Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
Место:Kyiv, Ukraine
Описание:Conferences held in 2002-2009 generated great interest in Ukraine and abroad. About 200 participants including 50 attendees from Europe and the USA took part in each forum.
During 2005-2010 price of natural gas in Ukraine has been rising drastically (from 61 to 305 $/1000 m3). As a result, some sectors of the national economy appeared on the verge of viability. Such situation clearly demonstrates urgent necessity of using alternative and renewable energy sources.
Among the renewable energy sources, biomass can play the leading part in replacement of natural gas and other fossil fuels. Ukraine has quite a big potential of biomass available for energy production (19-23 mtoe/yr). Utilization of the biomass potential for energy purposes can cover about 14% of the Ukraine's energy demand.
At present Ukraine’s state policy regarding the bioenergy sector development is expressed in two laws which were adopted in 2009: regarding the "green" tariff and the biofuels. Specifically, the minimal fixed “green” tariff for biomass power plants is 12.4 € cents/kWh, and this value is one of the highest in Europe.
We are sure that the 6th Conference will facilitate practical realization of biomass-to-energy technologies in Ukraine and promote a fruitful cooperation between Ukrainian and foreign scientists, experts and businessmen in this field.
