Ukraine has the potential to transition its transport sector to more sustainable energy sources by 2030. It has the resources and technologies needed to produce biofuels like bioethanol from agricultural waste as a short-term solution, and focus on hydrogen as a long-term transport fuel produced from domestic methane and biomass. Realizing this vision will require adapting legislation, incentivizing eco-fuel production through taxes and grants, developing infrastructure, and educating the public.

Energy system in
Ukraine
Sector: Transport

2. Our vision of energy situation by
2030
ØDevelopment of energy system based on
innovations and international cooperation
directed on environmental protection
ØEnergy production safety
ØIncreasing total part of energy sources, without
CO2 emission
ØTendency to spreading of consuming
renewable energy sources
Group 7

3. Perspective solution for SD:
eco-transport
It is based on:
• Biofuel
• Hydrogen
• Electric and solar energy
Group 7

4. Biofuel
There are three main types of transport biofuel:
l Biogas (mainly methane)
l Biodiesel
l Bioethanol
The usage of bioethanol is one of the most perspective
solutions for environmental protection. It can be produced of
agricultural and consumer waste, plants, wood, etc. World
leaders on its production are Brazil and USA.
Group 7

5. Bioethanol advantages:
l Usage of bioethanol as the addition to petrol will reduce the
amount of CO, NO and other harmful substances
l Increasing the petrol quality (high-octane number)
l Deliverance from waste
l Relatively easy producing process
l Inexpensive fuel

6. The example
Obvio quot;Tribridquot; – new generation car, which has combined
engine. In that way it can use ordinary petrol, natural gas
and bioethanol.
Cost depends on version, but average price is $28.000.
This car will be done to 2008.

8. The Hybride Cars are transition technology. The most
perspective solution is based on hydrogen fuel transport,
which is used in space devices.
Such engines make no pollution in atmosphere cause of water
steam like a result of action. Scientists foresee that the
spread of biofuel will solve the main world energy problem.

9. Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure
Technologies Program
The goal of this program is to help
industry develop technologies
to produce, store, transport
and use hydrogen.
Hydrogen can be produced from a
wide variety of domestic
resources using several
technologies. This electric
energy can be used to power
our vehicles as well as heat,
cool, and power our homes
and buildings.
Group 7

10. Advantages of Hydrogen:
l unexhausted energy source;
l result of hydrogen combustion in oxygen is warm and
water;
l combination “hydrogen + oxygen” has biggest
maintenance of energy per unit of mass
Group 7

11. Packaging
l New and innovative tank designs will provide
better containment, reduced weight and volume,
and improved safety.

13. Necessary resources:
• mine methane
• biomass

16. A battery electric vehicle (BEV)
It is an electric vehicle that
utilizes chemical energy
stored in rechargeable
battery packs. Electric
vehicles use electric
motors instead of, or in
addition to, internal
combustion engines
(ICEs).
Group 7

17. Conclusion:
Ukraine has all facilities to produce eco-fuel using
renewable resources.
l For the short-time period the bioethanol production and
consuming are perspective.
l For the long-term period it’s better to focus on hydrogen
as the transport fuel.
Group 7

18. Measuring:
l Ecology protection: controlling the amount of CO, NO
and other harmful substances. It must be no higher than
fixed limit
l Economy effectiveness: new fuel should be cheaper
then the existing one. Prices for hydrogen will reduce
and the prices for mine resources will increase
l Energy independence
l Coefficient of efficiency: it should be higher than COE of
hydrogen (70-80%) and mine resources (40%).
Group 7

19. To realize the sustainability
goals it is necessary:
l to adapt the legislation for such science intensive
technologies
l to set the low taxes for using the eco-safety fuel and
transport
l to implement controlling devices
l grants and awards for companies which product eco-fuel
l to develop business projects to attract investments
l to spread the eco-fuel idea in society
l to use the international experience in sustainable
development
