In article it is reported about a government proposal concerning introduction of 100 percent "tax holidays" on different types of activity in the sphere alternative and renewables for a period of 10 years.
Reorganization 2002
The government suggests to enter 100 percent "tax holidays" on different types of activity in the sphere alternative and renewables for a period of 10 years.
Today the government puts a problem to develop and introduce a number of incentives and preferences for development of this sphere. It will improve investment climate and will allow to reduce considerably consumption of natural gas, having replaced it with alternative types of fuel.
In the near-term ten years’ outlook it is planned to finish level of use of fuel alternatives in fuel and energy balance with
0,8 % to 20-25 %. Preferential vacation – release from payment of the excise duty, the profits tax, a zero rate with the VAT should become a push to it.
The main attention of experts is concentrated to production of biogas. Use of available potential of raw materials for development of this type of fuel will allow to replace 10 billion m3 of imported natural gas.
The thesis about prospects of development of this direction was supported also by the minister of an agrarian policy Yury Melnik who has noted that the share of production of biogas in EU countries reaches 44 %. Germany is in the lead: there work of 4450 biogas installations allows to replace 2 billion m3 of natural gas. Now around the world the volume of production of biogas increases by 20-25 %. Ukraine has all necessary for development of this sphere.
The ministry of an agrarian policy of Ukraine supports for a long time introduction in the country of biogas technologies and projects. Now at a stage of implementation of 8 projects, in plans – 15 more. In the Vasilkovsky region of Kiev region creation of the biopower small town is planned.
MINAP closely cooperates with potential investors, for example, the Swedish company Biosistem, promised to provide to Ukraine 22 million euros for implementation of projects of production of biogas.
There was a problem of connection of the enterprises – producers of alternative energy to the general power system: they should receive a set of permissions and spend many means. At the same time abroad to make an application quite simply.
NKRE established the price for alternative energy – 66 kopeks for 1 kW, while the average price of the usual electric power – 33 kopeks.
The Minister of Fuel and Energy promised to consider the remark on simplification of procedure of connection of the enterprises – producers of alternative energy to a power supply system.
Proposals of representatives of the business structures introducing biogas projects are practical. For example, the representative of the Biosistem company suggested the government to introduce penalties for the enterprises which are not utilizing a biopower waste. The Zorg company insisted on carrying out large-scale actions for promoting of production and biogas use.
According to businessmen, prime cost of the made biogas makes 20-25 dollars for 1000 m3, and after cleaning (then it is equated to natural) – 30-35 dollars for one thousand cubic meter.
Since 2012 penalties for non-use by the enterprises of biopower industrial wastes within 3 years in a row should be entered at legislative level. The ministry of industrial policy should develop the special program of assistance of the organization of production in Ukraine of the equipment for use of renewable and alternative power sources.
Large-scale campaign for promoting of use of biogas will be carried out by the Ministry of an agrarian policy of Ukraine, and by Minregionstra with the interested departments will determine one of country regions for introduction of pilot projects and creation of a so-called "energetically independent" cell.
Soon the program of creation of individual thermal points and transfer of municipal boiler rooms to use of alternative power sources will be developed. In Ukraine 29 thousand boiler rooms, from them 63 % use natural gas. Replacement of a type of fuel will allow to save to 6-8 million m3 of gas.
The government approved the concept of the state target scientific and technical program Development of production and use of species of fuel. The program purpose – increase of level economic and a homeland security of the country, reduction of use of natural gas and oil products at the expense of biofuel application on the basis of power effective and non-polluting technologies, increase of level of environmental protection.
The main objectives of the program – legislation improvement in the sphere of production and biofuel use on the basis of economic and financial incentives, providing taking into account development of thermal networks of settlements and the feasibility study on replacement of the coppers working at natural gas, fuel oil and coal, on power effective coppers and the heatgenerators working at biofuel; use of potential of biogas of ranges of TBO and biogas from a waste of animal husbandry by application of biogas installations.
The assessment of resource potential for production of biofuel in Ukraine and developments of a source of raw materials, improvement of technologies on production of bioethanol and diesel biofuel, assistance to building of objects on production of biogas, diesel biofuel, bioethanol, and also a reshaping of a part of the enterprises food and processing industry on production of biofuel is supposed.
Implementation of such program will allow to replace to 5,6 billion m3 of natural gas and more than 1 million t of light oil products at costs of realization of 7,5 billion UAH. from different sources of financing.
