Due to the importance of agriculture in Ukraine, biomass has considerable potential for renewable energy production. The production of biofuels is governed, inter alia, by the Law "on Alternative Types of Liquid and Gas Fuel", which provides for equal access (no discrimination) to the biofuel market for all biofuel producers, subject to licensing by the State Fiscal Service. In July 2014, Law No. 1638-VII was adopted, which cancelled the exhaustive list of 12 state alcohol enterprises with the exclusive right to produce bioethanol, opening the market for bioethanol production to all licensed enterprises. On 2 March 2015, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law "on Licensing of Types of Economic Activity" which significantly reduced the number of licensable business activities, cancelling the requirement of obtaining a licence for sales of liquid fuel made from biomass and biogas. Law No. 191-VIII "on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Simplification of the Conduct of Business (Deregulation)" of 12 February 2015 cancelled the minimum blend ratio for biofuels. [86] Incentives for biofuel producers include tariff and VAT exemptions.
[86] 5% in 2014 15, increasing to 7% on 1 January 2016.
