Abstract
Potential of Production of Energy Crops in Ukraine and their Processing on Solid Biofuels
Highlights
The rise in energy prices and the degradation of the ecological condition of the environment as a result of the growing consumption of fossil fuels are prompting humanity to use biomass for energy needs – biofuel production
Manure is a good substrate for biogas production, as it is mixed with other feedstock, such as corn silage, plant residues and others [Tokarchuk et al, 2020]
Among the main directions of decarbonization of the economy, including energy as its important component, the following are identified: the development of renewable energy sources (RES) in combination with an increase in energy efficiency; reducing the consumption of carbon-intensive energy resources to zero and maximizing the use of RES so that the agricultural and forestry sector can switch to full self-sufficiency in energy resources; increasing sustainable production of biomass, biofuels and other RES to support the implementation of the “green” transition in other sectors of the economy
Summary
The rise in energy prices and the degradation of the ecological condition of the environment as a result of the growing consumption of fossil fuels are prompting humanity to use biomass for energy needs – biofuel production. Among the main directions of decarbonization of the economy, including energy as its important component, the following are identified: the development of renewable energy sources (RES) in combination with an increase in energy efficiency; reducing the consumption of carbon-intensive energy resources to zero and maximizing the use of RES so that the agricultural and forestry sector can switch to full self-sufficiency in energy resources; increasing sustainable production of biomass, biofuels and other RES to support the implementation of the “green” transition in other sectors of the economy. In addition to the actual energy benefit, this will help to preserve the soil from water erosion, reduce the nutrient losses with surface washout and soil degradation These plants are characterized by low production costs and do not require significant use of fertilizers and pesticides. The goal of the study is the review of potential types of bioenergy raw materials and the efficiency of their cultivation and processing into solid biofuels
