Abstract:
This article examines the theoretical, methodological, organizational, economic, and applied foundations for developing an integrated model of strategic management for agrobiomass processing in biofuel production at enterprises in the agro-industrial complex. It is substantiated that current trends in the global economy, rising energy risks, the need to ensure energy independence, the decarbonisation of production, and the implementation of circular economy principles necessitate the efficient use of the resource potential of agrarian biomass as one of the key factors in the sustainable development of the agrarian sector. It has been found that the comprehensive processing of crop by-products, organic livestock waste, food industry waste, and specially cultivated energy crops creates the conditions for the formation of multifunctional bioenergy production facilities capable of supplying agribusiness enterprises with renewable energy sources, and to enhance their economic stability and competitiveness. This study systematized the main types of agrobiomass according to their sources of origin, physicochemical characteristics, technological features, and areas of application in the production of various types of biofuels. A comprehensive analysis was conducted of the current status and prospects for the use of crop residues, organic livestock waste, food industry by-products, and energy crops as feedstocks for the production of biogas, biomethane, bioethanol, biodiesel, and solid biofuels. The development of integrated biorefineries has been identified as a promising modern model for the comprehensive and waste-minimising utilisation of agrobiomass. Their operation involves the integration of interrelated technological processes for converting crop residues, livestock organic waste, by-products of the food-processing industry, and purpose-grown energy crops. Within a single production complex, this approach enables the simultaneous production of biogas, biomethane, bioethanol, biodiesel, solid biofuels, heat and electricity, as well as organic fertilisers, feed components, and other valuable co-products. The implementation of such integrated production systems will enhance energy self-sufficiency, diversify revenue streams, reduce organic waste volumes and greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to the development of a circular bioeconomy and the strengthening of Ukraine’s energy security.

Keywords: agrobiomass; biofuel; biogas; biomethane; bioethanol; biodiesel; solid biofuel; strategic development; bioenergy; circular economy; energy independence; strategic planning.
