INSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT FOR STATE MANAGEMENT OF THE BIOENERGY SECTOR’S DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL TRANSFORMATIONS

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the need to transform Ukraine’s energy policy in the context of war, global climate challenges and the need for integration into the European energy space. Bioenergy is emerging as a strategic direction for ensuring energy independence, decarbonization of the economy and sustainable development of regions. The purpose of the study is to identify the institutional and regulatory features of public administration in the field of bioenergy in Ukraine in the context of globalization processes. The study uses a systematic, institutional, comparative, analytical and content analysis of legal acts and scientific sources, which ensures a comprehensive approach to assessing the state and trends of the industry. The study found that the Ukrainian model of public administration in the field of bioenergy is in the process of transition from fragmented regulatory support to a systemic policy based on EU standards. The main aspects of legislation harmonization with Directives (EU) 2018/2001 (RED II) and (EU) 2023/2413 (RED III) are defined, the effectiveness of the management process enhancement through decentralization and intersectoral collaboration is described. It is justified that the creation of the multi-level system of the public administration needs a complex of regulatory incentives, support and digitalization of the management. The practical value of the results is in the fact that the proposed conclusions could be adopted to revise the state strategies, form energy clusters, enhance the regulatory framework and increase the institutional capacity of Ukraine in the sphere of renewable energy.
