Gas and oil resources of our country tend to exhaust, and leading experts are discussing future of power engineering at II Forum of Renewable Energy.
      
      Existing gas resources are expected to give three times less gas, than they give today, by 2030. To cover country’s demand for gas, engineers need to start exploitation of a large new gas deposit every year, experts say.
      
      A good solution, according to experts, lies in alternative energy sources. Each region of our country can decide what renewable energy source fits best its environmental and weather conditions.
      
      At the moment solar batteries are used mainly in small rooms, however, first Russian solar power plant is already built in Belgorod Region; its trial run is scheduled for today. Wind energy also has a good potential, experts inform, especially in northern regions, where steady and strong winds blow. However, the simplest way of shifting to alternative energy sources is using agricultural wastes. Biogas power plant pays off within 2-3 years.
      
      Experts emphasize that introducing alternative energy in our country needs only necessary regulations and governmental support.
