Abstract

The article examines the state of development of energy cooperation in modern conditions. The analysis of research in the field of assessment of the attitude of the subjects of the agricultural sector to the possibility of creating cooperatives focused on the production of biofuel was carried out. The possibility of independent processing of waste from personal peasant households into biofuel was investigated. Agricultural waste, especially in rural areas, is available in fairly large volumes, but it is not suitable for burning in stoves and boilers in non-gasified settlements. The creation of cooperative formations for the processing of straw into pellets can become one of the ways to solve this problem. The model of interaction of agricultural enterprises focused on biofuel production is analyzed. Possible ways of developing the potential of energy cooperatives based on three groups of indicators were studied. The following commercial models that can be used by cooperatives can be defined: production of thermal energy from local renewable resources; cultivation and processing of energy crops (willow, miscanthus and others); use of heat pumps for heat supply; construction of solar water heaters; insulation of buildings; execution of works under the ESCO contract for the budget. It was determined that the marketing model of interaction of agricultural enterprises focused on the production of biofuel should include interaction on the basis of public-private partnership of research institutions and relevant enterprises focused on the production of biofuel. The prospects for the development of the domestic market are determined, first of all, with the construction of low-rise housing, especially cottage villages. As people's incomes increase, the number of middle-income people buying suburban housing increases, and thanks to the efforts of pellet and pellet equipment manufacturers, public awareness of the benefits of heating homes using stones and pellet boilers is increasing. A model of interaction of energy cooperatives with intermediary formations has been developed. The corresponding model should ensure mutually beneficial activity of energy cooperatives with suppliers of equipment for biofuel production and supply of raw materials from agricultural formations (straw, husks, horticultural waste, etc.). The positive economic and social effect of the practical use of the corresponding model was determined.
