Introduction In Ukraine phyto-energetic may become an upcoming trend of agricultural development. To achieve this we have the soil and climatic conditions to grow crops with high vegetative mass in large quantities. The development of bio energy technologies will reduce Ukraine’s dependence on importing energy resources, improve energy security on account of energy supply by using local renewable resources, create a signifi cant number of new workplaces, and will make a signifi cant contribution to the improvement of the environmental situation. Leading woody energy plants in Europe are willows. Therefore, the technologies of growing and use of Swedish energy willow bio fuels are extensively studied in Ukraine. Material and methods Regulatory support of energy willow crops in Ukraine is the Law of Ukraine № 555-IV «On Alternative Energy Sources», dated 21.10.2008, the Law of Ukraine № 1391-XIV «On Alternative Kinds of Fuels», dated 21.05.2009, the Law of Ukraine № 411-IV «On Seeds and Planting Material», dated 09.12.2010. The cost of energy plantations forming and operating is calculated on the basis of existing standards of Ukrainian forestry, time and fuel consumption (Recommendations for growing technology, 1992; Rate of production and standards of fuel consumption, 2007, Rate of production of forest cultivation, forest-protection and fi re-prevention work, 2007). Results and discussions The notion «energy willow» includes several species of fast-growing willows. The most popular is basket willow (Salix viminalis L.). Autochthonous marsh elders also have energetic properties, including Salix acutifolia Willd., S. triandra L., S. purpurea L. with phytomass growth of 1,0-2,0 per year. These are the species with sparse areal, major reserve stocks and broad ecological range. Such plantations are created in order to get biomass, which is used to produce ethanol, butanol and biogas and biogas and solid biofuel processed to briquettes and pellets. Let us consider the calculation and analysis plan for creation of willow bio energy plantation in Ukraine. For our calculations we take one hectare of land, excluded from agricultural use, where the energy willow plantation will be formed. The planting material is annual cuttings of 20 cm, the planting scheme is as follows: row-spacing – 75 cm, distance in a row – 33 cm, the requisite quantity of cuttings per hectare is 40 000. As biomass is stored up usually after 3 years, the expenses are also counted for years. Conclusions Thus, the estimate for the forming of energy willow plantation before the fi rst growth is 20155 UAH. As a result of incurred expenses, we are able to get 22 tons per hectare every three year within 25-30 years. Stocking up the cuttings for planting over the area of 5-7 ha is also possible. Thus, the development of bio energy plantations for fast-growing wood will solve a number of economic, environmental and social issues of today. Using the resource potential of Ukraine completely, that is agricultural land afforestation, gives an opportunity to get the renewable energy source as biomass. New technologies of biomass conversion and its use in the energy industry of Ukraine offer the ability to create energyindependent country.
