Formation of state support economic mechanism for solid biofuel producers

The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of the solid biofuels market, evaluate functionality and develop an appropriate economic mechanism for its development. Research methodology was based on the general theoretical methods of scientific knowledge, including the fundamental economic principles of the development of energy resources market, highlighted in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. In the research have been used the calculation-analytical and abstract-logical scientific methods, modeling and generalization. Research results of the production and sale of solid biofuels and the prospects for further development have been presented. There have been determined that the current state of the market supply of thermal energy provides rapid transition to alternative fuels, but their production is complicated due to the current economic situation. Elements of scientific novelty. The concept for forming an economic mechanism of stimulation for solid biomass producers has been developed and proposed a formula for determining the volume of financial support (eco-compensation). Practical significance. The importance of introducing state support for producers of alternative fuels at the present stage of socio-economic development of Ukraine has been substantiated. Tabl.: 2.
