Abstract: An important issue in the sustainable development of agricultural engineering today is the use of biogas plants for the production of electricity and heat from the organic waste of agricultural products and other low-quality products, which also contributes to the improvement of environmental safety. Traditional methods for assessing the apparent severity of the Roslynnytsia campaign based on statistics from the dominions proved to be ineffective. A hypothesis was proposed regarding the possibility of estimating the apparent biomass by averaging the indicators of depletion and assessing the CH 4 and CO emissions based on satellite monitoring data. The aim of this work is to create a methodology for preparing a raw material base in united territorial communities to provide them with electrical and thermal energy using biogas plants. The achievement of this goal was based on solving the following tasks: monitoring biomethane emissions in the atmosphere as a result of rotting organic waste, and monitoring carbon monoxide emissions as a result of burning agricultural waste. Experimental studies were conducted using earth satellites on sites with geometric centers in the village of Gaishin in the Pereyaslav united territorial community, the city of Ovruch in the Zhytomyr region, the Oleshkovsky Sands National Park in the Kherson region (Ukraine), and the city of Jüterbog, which is located in the state of Brandenburg and is part of the Teltow-Fläming district (Germany). The most significant results of this research involve the methodology for the preparation of the raw material base in the united territorial communities for the production of biogas, based on indirect measurements of methane and carbon dioxide emissions using the process of remote sensing. Based on the use of the proposed scientific and methodological apparatus, it was found that the location of the territory with the center in the village of Gaishin has better prospects for collecting plant raw materials for biogas production than the location of the territorial district with the center in the city of Ovruch, the emissions in which are significantly lower. From March 2020–August 2023, a higher CO concentration was recorded on average by 0.0009 mol/m 2 , which is explained precisely by crop growing practices. In addition, as a result of the conducted studies, for the considered emissions of methane and carbon monoxide for monitoring promising raw materials, carbon monoxide has the best prospects, since methane emissions can also be caused by anthropogenic factors. Thus, in the desert (Oleshkivskie Pisky), large methane emissions were recorded throughout the year which could not be explained by crop growing practices or the livestock industry.
