USING GIS FOR THE ЕVALUATION OF THE CROP RESIDUES ENERGY POTENTIAL

Abstract

This article suggests some features of the use of geographic information systems to assess and to analyze the energy potential of crop residues. The features of the analysis of this type of potential are defined at different levels of government: national, provincial, and district. Methods for assessing the energy potential of crop residues in this study suggest the use of a series of satellite images to identify crops that takes into account the nature of the areal distribution of this type of waste.
