Project Environment and Outlook within the Scope of Technologically Integrated European Green Deal in EU and Ukraine

Abstract

Issues of environmental security, fuel and energy independence have been forming political and economic territories for several centuries. Current events in Ukraine have become a litmus test, which clearly highlights the dangers of resource monopolies and the transfer of economic benefits. The issue of ensuring the energy system in climate neutrality became relevant even before the aggression by Russia. However, today, there is no country, it has not recognized that there is the urgent need to develop and implement effective tools for economic development in a sustainable environment. The modern cost-oriented model of knowledge of economic processes has led not only to the irrational use of natural potential. Large-scale use of natural resources and the irrational organization of production (including agricultural) disrupt the process of their reproduction, which, in turn, leads to the depletion of bioresources and, as a consequence, can lead humanity to ecological catastrophe. Certain solutions have been proposed to address these issues. To ensure the efficient use of the resources of the agricultural sector and the reliable reflection of biological processes, it is proposed to recognize the biological form of capital as self-growing and self-reproducing value, which, in the process of biological transformation, allows obtaining an additional unit of benefits. The study examines, in detail, the promising areas of the transformation of the agricultural sector in the framework of a technologically integrated European Green Deal in the EU. In this study, to determine the potential opportunities for the ecological transformation of agriculture, discrete analytical models of the assessment of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine were used. Representative data use statistical indicators of Ukraine and, to illustrate potential opportunities, present a comparison of export data to EU countries. In addition, it reveals the realized and potential opportunities of Ukraine’s entry into the European market through the prism of the implementation programs of EU environmental policy. The place and significance of assimilation potential for a reduction in the anthropogenic impact on the environment, and providing the self-restoration of natural resources, are substantiated. It is determined that one of the most effective tools for low-cost reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions is the national-level implementation of environmental-quota trade and the development of organic production. The study includes an analytical assessment of the expected emission reductions from environmental initiatives’ implementation. Prospects for further research are the development of an effective mechanism for the systematic management of the biological potential reproduction of the agricultural sector while reducing anthropogenic impact on the environment.

The European Green Deal: Determination of the Energy Parameters of the String Husking Device in Buckwheat Processing

“…The strategy of Ukraine's integration into the industrial environment of Europe includes a solution to the issue of increasing energy efficiency in all branches of production. Given that food production is the largest consumer of electricity, reducing energy consumption in this industry is an important part of the Green Deal strategy to achieve sustainability [1,2].…”

The Impact of Purchasing New Agricultural Machinery on Fuel Consumption on Farms

“…Calculating the cost of crop energy is a critical factor in the general assessment of agricultural sustainability [40]. Fuel consumption of agricultural machinery and tractors is a financial burden on the farmer and a burden on the environment, so reducing fuel consumption is in the interest of society as a whole [41,42]. One of the ways to reduce fuel consumption and, thus, greenhouse gas emissions, can be Agriculture 4.0 techniques, especially precision agriculture [22,43,44].…”

European Green Deal: Satellite Monitoring in the Implementation of the Concept of Agricultural Development in an Urbanized Environment

“…This problem determines the number of scientific and applied problems. It is relevant for European countries [1][2][3][4][5]. As a result of the European Green Deal (EGD), the requirements for the quality of raw materials from which energy is obtained, the quality of products, and the ecology of large-and medium-sized cities are being strengthened in the European Union.…”

“…Article [5] already concerns the problems of Ukraine regarding the EGD. Issues of energy efficiency, prevention of environmental pollution, rational use and reproduction of resources are priorities for the sustainable development of Ukraine.…”
