Influence of energy efficiency of forestry enterprises on forestry land use indicators
Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this work is to improve the system of impact of energy efficiency of forestry enterprises on ensuring the balance of ecological and economic indicators of the use of forestry land.
Methodology / approach. The following methods are used: dialectical method of cognition; method of analogies; statistical; graphic; abstract and logical. The information base of the research is the data of the Global Forest Resources Assessment of FAO 2020, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the reporting of the State Forestry Agency of Ukraine, the data of the Forest Stewardship Council®. The reporting indicators of the State Forestry Agency of Ukraine, under whose departmental authority 73 % of the forest lands of Ukraine are located, were studied for 2016–2021. The reporting is detailed for 24 regional forestry and hunting managements, which are subordinate to the State Forestry Agency of Ukraine and are its territorial bodies. The methodology for ensuring the energy efficiency of forestry land use is based on the implementation of strategic imperatives of energy efficiency of forestry land use, which provides for the improvement of the State Forest Management Strategy of Ukraine until 2035.
Results. The influence of the energy efficiency of forestry enterprises on ensuring the balance of forestry land use indicators has been studied, and proposals have been made for ways to increase the energy efficiency of forestry enterprises. According to data from 2016 to 2021, the dynamics of consumption of fuel and energy resources by forestry enterprises under the departmental subordination of the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine was determined; an economic measurement of the energy efficiency of forestry activities was carried out; an assessment of the impact of energy efficiency on the effectiveness of forestry land use indicators was carried out. It was established that the indicators of the energy intensity of the products sold by the state forestry farms under the management of the State Forestry Agency of Ukraine for 2016–2021 had a positive trend of decrease in 21 regions, and increased in 3 regions. The range of reduction in the energy intensity of sold products for 2016–2021 by region was from 2.7 % to 55.7 %. The assessment of the impact of energy intensity on the profitability of state forestry enterprises of the State Forestry Agency of Ukraine on average for 2016–2021 was carried out, which showed an inverse relationship with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.7128. It has been proven that increasing the energy efficiency of forestry enterprises is a favorable factor in balancing the ecological and economic indicators of the use of forestry land. Reasoned strategic imperatives for increasing the energy efficiency of forestry activities are proposed in order to ensure the balance of ecological and economic indicators of the use of forestry land. It is proposed to improve the State Forest Management Strategy of Ukraine until 2035 regarding the strategic imperatives of ensuring the energy efficiency of forestry land use. All this will make it possible to develop the energy efficiency of forestry enterprises in order to ensure the balance of ecological and economic indicators of the use of forestry land.
Originality / scientific novelty. The need to increase the energy efficiency of forestry enterprises in order to ensure the balance of indicators of the use of forestry land in modern conditions has been proven. Aspects of ensuring the energy efficiency of forestry land use are substantiated, which is based on the implementation of strategic imperatives of energy efficiency of forestry land use, which provides for the improvement of the State Forest Management Strategy of Ukraine until 2035, in particular: encouraging investments aimed at technological re-equipment and technical modernization of forestry land use; reduction of the energy intensity of the gross domestic product of the forestry industry; diversification of consumption of energy resources, growth of the share of consumption of ecologically clean energy.
Practical value / implications. The scientific results of the study have important practical significance for improving the management of forests in Ukraine, which will ensure the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals at the national level, defined by the strategy of the state environmental policy of Ukraine. The national strategic imperatives of increasing the energy efficiency of forestry enterprises will contribute to the balance of indicators of the use of forestry land in modern conditions.
