ABSTRACT
The article analyzes the potential and marketing support for the development of bioenergy in Ukraine, taking into account European and world experience. It is determined that Ukraine has a significant bioenergy potential, which, however, is not fully realized due to a number of barriers. It is proven that one of the key problems is the ambiguous awareness of business and the population about the production of biofuels. Among large and medium-sized businesses in the agricultural and woodworking sectors, awareness is relatively high, while among the population, it remains limited.
It has been determined that Ukraine has the potential of a raw material base for biofuels production, estimated at 22–25 mt of oil equivalent per year, of which the largest share is accounted for by agricultural residues. The main barriers to the development of biofuels production are identified, namely high initial investment, underdeveloped infrastructure, complex regulatory procedures, low awareness, and lack of qualified personnel.
It is substantiated that in the context of post-war reconstruction and European legislation, decentralization of electricity production using modern energy technologies is absolutely necessary. It has been determined that to improve the marketing support for bioenergy development in Ukraine, the following priority areas have been identified: first and foremost, conducting information and educational campaigns to raise awareness among the public and businesses regarding the benefits and opportunities of bioenergy; followed by the development and implementation of effective financial instruments, such as soft loans, grants, and subsidies for relevant projects; and finally, the improvement of the regulatory framework by simplifying licensing procedures and establishing stable rules for investors.

Analiza stanu, potencjału i wsparcia marketingowego rozwoju bioenergetyki w Ukrainie w kontekście doświadczeń europejskich i światowych

W artykule przeanalizowano potencjał oraz wsparcie marketingowe dla rozwoju bioenergetyki w Ukrainie, z uwzględnieniem doświadczeń europejskich i światowych. Stwierdzono, że Ukraina dysponuje znacznym potencjałem bioenergetycznym, który jednak nie jest w pełni wykorzystywany z powodu licznych przeszkód. Wykazano, że jednym z kluczowych problemów jest niejednoznaczna świadomość przedsiębiorców i społeczeństwa dotycząca produkcji biopaliw. Wśród dużych i średnich przedsiębiorstw z sektorów rolnego i drzewnego świadomość ta jest stosunkowo wysoka, natomiast wśród społeczeństwa pozostaje ograniczona.
Ustalono, że Ukraina dysponuje potencjałem surowcowym do produkcji biopaliw, szacowanym na 22–25 mln ton ekwiwalentu ropy naftowej rocznie, z czego największy udział mają odpady rolnicze. Zidentyfikowano główne bariery rozwoju produkcji biopaliw, a mianowicie wysokie nakłady inwestycyjne, słabo rozwiniętą infrastrukturę, skomplikowane procedury regulacyjne, niską świadomość oraz brak wykwalifikowanej kadry.
Ustalono, że w kontekście powojennej odbudowy oraz prawodawstwa europejskiego decentralizacja produkcji energii elektrycznej z wykorzystaniem nowoczesnych technologii energetycznych jest absolutnie konieczna. Ustalono, że w celu poprawy wsparcia marketingowego dla rozwoju bioenergetyki w Ukrainie określono następujące obszary priorytetowe: przede wszystkim prowadzenie kampanii informacyjnych i edukacyjnych mających na celu podniesienie świadomości społeczeństwa i przedsiębiorstw na temat korzyści i możliwości związanych z bioenergetyką; następnie opracowanie i wdrożenie skutecznych instrumentów finansowych, takich jak preferencyjne pożyczki, dotacje i subsydia na odpowiednie projekty; oraz wreszcie poprawa ram regulacyjnych poprzez uproszczenie procedur licencyjnych i ustanowienie stabilnych zasad dla inwestorów.
