FORMATION OF THE CATEGORY APPARATUS OF NATIONAL LEGISLATION IN THE FIELD OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

Europe is transforming its energy balance and increasing the use of local renewable energy sources. Russia's economy depends on the export of fossil (non-renewable) energy resources. About half of the country's energy resources are exported, primarily to European countries. A change in the fuel and energy balance of European countries, as the main consumer of Russian energy resources, will affect the Russian economy. Therefore, Russia urgently needs to know the state of alternative energy in Europe. The purpose of this article is to assess the growth rate of the share of innovative alternative energy sources in the energy balance of Germany and Denmark, as leading countries. The background for the implementation of energy policy in the field of alternative energy is different. First of all, these are countries with developed economies. They need a reliable, uninterrupted supply of energy sources. The Danish government was the first among European countries to evaluate the potential of alternative energy and began to develop it. Denmark is the first country in Europe to use wind energy to generate electricity. In 1991, the first offshore wind energy plant in Europe appeared in Denmark. Germany started the construction of wind power parks only in 2008. Nevertheless, today Germany, along with China and the United States, is among the top three world leaders in terms of wind power capacity, and also has become one of the world leaders in terms of the total installed capacity of solar panels. In absolute terms, characterizing the development of alternative energy, Germany is the world leader, in relative terms - Denmark. Germanys economy is many times larger than Denmarks. Therefore, Germany cannot rebuild the fuel structure of its economy as fast as Denmark. The Danish leadership has set ambitious goals for the development of alternative energy. In 2050, 100% of the energy supplied to end consumers will be generated from renewable sources. Germany cannot rebuild its economy with this fast pace. In Germany in 2050, the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption will be 60%. Germany, unlike Denmark, initially relied not on the development of alternative energy, but on the development of nuclear energy. However, through consistent energy policies, it has become a world leader in alternative energy use. When Germany began to implement energy policy, it already had a prototype - Denmark. But then, as the study showed, the country chose its own path. And then Germany and Denmark developed alternative energy in different ways. Nowadays the international cooperation has a great importance. Germany and Denmark collaborate in regional and transregional projects in terms of renewable energy sources. North Sea Wind Power Hub is a successful example of their work together. The experience of Germany and Denmark has shown that alternative energy development programs do not exist by themselves. The alternative energy development program is only part of several other related programs. Among them are programs on the rejection of the use of nuclear energy (in relation to Germany), measures to increase the energy efficiency of economies, construction of infrastructure, changes in the organizational structure of energy, etc. Nowadays, many countries in the world pursue an energy policy in the field of renewable energy. In 2009, Russia also committed to increase the share of alternative energy sources to 4.5% by 2020. In the implementation of this policy, it is necessary to take into account the experience of Western countries. The difficulties faced by countries in the new energy sector do not allow us to talk about a decrease in their dependence on energy imports.

Environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources make us think about how we can get electricity and heat from renewable sources. This article discusses the theoretical foundations and characteristics of RES, analyzes foreign experience and Russian achievements in the organization and development of RES. The analysis showed that on a global scale, the key to energy policy is the transition from environmentally friendly fuels to clean renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources account for more than a quarter (26%) of global electricity production. Over the past 20 years, the world’s electricity production based on renewable energy has increased more than 10 times, solar and wind energy are developing. Thanks to comprehensive policy measures, investments in research and development in the field of alternative energy in Europe, the USA, etc., renewable energy technology has become widespread. Thanks to technological advances in this area, these countries are currently facing a reduction in the cost of electricity generated using renewable energy sources. Despite the world experience, the obvious advantages of renewable energy sources (inexhaustibility of energy resources, environmental friendliness, lack of a fuel component in the cost of energy produced) and their huge potential in Russia, the development of unconventional energy has not been adequately developed. The share of RES in electricity production in the country is 0.2%

The article deals with application potential of clean alternative renewable energy sources. By means of system analysis the forecast for consumption of electrical energy in Tomsk Oblast as well as main energy sources of existing energy system have been studied up to 2018. Engineering potential of renewable and alternative energy sources is evaluated. Besides, ranking in the order of their efficiency descending is performed. It is concluded that Tomsk Oblast has high potential of alternative and renewable energy sources, among which the most promising development perspective is implementation of gasification stations to save fuel consumed by diesel power stations as well as building wind-power plants.

