“…Modelling results based on the TIMES-Ukraine energy system model [57] prove the need to develop and implement the national strategy to increase energy generation from biomass. The highly valuable contribution proposed by the referenced authors includes the analysis of the current policy environment in the context of future biomass development and concluded with a set of policy recommendations for utilization of the biomass potential in Ukraine.…”

The Potential of Ukrainian Agriculture’s Biomass to Generate Renewable Energy in the Context of Climate and Political Challenges—The Case of the Kyiv Region

Increasing the share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption is a way to ensure independence from external supplies of fossil fuels, which is a fundamental political and economic challenge for many countries nowadays. One such country is Ukraine, which depended on Russian gas supplies and energy (electricity) from nuclear power plants. Russian gas is not delivered anymore to Ukraine, and Russians have recently taken over some of the nuclear power plants. The changes in the political situation force Ukraine to search for alternative energy sources. In countries with high agricultural production potential, one of the basic options seems to be popularization of modern methods of obtaining energy from biomass (bioenergy), which so far has played a minor role in the country’s energy mix (less than 2% in the case of Ukraine). The analysis carried out on the case of the Kyiv Region indicates that the annual economic potential of biomass in the region is equivalent to 1743 thousand toe (tonnes of oil), and its use allows them to save about 43% of fossil fuel annually.

“…Significant amounts of accumulated solid household waste in Ukraine and the lack of effective measures to prevent their generation and recycling lead to the deterioration of the environment and the loss of significant economic benefits (Chepeliev et al, 2021;Panchenko et al, 2021). Therefore, the collection and utilization of biogas, which is formed in the anaerobic fermentation of biodegradable waste and its further conversion to electricity, can be considered a practical approach to solving the above two problems.…”

“…Insufficient use of the bioenergy resources potential, which, according to the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine, amounts to 23 Mtoe/year (Economic truth, 2020) (annually, leads to the loss of significant economic, environmental, and social benefits (Kurbatova and Sidortsov, 2022;Chepeliev et al, 2021;Trypolska et al, 2021;Trypolska et al, 2022). In addition, the disproportion in the development of renewable energy technologies in the power sector in favour of solar and wind generation, which is unstable and difficult to predict, led to significant technical problems with balancing the United Energy System of Ukraine.…”

The paper investigates trends in bioenergy development in Ukraine and its role in accelerating the green energy transition in the post-war period. The focus of the article is on the use of bioenergy resources for electricity generation, heat energy and liquid biofuel production. In this context, the potential of biomass, state support mechanisms, the results of their influence on bioenergy capacities deployment and the barriers restraining this sector development are considered. The study’s results proved that the inconsistency of the state policy and the failure to consider the specifics of energy production based on various bioenergy resources caused a significant lag in its development compared to other renewable energy technologies. With this in mind, the article systematizes strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and based on them, strategic recommendations for bioenergy development in Ukraine in the post-war period are developed.

“…Emission impacts from carbon flows into and from material stocks are typically not assessed in ESOMs (Hahn et al, 2020). Instead, the focus has been on using biomass for replacing fossil fuels, and as a source of BECCS, both in national ESOMs (Chepeliev et al, 2021;Forsell et al, 2013;Krook-Riekkola & Sandberg, 2018) and in integrated assessment models (Bauer, 2018;Butnar et al, 2020). Even studies that focus partly on biochemicals target mainly their potential to replace fossil fuels (Lap et al, 2019;Sandberg et al, 2019;Sandberg & Krook-Riekkola, 2022;Tsiropoulos et al, 2017Tsiropoulos et al, , 2018Younis et al, 2021).…”

Despite the time-dependent behavior of carbon stored in plastic materials, literature assessing carbon flows into and from plastic typically applies a static approach.To better understand the climate impacts of such storage, this study explores how carbon stored in plastics can contribute over time to the national climate inventory with various emphasis on recycling. This is accomplished by implementing material stock change estimations for carbon in plastic materials that follow firstorder decay and include impacts from recycling rates in the Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System model generator for Sweden (TIMES-Sweden). Thereafter, three approaches to how carbon released from the plastic material stock is accounted for in the national climate inventory were applied to determine how each approach affects resulting emission and net-zero pathways in different recycling rate scenarios. An accounting approach that follows the first-order decay pattern of material stocks was found to be important for capturing the impacts of recycling and for neither over-nor underestimating the emission impact from carbon stored in plastics. Accounting for carbon stored in plastics may provide important incentives for producing renewable plastics and reducing dependence on carbon removal technologies. Because of its synergies with recycling, the carbon storage potential of plastic products is well worth recognizing and promoting in a policy setting that aims for circularity. For Sweden, this reduces the need for bioenergy carbon capture and storage and makes more biomass-based carbon and electricity available for use elsewhere in the energy system.
