PROSPECTS FOR DECARBONIZATION OF DISTRICT HEATING IN UKRAINE

The purpose of the work is to determine promising areas for decarbonization district heating in Ukraine, as well measures necessary their practical implementation. State development bioenergy world and EU presented, considerable contribution production renewable heat emphasized. In existing problems long-term planning at state regional levels supply sector need be addressed. Recommendations solving these have been developed. One them elaboration Heat Supply Strategy until 2035, built on principle Energy Action Plan its It recommended introduce term “efficient heating” legislation which corresponds Directive 2012/27/EU energy efficiency, declare increasing share such systems heating. role process Ukraine analyzed. shown that one ways can significantly improve situation wide involvement biomass solid biofuels this sector. For effective implementation task it launch an electronic trade system (biofuel exchange), competition systems, perform a set additional actions measures. This will allow not only stabilize with but also reduce tariff end users by 15-20%.
