The issue of taxation of biomass burning boilers is relevant and will not lose its relevance in the future. As, according to estimates of the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine, almost 8 thousand of heat-generating units in Ukraine use biomass and, according to the current Tax Code of Ukraine, are taxed for CO2<\/sub> emissions.<\/p>\n

For reference: from January 1, 2019, the tax rate for carbon dioxide emissions from stationary sources has been raised from 0.41 UAH per ton to 10 UAH per ton, ie increased by 24.4 times. <\/p>\n
