CONCEPTUAL PROVISIONS OF THE STRATEGY FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITIES

Abstract

It is substantiated that the modern development of territorial communities of Ukraine requires research into the causes of socio-economic problems and the search for innovative ways to overcome them. With the beginning of active military operations on the territory of our state, the issue of energy supply of communities became especially relevant, which determined the relevance of the study. The expediency of using the SWOT analysis method to determine gaps in the development of communities has been proven, in particular, it has shown that the common problem of most communities is inefficient waste management and problems with the provision of energy resources, which can be overcome by joint measures – the organization of biofuel production and the use of other alternative sources energy A systematic approach was used to implement this idea – a Strategy for energy-efficient and ecologically safe development of communities was proposed. The principles of the development of the Strategy have been determined, including: the hierarchy of waste management, self-sufficiency, minimizing the impact of the implementation of the strategy on the environment, precautions, the observance of which guarantees the effectiveness of the proposed measures. An important place in the Strategy is the effective management of waste and its use for the production of biofuels – biogas, pellets and briquettes, which allows to obtain a positive environmental effect and to turn waste into a source of energy resources. It is also proposed to develop the production and use of alternative sources of energy, which are quite diverse: solar, wind, geothermal energy, biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, straw, briquettes, straw. The most promising directions for Ukrainian communities have been determined – solar, wind energy and bioenergy. It is substantiated that energy cooperation is a direction that will help implement bioenergy projects in communities. Measures have been identified that will contribute to the attraction of investments in the implementation of the Strategy, since the proposed strategic directions require significant funds, which the average community does not have.
