Abstract
Purpose of the paper is to analyze the available statistical data on fuel consumption by population in every region of Ukraine. To identify similarities and differences in development trends the comparison of structure of final energy consumption in Ukraine and the world was done. The degree of distribution of individual heating systems in urban settlements and rural areas in 2015 is determined. Analysis of the use of the main types of fuel by households sector in regions of Ukraine is performed. The amount of fuel consumed by the population does not linearly depend on the share of individual heating systems in the region (this was shown by an example), therefore to develop strategy for extending the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in the households more factors will need to be considered. Ukrainian and world energy balance data for 2015 (item “Other” which includes residential sector, commerce and public services, agriculture, fishing, other consumers) on the consumption of four main types of fuel (coal and peat, oil products, natural gas, biofuels and waste) were compared. It was concluded that in Ukraine the proportion of basic fuels consumption corresponds to world trends. However, after analyzing the distribution of total final energy consumption certain differences were observed. Analysis of renewable energy sources use by sectors has demonstrated that the residential sector is the leader in renewable energy sources consumption both in the world and in Ukraine. In Ukraine statistical data on biofuel consumption is mainly based on information about firewood and wood biomass consumption. This explains the higher percentage of biofuel consumption in forested areas. It should also be noted that in Ukraine 32% of the wood used by population was sold to households by enterprises and 68% was obtained from self-preparation. Over the past decade consumption of biomass fuel for household needs in Ukraine has doubled, and it is increasingly replacing coal fuel, thus exerting a positive impact on the environment.
Highlights
The data analysis of fuels utilization such as coal and peat, oil products, natural gas, biofuels and waste by the population, agriculture, commerce and public services sector is presented

Summary
Представлено аналіз даних щодо використання населенням, сільським господарством та сферою торгівлі й послуг таких видів палива як вугілля й торф, нафтопродукти, природний газ, біопалива та відходи. Метою роботи є аналіз наявних статистичних даних щодо споживання палива населенням по регіонам України; порівняння структури кінцевого енергоспоживання в Україні та світі для виявлення схожості та розбіжностей в тенденціях розвитку. Згідно статистичних даних [1] близько 37% домогосподарств в Україні опалюються від індивідуальних установок та печей. Узагальнення по Україні дає наступні показники: природний газ для побутових потреб використовують 87% населення, біопалива та відходи споживають для опалення 10% домогосподарств, 3% будинків опалюються за рахунок використання вугілля й торфу. 1 та 3, можна зробити висновок, що доля домогосподарств, які не приєднані до системи централізованого теплопостачання, не є домінуючим фактором при оцінці об’ємів споживання ними палива. Більш високий відсоток споживання біопалива в областях, що розташовані у лісистих зонах
