Economic and technological processes of regional production of liquid biofuels in Ukraine
The purpose of the article is to analyze the regional consumption of diesel fuel and petrol to determine the priority development of an appropriate production of biodiesel and bioethanol in the natural and economic regions of Ukraine. In the process of research, the following methods were used: dialectical, analytical generalizations, graphical, statistical grouping and comparison. For effective development of the energy sector a regional approach to consideration and division into different levels of consumption (low, medium, high and very high) of diesel fuel and petrol in Ukraine was used an element of scientific novelty. Based on the identified regional needs and specific consumption of this group of energy resources, it was set the priority for a construction of promising regional plants for biodiesel and bioethanol production in the context of Ukraine's natural and economic regions. Based on the results of the study, there’s justified conclusion on the priority of construction of regional biodiesel and bioethanol production plants and provision of their cluster production processes in accordance with the consumption of diesel fuel and petrol in the natural and economic regions of Ukraine.
