By using marginal land to grow energy crops for energy purposes, it is potentially possible to replace about 20 billion m3 of gas per year. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n Georgii Geletukha<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Chairman of the Board of UABIO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Ukraine is in difficult negotiations with the IMF for every billion, but at the same time, we pay $ 17 billion for imported energy. Therefore, the replacement of natural gas with local renewable energy sources is an urgent and very important task. Energy plantations create a guaranteed and predictable source of biofuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore soil fertility, and develop the local economy. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oleksandra Tryboi<\/strong> \u2013 Senior Consultant of SEC “Biomass”: <\/p>\n\n\n\n “The BIOPLAT-EU platform, created under the project, is designed to help a potential investor who plans to implement a bioenergy chain based on energy crops grown on underutilized lands to assess the environmental, social, technical, and economic sustainability indicators for such a project.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Iryna Gnap<\/strong> \u2013 Director of Agri-Energy\u00a0Company “Salix Energy”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Salix Energy has been on the market for 10 years and has a full fleet of its own specialized equipment, as well as a large selection of breeding varieties. We are ready to provide planting material and advise on building a business in the field of growing energy crops. Also, we provide services for harvesting energy crops. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mykhailo Humentyk<\/strong> \u2013 Head of the Laboratory of the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet of NAAS of Ukraine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We can create bioenergy crops production line, supplementing wood crops with cereals. In particular, the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet has its own selection of varieties of miscanthus and rod millet, willow, which can be provided as planting material for energy plantations. The Institute has also prepared a number of monographs with recommendations for growing energy crops. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presentation “Growing energy crops in Ukraine. Experience of the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet of NAAS of Ukraine”.

“The potential of bioenergy in Ukraine is underutilized, although the benefits of this sector are undeniable, including the replacement of natural gas, the creation of new jobs and the improvement of soils.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Znimok-ekrana-2020-09-09-o-10.14.29.png\")
