| Abstract |
The most powerful natural thermal water resources of the Caspian region are located in the Republic of Dagestan. Thermal waters are used here widely for heating and hot water supply. This region has, however, been depressed for the last period and development of geothermal program was practically stopped, and at present it is required the full modernization of obsolete technologies. Opened JSC թ…Geotermneftegasթ… is the onlyeconomical subject in Russia, having more than 10 licenses on the right of geothermal heat-carriers production. The other structures either have been disintegrated or use foreign credits. The company is also an owner of the licenses for geological exploration and production of hydrocarbons in the Caspian shelf, the forecasted resources of which are 340 million tons of oil and 540 billion m 3 of gas and gas-condensate. Production of such volume of raw materials will lead to losses of biological resources of the sea, where 90% of world sturgeon reserves of total cost about US$ 5 billion are concentrated. Taking all this into account, in the paper the main attention is paid to elaboration of preventive compensational measures, in particular, creation of energy-biological complexes (EBC) on geothermal waters for reproduction and restoration of the resources of sturgeons թ՞ representatives of relict ichthyofauna. The conception of integrated geothermal systems, realized when developing the described EBC, is directed to solution of the main for the Republic problems: creation of new work- places, keeping of Russian population in the territory of their constant residence, improvement of the quality of life and health of the population, protection of a unique nature of the region. This project will support economics of Dagestan, adding the stability to the policy of the reforms. Realization of the project will supply the population with high quality food (fish, fish-products, poultry and vegetables). Application of complex technologies will give the opportunity to use thermal water for electric power production and balneology. In the paper the brief description is given of the situation with power in the Republic of Daghestan.It is shown that development of systems of geothermal water supply and of energy-biological complex has prospects. The most interesting financial results and schematic solutions realized for elaboration of the business-plan of investment project թ-Creation of energy-biological complex on the basis of explored geothermal resources of the NorthernDagestanթ… are presented. |
