Analysis of the biofuel production regulation in Russia and in the world

Modern theoretical views point to the increasing role of renewable energy sources, biofuels in particular, as a way of creating a sustainable economy and an important condition for successful socio-economic development. Various methods of regulation are used to stimulate the production of biofuels in the world. The heterogeneous socio-economic situation of the world's countries makes it necessary to solve a whole range of scientific tasks to continuously optimize existing national programs for the development of the energy sector and determine the place of renewable energy production in them. The global heterogeneous socio-economic situation makes it necessary to solve a whole range of scientific tasks to continuously optimize existing national programs for energy sector development and determine the place of renewable energy production. The purpose of this study was to study the regulatory framework features for biofuel production in Russia according to the available target indicators for the development of the renewables and taking into account the experience of some leading countries. Based on the analysis, a number of directions for the development of regulatory support for biofuel production in Russia are identified: organizational, resource, environmental, scientific, educational, and economic. The collected information on the accumulated experience of the Russian Federation in the field of production of renewables is presented, as well as relevant materials available in some developed and developing countries. Based on these data, it is noted that the regulation of biofuel production by processing solid industrial, agricultural and household wastes containing organic compounds (biomass) can be considered as one of the promising approaches to protecting the environment from anthropogenic pollution both in the Russian Federation and in other countries. Thus, this approach in the future may be of key importance for the preservation and improvement of existing environmental conditions.
