technology compatible objectives sustainable economy.

Abstract Economic analysis of the field housing construction indicates a certain specificity its functioning in Ukraine, which is primarily related to lack opportunities for developers invest their own resources this and need attract financing at early stages residential real estate objects. The results empirical dynamics indicate that main source public funds (from 55% more than 73% total volume investments, depending on year implementation). insufficient level quantitative qualitative provision Ukrainian citizens provokes constant demand objects, turn stimulates development construction. An commissioning volumes amount capital investments buildings steady growth these indicators over past 10 years, with exception crisis years 2014 2020, there was general decline national economy (2014 ) or even global (2020) economy, caused by extraordinary circumstances (the Revolution Dignity coronavirus epidemic).

Abstract The study suggests using biogas plants as highly flexible energy sources. A critical step in deciding on their use involves predictive insights the energy-efficiency metrics of proposed biogas-based supply system compared to current centralized model. Energy efficiency were assessed through an analysis balances, built average statistical data losses and consumption at facilities. This approach is recommended for early stages defining technical requirements, enabling informed decisions about constructing or upgrading existing systems. Implementing (BGP) local power sources proves economically competitive when systems like thermal (TPP) boiler BGPs share a similar structure with these but operate fewer areas needed operations. Integrating can help reduce national dependence imported energy, correct imbalances due flexibility, lower cost – whether electrical, thermal, chemical (such fertilizers) specific manufacturing enterprises. Data balance reveals that 73% BGP resources are concentrated biomass.
