Stanko T. Efficiency of the projects of energy willow production at agricultural enterprises

Basing on the conducted research, the dissertation provides solution for the scientific and applied problem of determining the efficiency of the projects of energy willow production at agricultural enterprises that are developed on the models of phased planting of crops with consideration of the area and frequency of biomass harvesting. The thesis provides definition of the models of organizations of energy willow production, which suggest development of the variants of succession of plantation starting and biomass harvesting to obtain a maximum profit at minimum costs, to support the balanced rational use of labour resources, machinery and permanent supply of products for consumers. There are six developed models of willow growing organization. The research presents result of the investment analysis of the project, based on the developed models of organization of the energy willow production, involving statistical and dynamic methods of cash flow evaluation. The researcher has studied the indices of economic efficiency for the developed models of implementation of the bioenergy project on the willow base. It is substantiated that the highest values of profit and profitability level are achieved under production organization according to the 6th model.