Global economic crises, oil and gas wars, and the constant struggle for natural resources are forcing humanity to look at the world through the prism of mercantile interests, causing damage to nature. As a result, this leads to climate change, global warming and massive environmental pollution.Analyzing these trends, part of society is increasingly focusing on alternative energy sources. The purpose of the article is to analyze current trends in the use of alternative energy sources in EU countries and to determine the possibilities of their application in Ukraine. The research methods used in the work are the following: analysis, abstract and logical, generalization, comparison, economic and statistical, and graphical. It has been established that the most common alternative energy sources include solar, wind, water, biofuels, and others. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. At present, themechanism for encouraging the use of alternative energy sources in the European Union is the "green" tariff, premium "green" tariff, tenders, auctions, grants, soft loans, and tax and customs benefits. The analysis of renewable energy production trends in the EU showed that hydropower prevailed until 2012.In Ukraine, the share of primary energy from renewable sources is much lower than in the EU. The main areas of cooperation between the EU and Ukraine in the field of alternative energy have been identified.Wind and solar energy and biomass can become a full-fledged object of export from Ukraine to the European Union. It is established that in order to stimulate the production of clean energy in Ukraine, it is advisable to introduce loans with low-interest rates and grace periods, quota obligations andencourage the creation of energy cooperatives. The tax levers’ influence on carbon dioxide emissions reduction and the implementation of renewable energy sources usage have been determined.

The article aims to study current trends in the use of solar energy in Ukraine and the world as one of the main directions of decarbonization of the national economy. The authors systematize the prospects, advantages and disadvantages of the development of renewable energy sources. They conducted a comparative analysis of the "efficiency" of solar energy in some countries and Ukraine. The authors determined that the leading position in terms of the share of energy consumed from renewable sources is occupied by countries with developed economies due to the availability of effective motivational mechanisms. From the experience of EU countries, the authors concluded that renewable energy sources form a prerequisite for obtaining additional socio-economic and environmental effects. In the presence of favorable market conditions, renewable energy sources can increase the level of energy security in the country and its energy independence. The article analyzes the legislation of Ukraine on stimulating the development of alternative energy. The authors proposed two opposed ways of further developing solar energy in Ukraine. In particular, the country can implement methods of using alternative energy, which developed countries have successfully implemented. Another area involves increasing research and innovation in implementing, using, maintaining, and utilizing energy-generating devices from alternative energy sources. Despite the polarity of the proposed directions for further development of renewable energy, in both cases, the state policy on attracting investment and promoting the use of energy from alternative energy sources is crucial. In addition, the authors noted the benefits for society from the development and implementation of alternative energy sources. The scaling up and promotion of energy production technologies from alternative sources can reduce carbon emissions, which has been an urgent problem globally.

Alternative energy is considered as a search for new energy sources, in particular, non-traditional, providing independence from fuel energy. The reduction of Ukraine’s energy dependence on traditional fuel resources is only possible through the development and use of its own alternative energy, which uses local resources as bioenergy as a fuel or does not require a fuel component at all (solar, wind and small hydropower).It is shown that the EU is one of the leaders in the implementation of alternative energy and renewable energy sources and initiates the creation of many organizations that finance projects related to the use of alternative energy. Among them there isInternational Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).The aim of the publication is to show the importance of using alternative energy in Ukraine and in theEU, administrative methods and economic mechanisms for regulating natural resources, as well as the stages of cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union.Thus, one of the most important challenges facing the countries today is the search for such energy sources that will reduce the use of traditional energy sources and the dependence of these countries on imports. Currently, the question of energy independence for Ukraine is quite relevant. The country’s potential makes it possible to efficiently use renewable energy sources, primarily solar and wind power, as well as to extract biogas to provide energy. The current Energy Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2035 is in general in line with the Ukraine’s accumulative obligations towards the EU on renewable energy sources and aims to increase the share of renewable energy sources to 25% in general by 2035.

In article assessment of tendencies and prospects of cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union in the field of renewable energy sources was carried out. Over the past decades, the theme of climate change, especially caused by human activity, has become one of the most acute and most exploited in scientific disputes. Today, the problem of finding new sources of energy is more than acute, with a special place occupy non-traditional ones. The reduction of Ukraine's energy dependence on traditional fuel resources is possible only through the development and use own alternative energy, which uses local resources – bioenergy as a fuel or does not require a fuel component at all – solar, wind and small hydropower. The European Union is one of the leaders in the implementation of alternative energy and renewable energy sources and initiates the creation of many organizations that finance alternative energy projects. Ukraine should ensure the effective convergence of its own legislation with the European Union, since it defined the European integration vector as a priority area of foreign policy development. At the same time, within the framework of the Union, the mechanism of environmental protection and progressive approaches to the implementation of energy policy, including in the field of renewable energy, can serve as the most constructive benchmarks for Ukraine's development in this area. Ukraine signed the Paris Agreement, and undertook certain commitments, namely: in accordance with the National Action Plan on alternative energy up to 2020, the objective was to reach 11% of RES in gross final energy consumption. Achieving this goal is possible only in the case of international cooperation with the EU in the field of alternative energy. However, today, the study of the prospects of cooperation between Ukraine and the EU in this field is not developing sufficiently and there is a certain vacuum in solving strategic problems in this context, which determines the relevance of the topic.

