The aim of the research is to study the prospects of crop growing for bio-fuel production at the lands reclaimed by industry wastes. Recently, the ecological characteristics of raw materials and production base are of priority importance for society. In this regard, large-scale recycling has become paramount. One of the possible methods for chemical waste disposal is to use them as raw material or auxiliary elements for others industries. For example, over a long time the utilization of phosphogypsum is practiced for land reclamation as an amendment in agriculture with a positive trend of soil fertility improving. However, such utilization always has risk of adding negative elements into a soil. The adjustment of soil ecological characteristics after phosphogypsum reclamation is possible by growing natural bio-utilizing plants, for example, corn and topinambour. In prospect, the obtained yield can be used as a raw material for bio-fuel production, which, currently, has a high consumer demand for the world community. The use of above mentioned crops in such a way is dictated by their high yield, high enough final output and less strict (compared to foodstuffs) quality requirements of raw materials for bio-energy production.
