The Priority Directions of Development of Energy Sector of Ukraine According to Economic-Ecological Principles

Abstract

The article is aimed at determining the priority directions of the rate of build-up of economy growth, ensuring the energy independence of our country, and improving the ecological situation through the development of biofuel industry. The main directions of current development of fuel-energy complex of the country, rate of build-up of production growth together with consumption of biofuel are considered. It is determined that the introduction of renewable energy sources in Ukraine is too slow in the rate, and their contribution to the energy balance of the country is rather low. It is substantiated, that one of the most perspective directions of formation of the energy independence is production of biofuel. Prospects for further research in this direction is that the following processes of efficient economic development of our country will largely depend on the solution of the problem of uninterrupted provision with cheap energy resources. At the same time one of the main directions of improvement of the national biofuel production is a balanced process of its transfer to the path of intensification and innovation-investment development, while providing optimization of sowing areas for the formation of raw materials base.
