Abstract

Today, ensuring energy security is becoming increasingly important. It has been proven that agricultural crops are currently the dominant feedstock for the production of biofuels and first-generation biofuels dominate both in Ukraine and around the world and can potentially pose a threat to food security. The research aims to analyze the state of food security in Ukraine in order to estimate the economic basis for the use of surplus food crops for biofuel production for substantiating the required areas for growing energy crops in the volumes that could ensure balance between the food and energy use of crops. An analysis of food security of Ukraine showed that the agricultural sector provides the population with most of the necessary food products, but it is advisable to modernize the food supply standards. It has been proven that crops that can be used for the production of first-generation biofuels in Ukraine are produced in sufficient quantities to ensure food security, and they are exported without compromising the food security of the state and export potential.
As calculated, Ukraine can use about 11–12 million hectares of arable land for growing energy crops with their subsequent processing into biofuels. It has been proven that in the future in Ukraine, it is recommended to develop the production of biofuels (biogas and solid biofuels) from crop and livestock waste, as well as organic waste from processing enterprises. This would not pose a threat to food security and would address a number of environmental issues related to waste disposal. Today, under the condition of war in Ukraine, food security and energy independence are priority issues and energy diversity, including the production and consumption of biofuels, is a top factor for further development.

Abstract

Study examines the potential for post-war reconstruction in Ukraine, emphasizing the role of contemporary “green” technologies and the involvement of Ukrainian political entities. With Ukraine’s partial integration into the European sphere, effective reconstruction post-military operations is seen as mutually beneficial for Ukraine and the EU. The study argues for a commitment from Ukrainian politicians to uphold high standards of professionalism and ethics. Methodologies include an analysis of existing publications on post-war reconstructions and a SWOT analysis focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of the current governance policy in Ukraine. Secondary information, such as survey results on public and business concerns about the ability of pro-government politicians to carry out “green” post-war reconstruction, is also considered. Findings suggest that the post-war reconstruction plan advocates for the integration of “green” technologies like renewable energy equipment production and biofuels. However, successful implementation requires addressing issues such as high corruption levels, potential misuse of funds, a lack of professionals, and political lobbying for traditional energy sectors. To address these problems, the study proposes criteria for evaluating the qualifications of candidates for positions in the Verkhovna Rada, aiming to establish an ideal standard for politicians with the necessary skills to guide Ukraine’s economy reconstruction. The achievement of eco-energy optimization is one of the most important tasks in the conditions of the post-war reconstruction of the economy. A model of “green” reconstruction of Ukraine is constructed based on systematic changes in government structures and reforms in climate and environmental policy.
