Renewable Energy Sources Based on Agricultural Production: Potential Applications Within the Silk Road Economic Belt Framework

Abstract

The article is devoted to the Ukrainian-Chinese cooperation in the context of the joint construction of the "Silk Road Economic Belt", in particular, the cost-effective production of renewable energy sources based on agricultural production on the territory of Ukraine with the involvement of investors from China is highlighted. It has been proved that it is advisable to create an agro-industrial park in the agricultural sector, whose activities can be aimed at research and development of new technologies for growing agricultural products and "green technologies" in the field of agriculture. Calculations indicate the possibility of substantiating the quantitative characteristics of biofuel production and the ecological state of the territories. It is shown that in order to identify the degree of influence of these economic and environmental factors on the efficiency of biofuel production enterprises, it is necessary to conduct a systematic assessment of them with the construction of a mechanism for the functioning of such an enterprise as part of an agricultural park, which reflects the relationship of factors of the efficiency of biofuel production. 
 Keywords: The economic belt of the Silk Road, Agricultural Park; Production of renewable energy sources, Production of biofuels, Efficiency of functioning of biofuel production enterprises.

Innovative Customs System and its Impact on the Sustainability of the Transit Potential

“…At the end of the 20th century, important political and economic events took place on a global scale: the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the recognition of the independence of the states included in it; the rapid economic rise of China, Japan, and other Asian countries; The strong interest in the international integration of the countries of Central Asia and the South Caucasus and other important circumstances put the idea of restoring the old Silk Road and the necessity of its revival on the agenda. Accordingly, based on the Brussels Declaration of 1993, the Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia -TRACECA -a large-scale project was created, the predecessor of which is considered the ancient Silk Road (Ji et al, 2023).…”

Analysis and Challenges of the Formative and Accumulative Process of Industrial Residues

“…Regression analysis were utilized in the Carrilho-Nunes and Catalao-Lopes (2022) research to evaluate environmental taxes, such as those on energy and transportation, as the most important economic tools in Latvia's environmental policy for lowering emissions connected to transportation. The authors' estimates suggest that it may be possible to validate the quantitative aspects of biofuel production and the ecological status of the regions (Ji, et al, 2023). The fuel consumption component had the most influence on greenhouse gas emissions, according to the non-linear multifactor regression.…”
