There are more fires per unit area in Ukraine than in Poland, Slovakia, Belarus, Hungary and other European countries.

But there is another way!

Instead of burning straw, corn stalks and other agricultural residues on the fields, they can be used to produce energy.

Heat and electricity production from agricultural residues – a bioenergy sector with great potential!