Clean and low-carbon energy sources and technologies have emerged as a critical driver in delivering the energy transition and achieving net zero-carbon emissions. All energy sources and power systems produce greenhouse gases (GHGs) and hence they contribute to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and resultant climate change besides contributing to other negative environmental impacts. Energy sustainability remains a major challenge globally due to current heavy reliance on depletable and polluting fossil fuels for most of global energy needs. This study examines the energy transition strategies and proposes a roadmap for sustainable energy transition for sustainable energy planning and grid electricity generation and supply in wake of commitments made by the world community to the Paris Agreement aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting the rise in global average temperature to 2oC and preferably 1.5oC above the preindustrial level and realisation of the sustainable development goal of the United Nations. The sustainable transition strategies typically consist of three major technological changes namely, energy savings on the demand side, generation efficiency at production level and fossil fuel substitution by various renewable energy sources and low carbon non-renewable sources like nuclear power and carbon emission reduction strategies like carbon capture and sequestration and a conversion from high carbon fossil fuels like coal and oil to natural gas which remains the cleanest fossil fuel. The study demonstrated that decentralised generation with application of both demand side management and behind the meter management (BTM) strategies are effective measures to increase the use of renewable energy resources which are often locally available leading to higher uptake of renewable energy sources and conversion of consumers to prosumers making the transition economically sustainable. Waste to energy options have a significant potential to contribute to the energy transition e.g. use of biowaste for biogas production, slaughterhouse waste biodigestion for biogas and electricity generation and waste treatment and disposal, waste heat recovery from used geothermal for extra power generation and reinjection to improve the reservoir sustainability and use of bagasse and sugarcane trash for grid-based power production in sugar factories. Therefore, domestic, and industrial scale waste to energy conversion can enhance the economic sustainability of waste management process by offering useful energy substitutes for fossil fuels and enhanced energy security through decentralisation of generation. Whereas sustainable development has social, economic, and environmental pillars, energy sustainability is best analysed by five-dimensional approach consisting of environmental, economic, social, technical, and institutional/political sustainability to determine energy resource sustainability. The study recommends the adoption of sustainability-based planning for energy development and optimisation of electricity generation and supply where energy sources are analysed and ranked based on the five dimensions of energy sustainability instead of Least Cost Development Planning (LCDP) often applied by many countries. On this basis, the sustainable energy transition and optimisation of power generation will rely on both renewable and non-renewable energy since both have an important role in the realisation of the energy transition plans even though the desire is to shift entirely to renewable energy sources by the year 2050. The sustainability of various energy sources was assessed with hydrogen, wind, solar, sugarcane bagasse and cane trash, biogas and ocean energy technologies proving to be among the most sustainable renewable energy and sustainable sources. The study also examined various power plants and energy conversion systems for electricity generation in terms of their specific role and potential in grid-based power generation with hydro power plants, geothermal, nuclear, fuel cells, raking high on performance indicators like load and capacity factors making them ideal for base load power supply. Diesel engines and gas turbines using cogeneration and dual cycle systems powered by cleaner fuels like natural gas, hydrogen and biomethane will play an important role in supplying intermediate and peak load power. The study highlighted enabling technologies and concepts in the energy transition which include decentralisation of generation, cogeneration and trigeneration, demand side and behind the meter management microgrids and smart grid technologies, energy and generation planning and optimisation models, energy storage, electrification of transport and use of electric cars as decentralised electricity sources through the V2X technologies like the G2V and V2G, and carbon capture and sequestration for emissions reduction in fossil fuel power plants making them more sustainable. The study classifies electric vehicles as distributed power plants and variable loads with extensive use of energy storage while sugar cane bagasse is noted as a sustainable energy resource for power generation by cane sugar factories by application of more efficient grid connected cogeneration power plants. The study identified long project gestation period as the main factor limiting nuclear and geothermal energy deployment and recommends the adoption of modularised wellhead generators and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) as a solution to enhance exploitation of these sustainable energy and technologies through faster deployment with high degree of flexibility. Biogas and biomethane demonstrated significant potential as renewable energy sources for power generation and substitute fuels in all applications of fossil natural gas. The study recommends sustainability-based planning for the energy sector and power generation and use of both renewable and non-renewable but sustainable sources of energy, adoption of smart energy concept by all sectors and investment in energy technology and infrastructure development for hydrogen and other promising energy sources like ocean thermal, wave and tidal energy and the conversion of the transition from the traditional to smart grid systems and a shift from centralised to decentralised power generation. Since the transport sector accounts for a significant portion of the global greenhouse gas emissions, electrification of the transport sector and coupling with the power sector is a key strategy recommended for the transition with the smart grid and microgrids playing an enabling role. Since energy sources and generation technologies have associated emissions occurring at different sections of the lifecycle, the use of lifecycle costs and emissions are helpful in long term energy and generation planning which demonstrate that renewable sources and nuclear are the most sustainable when analysed within the five dimensions of energy sustainability, but with the non-renewable sources playing a critical role as dispatchable sources for sustainable grid power generation, while the smart grids and use of energy storage can increase the uptake of variable renewables to as high as 95% to 100% up from a low of 20-25% uptake of variable renewables with the traditional grid. This will significantly help the world in achieving the global emissions and climate targets as. stipulated in the Paris Agreement as well as the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Graphical Abstract The overall objective of the study was to provide solutions to build global energy systems based on renewable and sustainable energy resources and optimise power generation and consumption by use of sustainable energy resources and generation technologies based on the five dimensions of energy sustainability. A sustainable energy system should intergrade electricity and other sectors through smart electricity grids, smart gas grids and smart heat grids as demonstrated below.

