The Study on Energy Independence (Autonomy) of an Agricultural Enterprise Assurance

Ukraine’s agriculture plays a leading role in ensuring the country’s food and energy security through its bioenergy potential. Although, having significant available biomass of agricultural production, the country’s agricultural sector demonstrates the slow development of enterprises and production of final products - biofuels. The use of the bioenergy potential of agriculture is seen as one of the components of the strategy of sustainable development. The practical value of the study is reflected in the fact that government bodies can use the results of the study to improve the activities of domestic agricultural enterprises and to develop biofuel production from agrobiomass waste. The study shows what aspects need to be improved, and draws the attention of the management of agricultural enterprises to review some of the features of the production and use of biofuels in order to ensure the level of their energy autonomy and enable them to achieve the goals of ensuring and increasing the efficiency of the main production. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential, awareness and current state of agricultural waste in small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises, using the most acceptable, appropriate and reliable way.
