The article analyzes the share of energy from renewable sources in the gross final energy consumption of developed countries of the world and Ukraine. The energy problem in the world is aggravated year by year due to the constant depletion of energy sources, forcing intensive introduction of renewable energy sources, the leading place among which is plant biomass. It has been determined that in the structure of biofuels in Ukraine the largest share is given to waste and biofuel.
At the same time, the share of biofuels and waste in Ukraine has been increasing over the years in the structure of renewable energy consumption. The prospects of using crop production for alternative fuel production are investigated. In Ukraine, there are large areas of low-productive land where bioenergy crops can be grown, such as energy willow, miscanthus and others. Ecological and economic aspects of production of alternative fuels in Ukraine are described.
The proposals to increase the efficiency of production of alternative fuels from agricultural products are substantiated. The necessity and economic feasibility of production and use of biofuels has been proved. Compared to crops, bioenergy plantations require fewer fertilizers and herbicides and grow well on land that is unsuitable for agriculture [14]. Since there is no annual tillage, the energy balance of such bioenergy crops is improving compared to traditional crops. They have the potential that not only provide energy security through the use of biomass for renewable energy, but also to meet other ecosystem needs. The most popular in Ukraine is the energy willow. It should be noted that at first it is necessary to go through the stages of preparation, planting, energy section (so that the plant looks like a bush, not a tree, and in future it could be collected with special equipment). That is, you need to make a capital investment once and then make a profit for about 25 years. Manufacturers indicate that they have a steady demand for wood chips, which is already a ready-made resource for burning in boilers, or process it into fuel pellets or briquettes.
