Durante séculos, a cal foi um produto essencial em muitos aspectos da vida e do trabalho, especialmente nas áreas de ocorrência de calcário, fato comprovado por ruínas e representações artísticas de fornos de cal nas(das) paisagens de diferentes lugares do mundo. Essas paisagens e suas representações, configuram-se, na Geografia, um importante objeto de estudo, tendo o conceito de paisagem como principal recurso teórico-meteodológico. Diante desse contexto, o presente artigo tem como finalidade analisar as paisagens condicionantes e resultantes da atividade da produção da cal na região do Alto Coreaú, porção noroeste do Estado do Ceará, e, principalmente, utilizá-la como campo empírico para discussão dos principais aspectos que estruturam o referido conceito. A análise partirá da tríade de elementos da paisagem: calcário, caieira e cal identificando a relação entre sociedade e natureza e suas dimensões espaciais e temporais a partir da apropriação da rocha calcária como recurso natural, tanto do ponto de vista econômico como cultural. Entre os resultados podemos constatar a forte ligação entre os sistemas naturais e sociais em diferentes escalas de unidade de paisagem (depressão, campos calcários e afloramentos) e temporais (variação anual das chuvas à décadas de trasnsformações econômicas, ambentais e culturais), constitundo diferentes circuitos econômicos (cal e cimento) marcados pela decadência da produção da cal tanto do ponto de vista econômico, quanto cultural e o surgimento de novos elementos na paisagem regional, as fábricas de confecção de roupas. Calcário, caieira e cal: análise da paisagem no Alto Coreaú (Ceará)   A B S T R A C T For centuries, quicklime was an essential product in many aspects of life and work, especially in areas where limestone occurs, a fact proven by ruins and artistic representations of limekilns in landscapes from different places in the world. These landscapes and their representations, configured, in Geography, an important object of study, having the concept of landscape as the main theoretical-meteorological resource. Given this context, the present article has the means to analyze the conditioning and resulting landscapes of the quicklime production activity in the Alto Coreaú region, Northwest part of the State of Ceará. An analysis based on the triad of elements of the landscape: limestone, caieira (limekiln) and quicklime identifying a relationship between society and nature and their spatial and temporary differences from the appropriation of limestone as a natural resource, both from an economic and cultural point of view. Among the results, we can see the decline in the quicklime production activity in Alto Coreaú with the high number of deactivated and destroyed limekiln resulting from economic, labor and environmental transformations that the region and the sector are going through, breaking with the representation of the landscape by the limestone-limekiln-quicklime triad, but leaving very significant cultural marks in the landscape that can be valued as geoheritage in an integrating interface between nature, economy and culture.       Keywords: landscape, natural resource, limestone, limekiln, quicklime.

Biofuel is one of the world’s major alternative sources of energy derived from biomass which includes almost all organic substances. In this regard, the state and prospects of development of the world bioenergy have been considered. The positive and negative sides of increasing energy production from biomass have been revealed. The analysis of the countries with the greatest biological resources for the production of liquid and gaseous biofuels has been carried out. The leading countries in the production of various types of biofuels have been determined and the measures of state support, contributing to the development of this direction, have been analyzed. The state and prospects of bioenergy development in Russia have been considered. The export potential of the country in the field of biofuel production and its use in industry has been revealed. It has been established, that despite some successes in the use of biofuel, the development of bioenergy projects in Russia still leaves much to be desired. The reasons, hindering the development of bioenergy in Russia, and measures to stimulate the development of biofuel production have been identified. In this regard, a flexible policy of the state in terms of innovation and energy is necessary, while today the state is focused on traditional energy sources.

The urgency to reduce resource depletion and waste production is expected to lead to an economy based on renewable resources. Biofuels, for instance, are a great green alternative to fossil fuel, but they are currently derived from edible vegetable oils such as soybean, palm, and sunflower. Concerns have been raised about the social–economic implication and ecological impacts of biodiesel production. Cultivating new lands as biodiesel feedstock rather than food supply, with the consequent increase in food prices, leads to so-called indirect land-use change (ILUC). Establishing bioenergy crops with phytoremediation ability on contaminated soils offers multiple benefits such as improving soil properties and ecosystem services, decreasing soil erosion, and diminishing the dispersion of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) into the environment. Castor bean is an unpalatable, high-biomass plant, and it has been widely demonstrated to possess phytoremediation capability for several PTEs. Castor bean can grow on marginal lands not suitable for food crops, has multiple uses as a raw material, and is already used in biodiesel production. These characteristics make it perfect for sustainable biodiesel production. Linking biofuel production with environmental remediation can be considered a win–win strategy.

The implementation of the cluster approach is quite relevant in connection with the need to ensure economic and energy security of the state in general and the fuel and energy complex of the country in particular. A promising area for strengthening the energy security of the state is the development of bioenergy. One of the main problems of bioenergy is the uneven distribution and redistribution of raw materials and products of bioenergy. Both problems are most clearly manifested in territorial aspects. But at the same time, they lead to another serious problem - the inconsistency of production and sale of bioenergy products, and hence the impossibility of implementation and development of bioenergy. The article reveals the taxonomy of cluster formations in the economy. The question of the possibility of forming bioenergy clusters of biofuel production from bioenergy crops and wastes is described. It is established that the founder of the cluster approach was A. Marshall. Approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «cluster» of leading world and domestic scientists, as well as international organizations have been studied. The general structure of the cluster is described and the groups of interacting subjects of the bioenergy cluster are determined. The model of the territorial bioenergy cluster of biofuel production from agricultural crops and wastes is formed, its features and reconfiguration are determined. The advantages of creating bioenergy clusters are identified. All links of the cluster should increase the profitability and competitiveness of the industry’s products, ensure the sale of bioenergy products and find the most optimal and most profitable options for the production and sale of products. A PEST matrix of analysis of bioenergy clusters formation is constructed. The main bases of state support of bioenergy clusters are determined. The All-Ukrainian Research and Training Consortium Educational Research and Production Complex is described as an example of a cluster that ensures the development of bioenergy. Prospects for the formation of bioenergy clusters for the production of biofuels from crops and waste in Ukraine are identified.

The article substantiates that the lack of a single interpretation of the concept of «energy crops» leads to difficulties in approaches to state incentives for the development of their production. It is determined that domestic scientists understand energy crops as a rule, as crops, grown for the use exclusively for energy purposes (willow, poplar, miscanthus, switchgrass, etc.). The classification of bioenergy crops by such features as: growing cycle, type, characteristics and the final product obtained, origin is considered. It has been proved that growing of energy crops will have a positive effect for the economy (improving the state balance of payments, reducing energy costs, economic growth) and the environment (decarbonization, reducing emissions, land reclamation, etc.). The characteristics of energy crops in relation to growing conditions are given and a review of plant varieties for bioenergy use from the State Register of plant varieties suitable for distribution in Ukraine in 2021 is made. The peculiarities of the technology of growing giant miscanthus, energy willow and poplar are considered; economic calculations of efficiency of cultivation of miscanthus on one hectare are resulted. The experience in growing energy crops by the Yaltushkivka Research and Breeding Station, where miscanthus and energy willow plantations were laid in 2017 and the crops are used for self-sufficiency in energy resources, is analyzed. Options for growing and further use of energy crops as fuel, including the sale of energy crops and biofuels based on them, as well as use for energy autonomy (direct combustion or production of pellets / briquettes with their further use within the enterprise) is considered. The choice of the most economically viable option depends on the specific conditions of the agricultural enterprises.
