Prokip A. Environmental-Economic Assessment of Nonrenewable Recourses Substitution With Biologically Renewable

Subject of inquiry is a process of nonrenewable recourses substitution with biologically renewable. Aim of the study is improving of theoretical and practical facets of environmental-economics efficiency of nonrenewable energy recourses substitution with biologically renewable, substitution criteria formalization and substitution efficiency valuation methods developing. In study where used analyses methods: functional and structural analyses (to valuate resources usage impact upon business and environment’s fields an human’s life); systemic-analytical (to explore critically resource substitution efficiency valuating approaches); statistical analysis methods (to compare statistical data); package and system approach (to develop valuating efficiency of nonrenewable energy recourses substitution with biologically renewable techniques, to take into account substitution influence upon economic fields); induction and deductive methods (to analyze scientists opinions on the considered problem and ground main principles of the study and conclusions). Among the most significant scientific results, which are new are: for the first time grounded substitution environment-economics efficiency valuating method, based on comparing economic effect in the case of equal environment impact; putting environment impacts to the same footing takes place after production increment with the variant with lower specific pollution; for the first time grounded method of wooden residua energy using efficiency valuating to provide wood drying apparatus engagement; keeping to for the first time grounded rules of using wood as energy source is necessary; method of optimal resources combination within production function, which unlike already existing, takes under consideration pollution preventing costs improved; developed classification of environment effec; renewable energy usage rules; environment-economics energy resources substitution efficiency valuating method, which unlike already existing is based upon pollution preventing costs; state energy dependence valuating method. Scientific results are used by Lviv City Council and Lviv Regional Administration. Application branches: energetics, natural resources economics, environmental protection.
