ABSTRACT
The main goal of the research is to develop recommendations for innovations in the field of production efficiency, processing of agricultural raw materials for alternative energy, to analyze the technological indicators of individual resources involved in the biofuel production process, to study the effectiveness of alternative technological solutions for bioenergy energy projects, and possible ways of developing bioenergy in Ukraine in the post-war period. Significant depletion of agricultural land and, as a result, a significant decrease in the supply of humus and nutrients requires a review of the structure of the raw material base for bioenergy. It has been established that the level of energy consumption and energy income in the form of main and by-products depends on agricultural techniques for growing agricultural crops, their yield, the potential level of labor costs, fertilizers, energy carriers, and other production resources. The results of a study of the efficiency of using organic raw materials for biofuel production and the potential for using primary and secondary products of the agro-industrial complex in biogas production were obtained. The conducted studies showed that the optimal raw material for obtaining biogas is corn and other raw materials with minimal protein content and high carbohydrate content. The main result of the research is the establishment of parameters of the model of the dependence of energy production volumes on the energy value of the by-products of the processing of oilseeds, grain crops, fodder, and other resources involved in the process of biogas model the efficiency of biogas production.

Bioekonomia zasobów wykorzystywanych do produkcji biopaliw
biogaz, energia alternatywna, zasoby biologiczne, wydajność produkcji, modelowanie
Głównym celem badań jest opracowanie zaleceń dotyczących innowacji w zakresie wydajności produkcji, przetwarzania surowców rolniczych na alternatywne źródła energii, analiza wskaźników technologicznych poszczególnych zasobów wykorzystywanych w procesie produkcji biopaliw, badanie skuteczności alternatywnych rozwiązań technologicznych dla projektów związanych z bioenergią oraz możliwych sposobów rozwoju bioenergii w Ukrainie w okresie powojennym. Znaczne zubożenie gruntów rolnych, a w konsekwencji znaczny spadek podaży próchnicy i składników odżywczych, wymaga przeglądu struktury bazy surowcowej dla bioenergii. Ustalono, że poziom zużycia energii i dochodów energetycznych w postaci produktów głównych i ubocznych zależy od technik rolniczych stosowanych w uprawie roślin rolniczych, ich plonów, potencjalnego poziomu kosztów pracy, nawozów, nośników energii i innych zasobów produkcyjnych. Uzyskano wyniki badań dotyczących efektywności wykorzystania surowców ekologicznych do produkcji biopaliw oraz możliwości wykorzystania produktów pierwotnych i wtórnych kompleksu rolno-przemysłowego w produkcji biogazu. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że optymalnym surowcem do uzyskania biogazu jest kukurydza i inne surowce o minimalnej zawartości białka i wysokiej zawartości węglowodanów. Głównym wynikiem badań jest ustalenie parametrów modelu zależności wielkości produkcji energii od wartości energetycznej produktów ubocznych przetwarzania nasion oleistych, zbóż, pasz i innych zasobów wykorzystywanych w procesie produkcji biogazu modelowania wydajności produkcji biogazu.