One way to save fuel is to use renewable energy, including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass. The use of renewable and alternative energy sources is contributing to environmental protection and nature conservation as a whole and provides a perspective of sustainable development. The aim of this paper is to compare the possibility of increasing the use of alternative and renewable energy sources in Slovakia with neighboring countries. It determines and also identifies the level of the Slovak Republic in the use of renewable energy sources because it is expected to increase by 2020 in each country. This paper is also devoted to the theoretical base of renewable and alternative forms of energy. One part of the paper deals with an analysis and comparison of the state of the use of renewable energy sources in Slovakia and in selected EU countries. Latest part deals with the overall national objectives set by the European Union for the proportion of energy from RES, which will be achieved by 2020. The paper is a partial result of the research project on RES realized at Technical University of Košice (Slovakia).

Summary. Today, the search for new energy sources is more than acute. Reducing Ukraine’s energy dependence on traditional fuel resources is possible only through the development and use of its own alternative energy, which uses local resources as fuel (bioenergy), or does not need a fuel component (solar, wind and small hydropower). The European Union is one of the leaders in the implementation of alternative energy and renewable energy sources and has initiated the creation of many organizations that finance projects related to the use of alternative energy. European energy legislation declares a 20% level of renewable energy in the overall energy balance of the European Union until 2022. By signing the Paris Agreement, Ukraine has made certain commitments, namely: according to the Energy Strategy of Ukraine until 2035, «Security, Energy Efficiency, Competitiveness» is considered to be the goal of achieving 25% of renewable energy sources in gross final energy consumption. This goal can be achieved only in the case of international cooperation with the EU in the field of alternative energy. The purpose of the study is to study and specify the features of economic support for the development of alternative energy in Ukraine. The article uses structural, logical and comparative analysis as research methods. The article examines important theoretical and practical aspects of the development of alternative energy in Ukraine. In particular, the main elements of economic support for the development of alternative energy are identified, the financial resources that are necessary for the implementation of innovation policy of the state are characterized. As a result of the study, it is proposed to adhere to the principles on which the national policy should be based on stimulating the development of alternative energy: elimination of non-economic barriers, such as administrative barriers, lack of access to energy systems, imperfect structure of the electricity market, lack of awareness and training, as well as solving problems with the introduction of renewable energy technologies in society; the need to create an easily predictable and transparent support system to attract investment; implementation of transitional incentives, which are planned to reduce the level of support over time, which will stimulate innovation in technology, control them and help to achieve market competitiveness as soon as possible; development and implementation of appropriate incentive programs that guarantee a certain level of support for different technologies, depending on the degree of their development, which helps to realize significant potential over time; assessment of the impact of large-scale implementation of renewable energy technologies on the energy system as a whole, especially in liberal electricity markets, which would take into account the overall economic efficiency and reliability of the system.

