Analysis of methodological bases of energy-economic assessment of agricultural technologies and projects

摘要

The article shows that the urgency of the fuel and energy problem determines the need for rational energy consumption in all sectors of the economy, including agriculture. A comprehensive cross-sectoral approach is needed to address the issues of systematic management of energy saving in agriculture and to justify rational measures of economic support for the introduction of energy-saving technologies, machines, and projects on the part of the state. It is shown that the energy-economic (bioenergetic) estimation method meets these requirements.. The main advantage of the energy-economic assessment is that its application makes it possible to compare in single units of measurement (regardless of the historical period or the state, the current market situation) the costs of cultivating plants or servicing animals with the results of production and is mainly of national strategic importance. An approach to improving the methodology of energy-economic assessment of agricultural technologies and projects when using renewable energy sources in technological processes is presented. It is proved that in order to ensure the reliability of the energy-economic assessment in connection with the constant technological and organizational changes and the digitalization of technology and the economy, it is necessary to continue research in the direction of improving the methodology for assessing, clarifying and regularly updating energy equivalents.
