PECULIARITIES OF REFORMING THE ENERGY RESOURCES MARKET OF UKRAINE

Introduction. Ukraine is characterized by a certain energy dependence, as in most European countries, but its excessive dependence on external monopoly sources of fuel and energy resources has been and is one of the major threats to both energy security and national security in general. The main means to counteract these threats is to diversify not only the sources and routes of transportation of energy resources, but also energy technologies, the system of production and consumption of energy resources.Hypothesis: introduction of the model of configuration regulation / reform of the energy market will allow to move to a climate-neutral development of Ukraine by 2050 within the framework of the program "European Green Deal", to significantly accelerate energy transformations.The purpose of the study is to justify and develop practical recommendations for reforming the energy market in Ukraine.Methods of research: statistical analysis – for comparative analysis and determination of dynamics of production and consumption of basic energy resources; system analysis – to substantiate and develop a model of configuration regulation / reform of the energy market.Results: The dynamics of primary energy consumption are analyzed: coal, crude oil and petroleum products, natural gas, electricity / hydropower, nuclear, wind, solar, bio, heat. A systematic analysis of energy supply was carried out, optimistic, realistic and pessimistic forecasts of Ukraine's fuel and energy balance until 2035 were constructed. Developed and proposed to use a configuration regulation / reform model to implement energy market reform.Conclusions: implementation of the model of configuration regulation / reformation of the energy market will allow to implement measures for rational use of energy resources, to reduce the energy intensity of the gross domestic product. The formation of effective tools for reforming the energy market will allow to implement the main principles of the Concept of "green" energy transition of Ukraine to 2050.

Long Time

According to some definitions, an energy transition refers to the time that elapses between the introduction of a new primary energy source, or prime mover, and its rise to claiming a substantial share of the overall energy market. According to one academic view, energy transitions take an incredibly long time to occur. Another view argues the opposite. It suggests that there have been many transitions at varying scales that have occurred quite quickly—that is, between a few years and a decade or so, or within a single generation. This chapter holds that both sides are partly right, and partly wrong. After presenting evidence in support of either thesis, it elucidates four lessons for energy analysts and policymakers.

Production And Consumption

In the study devoted to the identification of priority areas for structural transformation of the energy market of Ukraine, a sectoral analysis of production and consumption of energy sources was conducted. It is substantiated that the development of the domestic energy market of Ukraine is characterized by significant sectoral inequality. It is noted that the demand and supply of energy in 2014-2019 decreased, mainly due to the reduction of production and consumption of fossil fuels. It was found that the state monopoly in most energy market sectors has a negative impact on the production, transmission, supply and distribution of energy resources. Total energy production decreased, mostly due to decarbonization, while non-energy consumption of fossil fuels increased. It is shown that the satisfaction of market needs in energy resources of domestic production is insufficient due to insufficient investment, low level of technological re-equipment, lack of pricing, loss of human resources and significant market opacity. There is a high probability of insufficient supply of energy resources, which could lead to a crisis in the domestic market for energy consumption. The main obstacles to the effective development of the energy market are over-regulation, significant monopolization of generation, supply and distribution of resources. The rapid technological renewal of enterprises in the industry is affecting the rapid change in the structure of their costs, which highlights the corruption risks associated with government subsidies. Insufficient substantiation and unsystematic structural transformations of the industry, lack of funding sources and legislative gaps were noted, which negatively affects the competitiveness of domestic market operators. There is an urgent need for institutional provision of conditions of fair competition, liberalization of pricing, growth of energy efficiency and security of energy supply, the issue of Ukraine’s accession to the Fourth EU Energy Package is acute. The target of market stabilization is to reduce the gap in the balance of supply with the simultaneous growth of the share of domestic production, which will improve Ukraine’s foreign trade balance, increase contributions to the budgets of various levels and create new jobs.

Abstract: Based on the promise to revolutionize the entire supply chain, additive manufacturing is seen as an alternative to conventional manufacturing processes, since it simplifies the production of small batches, shortens the distances between production and consumption and generates new distribution models. Due to its huge potential to spread more sustainable environmental practices, investigations on the environmental assumptions, concerning the application of additive manufacturing technologies, are required. Therefore, based on a systematic literature review, this study aimed to analyze the studies that addressed the environmental performance of logistics operations in a comparison among conventional and additive manufacturing, using the Life Cycle Assessment technic (LCA). Although there are few available studies that quantitatively analyze and compare the environmental performance of the additive manufacturing process with traditional process from a transport perspective, it has been concluded that reducing the distances and the quantity of transported products, carbon dioxide emissions and the consumption of energy resources are reduced.

The Republic

The article assesses prospects of the Russian-Korean cooperation and analyzes risks and opportunities of the trilateral energy projects on the Korean Peninsula. The author noted that energy sector is the key area of bilateral cooperation between Russia and the Republic of Korea, but it’s mainly represented by the trade in primary energy resources. The study identified the export potential of Russian hydrocarbons to the market of the Republic of Korea. As for the DPRK, the paper shows that within bilateral relations geopolitical interests prevail over the economic ones. The small capacity of the DPRK's domestic market and the absence of fixation sources do not allow considering it as an independent full-fledged market for the Russian energy resources. The main goal of the energy strategy of Russia and the Russian Far East is increasing the volume of exports of the primary energy resources to the APR countries. Russian prospects for the new product niches in the energy markets of the Republic of Korea are associated with the implementation of trilateral energy projects among Russia, the DPRK and the Republic of Korea. It includes creation of the interstate power transmission lines and construction of a gas pipeline. All parties are interested in these projects. As for Russia, it is primarily the expansion of energy exports, including occupation of the commodity niches in new markets, and strengthening of the political role in the region. As for the Republic of Korea, these projects mean diversification of supplies and costs’ reduction of the import energy resources. And as for the DPRK, these projects imply an additional source of financing (as payment for transit), improvement of the country's energy infrastructure and reduction of the deficit of energy resources. Despite the prospects, the author determined that in the near future implementation of the projects is unlikely due to the unresolved transit risks.

Visegrad Group

The aim of the research is to analyse the energy transition in the Visegrad Group countries, because they depend on the production of energy from the burning of fossil fuels, and transition is a huge challenge for them. The diversity of the energy transformation in the V4 countries was examined by using two qualitative methods, including literature analysis and comparative analysis. The timeframe of the study was set for the period from 2020 to 2030, as these years are crucial for the implementation of the European Green Deal Programme. Four diagnostic features were taken into account in the analysis: the share of RES in final energy consumption, reduction of CO2 emissions in the non-Emissions Trading System (ETS) sector, date of withdrawal of coal from the economy, and energy efficiency. The analysis shows that the V4 countries have different approaches and levels of energy transformation in their economies. Poland is in the most difficult situation, being the most dependent on the production of electricity from coal, as well as having the largest number of employees in the coal and around coal sector. The other countries of the group can base their transformation on nuclear energy, as each of them has at least four such power units. The increased use of biomass for energy and heat production is the most important stimulus for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) growth in the analysed countries. The ambivalent attitude of the political elite to unconventional sources in the four analysed countries significantly hinders the development of certain forms of green energy. However, it has been observed that an increasing proportion of the population, especially those living in regions of the country where there is no fossil fuel mining industry, has a positive attitude towards energy transformation. The study is the first that shows the state of involvement in the process of systemic change of the Visegrad Group countries. The results can serve as a starting point for understanding the reticence of this group of European countries towards the transformation phenomenon, as well as contributing to further research on the implementation of closed-circuit economies in the Visegrad Group countries.