Biomass Torrefaction: Improving the Fuel Properties of Biomass Ethan Wyble and Philip Aucoin Global energy demand has been rising and will continue to rise at a rapid pace. According to the International Energy Agency (EIA), by 2035 global energy demand will increase by 53%. The EIA also mentions that Renewable Energy is projected to be the fastest growing source of energy over the next 25 years. Although fossil fuels will dominate the energy market, there is an urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy, which offers several benefits such as energy independence and cleaner energy. Renewable energy sources include wind, solar, biomass, hydro, and geothermal. Advantages of alternative energies are that they are renewable, better for the environment, and energy independent. To encourage the use of alternative energy sources in the United States, many States have introduced policies such as renewable portfolio standards that require an increased production of energy from alternative renewable energy sources. Biomass is a promising alternative energy source that can potentially replace coal in power plants, but several properties of biomass such as high moisture content, low heating value, fibrous nature, biomass handling and storage make it difficult to be used. This is where torrefaction comes into picture as a substitute for coal. Torrefaction is an important step in using biomass as fuel source. The actual process of torrefaction involves heating biomass to temperatures of 230-300oC in the absence of an oxidizing agent and under atmospheric pressure. The advantages of torrefaction are in the product. The product is a dried biomass that has a higher mass energy density, is hydrophobic, and is more uniform, in composition, compared to unprocessed biomass. Also, the grindability (ie, resistance to crushing) characteristics of torrefied biomass greatly improve and are comparable with coal and coke. Tests have been conducted on lab scale to evaluate the effect of torrefaction on several biomass feedstock properties including pine, willow, arundo, and bamboo. The effect of torrefaction on heating value, grindability, and hydrophobicity of biomass have will be discussed.

The article is devoted to assessing the prospects of alternative and renewable energy sources – wind power and solar power mining enterprises of Russia. The relevance of this assessment is that a new, untapped mineral deposits often located in remote and inaccessible areas and, during development, of the difficulty of supplying electric energy. The article presents the analysis of the limiting factors in the use of alternative and renewable energy sources in different regions of Russia – natural conditions, the volume of capital investments, the cost of electricity. An important advantage of self-generating energy installations that use alternative and renewable sources of energy is the savings in operating costs associated with a lack of purchase power, independence from the electricity supply, the state of electrical networks, ecological clean production of electricity. The article evaluated the feasibility of using wind energy and solar power projected Mining on one of the fields of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The necessity of comparison of traditional and alternative methods of power supply was due to the high cost of electric power and a large enough cost of construction power line of necessary length and of stepdown substation. For assess the feasibility of constructing installations using wind and solar energy within the framework of this article, an analysis is given of the change in the final indicators of economic efficiency in the framework of the investment project for the construction of the entire projected mine. In the article the calculation of the parameters, settings, using alternative and renewable sources of energy, which could fully meet the needs of all departments of the GOK’s electricity.

Energy is essential to meet the basic needs of life, to increase amenities and modernization. The main sources of energy that are met our energy demands are mineral oil, coal, natural gas and firewood. These conventional energy sources are being depleted day by day. So renewable, alternative and effective energy sources should be explored for our country as well as whole world. The production of biogas serves as an alternative energy source. The main objective of our research work was enhancement of biogas production by cellulytic bacteria from bagasse using methanogens. Five liters capacity glass reactors were used. Five sets of batch modes anaerobic digesters were used under laboratory condition. Bagasse was used as feed materials. Bagasse is the by-product of sugar mill and it was used as raw materials for paper production in our paper mills. Now it is discarded and creates a problem of sugar mills to use and manage bagasse. The raw materials were diluted with supply water in the ratio of 1 to 9 for bagasse. The characteristics of the influent slurry in term of Total Solid (T.S)%, Volatile Solid (V.S)%, P H and temperature ranges were determined every 7 days intervals for bagasse. The percentage of methane of biogas obtained from bagasse was 80%. The S 1 strain (Monococcus sp.) and S3 strain (Streptococcus sp.) of cellulytic bacteria produced 3.45×10 -3 (m 3 /day/kg feedstock) biogas and 3.85×10 -3 (m 3 /day/kg feedstock) biogas at 22 th day respectively whereas control produced 2.85×10 -3 (m 3 /day/kg feedstock) biogas at 34 th day by using bagasse as feedstock. The results clearly demonstrated that the rate of biogas production was increased by S 1 strain and S 3 strain of cellulytic bacteria. The cumulative biogas production was found 54.20×10 -3 m 3 , 66.21×10 -3 m 3 and 61.59×10 -3 m 3 for control, S 1 strain and S3 strain of cellulytic bacteria, respectively. In conclusion, results obtained from the present research work can be used to design biogas reactor in the field conditions to operate batch and semi-continuous mode for disposal management of sugar mills and thereby contribute a lot of in our fuel and fertilizer sectors.
