Bioenergy development strategies are the focal subject of
the international conference Energy From Biomass, opened in Kyiv on September
19, Cabinet's press office reported.
The participants were quite outspoken in stating their
disagreement with the Energy Strategy of Ukraine, which was endorsed in March
2006 and which envisaged the nuclear power industry's accelerated development.
According to Academician Anatoliy Dolinskiy, director of the
NSA's Institute of Technical Thermophysics, energy, derived from renewable
bioresources, is twice cheaper than natural gas.
Besides, he argued, Ukraine's heavier reliance on these
resources will allow lessening Ukraine's energy dependence, developing local
economies, exporting biomaterials to EU nations.
As Heorhiy Heletukha, superintendent of the Institute's
division, noted, Ukraine uses only around one million tons of biofuels, which
is a meager 0.5 percent of Ukraine's aggregate use of fuels.
The conference has drawn researchers from fifteen nations,
including the USA, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Japan, Brazil, Latvia, Slovakia,
Belarus.
