ABSTRACT
The global biofuel industry is characterized by a wide range of legislative and regulatory measures for the development of bioenergy. In order to stimulate the production of biofuels, a set of measures has been developed, including legislative regulation, indicative planning of production volumes, preferential taxation and budget support. Ukraine is among the top ten largest consuming countries of energy resources. Weak and inconsistent state policy in the sphere of biofuels as well as inconsistent legislative provisions regulating activities in the field of production, circulation and use of biofuels, impede the effective development of the biofuel market in Ukraine. The purpose of this article is to determine the components of the system of state regulation of bioenergy and to identify effective mechanisms with regard to improving the legal regulation of the biofuel market in Ukraine. The management processes discussed in this article are provided by several methods, which particularly relate to the functioning of power structures and the end results or goals of the public administration system. Currently, there are significant inconsistencies in the formation and further functioning of the regulatory framework with the legislation of the European Union on the rational use of fuel and energy resources, the limitations of which increase due to inconsistencies between centralized and regional distribution. Therefore, further processes of effective economic development of Ukraine will largely depend on solving the problem of the sustainable provision of available renewable energy resources. Future development of the biofuels market in Ukraine will strongly depend on the institutional and legal conditions in the field of production, circulation and use of biofuels.

Regulacje prawne produkcji biopaliw w Ukrainie
ustawodawstwo, biopaliwa, bioenergia, instrumenty regulacyjne
Światowy przemysł biopaliw charakteryzuje się szeroką gamą środków legislacyjnych i regulacyjnych dotyczących rozwoju bioenergii. W celu pobudzenia produkcji biopaliw opracowano zestaw środków, w tym regulacje prawne, orientacyjne planowanie wielkości produkcji, preferencyjne opodatkowanie i wsparcie budżetowe. Ukraina znajduje się w pierwszej dziesiątce krajów o największym zużyciu surowców energetycznych. Słaba i niekonsekwentna polityka państwa w sferze biopaliw oraz niespójne przepisy prawne regulujące działania w zakresie produkcji, obrotu i wykorzystania biopaliw utrudniają efektywny rozwój rynku biopaliw w Ukrainie. Celem artykułu jest określenie elementów systemu państwowej regulacji bioenergii oraz wskazanie skutecznych mechanizmów w zakresie poprawy prawnej regulacji rynku biopaliw w Ukrainie. Omawiane w niniejszym artykule procesy zarządzania są przedstawione kilkoma metodami, które w szczególności odnoszą się do funkcjonowania struktur władzy oraz końcowych rezultatów lub celów systemu administracji publicznej. Obecnie występują znaczne niespójności w kształtowaniu i dalszym funkcjonowaniu ram regulacyjnych z prawodawstwem Unii Europejskiej w zakresie racjonalnego wykorzystania zasobów paliw i energii, których ograniczenia narastają ze względu na niespójność pomiędzy dystrybucją scentralizowaną a regionalną. Dlatego dalsze procesy efektywnego rozwoju gospodarczego Ukrainy będą w dużej mierze zależeć od rozwiązania problemu zrównoważonego zaopatrzenia w dostępne zasoby energii odnawialnej. Przyszły rozwój rynku biopaliw w Ukrainie będzie silnie zależał od uwarunkowań instytucjonalnych i prawnych w zakresie produkcji, obrotu i wykorzystania biopaliw.
