Agricultural sector plays important role in energy conservation
Mission of energy conservation is becoming more meaningful for the agroindustrial complex of Ukraine along with the food sector, deputy agrarian policy and food minister Oleksandr Sen said at the International Bioenergy Forum, ForUm correspondent reports.

The official said that the Agricultural Policy Ministry provides great opportunities and serious challenges facing the agricultural sector.

The expert noted that the developments are going in several directions, among which the bioethanol production should take an important place. "The bioethanol is the only way for stabilization of the sugar industry," Sen noted.

According to him, the world produced 900 million tons of bioethanol in 2012, and Ukraine can produce only about 250 thousand tons per one year.
