The peculiarities of development of the fuel and energy complex were determined, the main of which are: large amount of coal extracted by mining, small-scale extraction of peat, absence of major electric power stations and high percentage of incoming electric energy from other regions. The paper gives a characterization of the energy balance in the Oblast, and also structure of reserves of coal mines and oil deposits. Areas promising for extraction of bituminous and brown coal, oil, gas, peat and other fuel resources were determined. The structure of consumption of fuel-energy resources by types of organic fuel was determined. Patterns of consumption of the main types of energy carriers in the region were distinguished. The structure of capacities of alternative energy resources in Lviv Oblast was determined. We determined the reasons for the low efficiency of use of natural resources and peculiarities and problems of the development of the energy sphere in the region, the main of which are the unsatisfactory technical condition of the objects of the fuel and energy complex, non-effective system of management in the sphere, absence of new sources of providing primary energy resources. We suggested recommendations on increasing the efficiency of functioning of the fuel and energy complex on the basis of use of non-traditional types of energy sources, i.e.: energy of sun, wind, biomass of solid fuel and others, which would allow natural and financial resources to be saved.

Relevance of the topic. The socio-economic development of Ukraine in general, and its regions in particular, is closely related to the level of the development of all structural units of the fuel and energy complex (FEC). Development of this sphere has a significant impact on the tempi of increase in the production and its scales. In modern economic conditions, fuel and energy are considered at the same time a resource and a factor of production. This conditions the relevance of the study of the peculiarities of the development of the fuel-energy complex of Ukraine at the regional level.
Analysis of studies and publications. The conditions and perspectives of development of the fuel and energy complex as an important component of the economy of the country have been studied in many research and scientific publications by both domestic and foreign authors. At the state level, the main aspects and perspectives of development of FEC in Ukraine and its regions are described in a number of legal acts, the Conception of State Energy policy of Ukraine for the period to 2020 (Kontseptsiia derzhavnoi enerhetychnoi polityky Ukrainy na period do 2020 roku), and the main directions of re-

forms in the energy sector have been included in the Energy Strategy of Ukraine to 2035 (Kontseptsiia Enerhetychnoi stratehii Ukrainy na period do 2030 roku (proekt), 2014).
Notable specialists in studying the fuel and energy sphere are V. H. Burlaka, H. H. Burlaka, V. O. Vershynina, O. Vlasiuk, V. S. Kudlai, L. S. Seliver-stova, Z. K. Sidnieva, O. M. Riabchyn, I. Chukaeva, A. K. Shydlovsky, R. V. Sherstiuk, Y. V. Yaskovets and others.
The objective of the study was determining modern tendencies in development of the main spheres of the fuel-energy complex in Lviv Oblast.
Main material. The fuel and energy complex of Lviv Oblast is a component of the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine. Peculiarities of structural organization of the FEC in the Oblast are determined by the presence of two elements: fuel, which is the main, and the energy, which performs service functions in provision and distribution of energy. The structure of the FEC forms on the basis of its own fuel and energy resources (oil, free gas, associated gas, condensate, bituminous coal, methane of coal deposits, peat) which accounts for 37.8% of the entire mineral-raw material base of the Oblast.
Among the peculiarities of the FEC of Lviv Oblast we should distinguish the following: large share of extraction of coal in mines; insignificant scales of peat extraction; absence of major electric power stations and high percentage of incoming electric energy; impossibility of development of hydroenergetics; insignificant use of oil products imported to the Oblast.
Currently, energy balance in the Oblast forms on the basis of gas, bituminous coal, firewood for heating, peat and electric energy (Table 1). In Ukraine, share of Lviv Oblast in extraction of coal accounts for 2.6% of coal, 6.2% of raw oil, 3.4% of
natural gas. If for the first two types of fuel resources, an increase in the share is observed, the share of gas is seen to decrease.
The Oblast is self-sufficient in terms of peat, coal and firewood for heating. Its own extraction of gas and generation of electric energy fulfill 40% of needs in gas and 46% in electricity.
Within Lviv Oblast, the Chervonohrad coal-industrial region (Zabuzke, Mezhyrichia, Busk deposits) and South-Western coal-bearing area (Tiahliv and Liubelia deposits) of the Lviv-Volyn bituminous coal basin are located.
The Chervonohrad coal-industrial district

concentrates around 80% of all balance reserves of coal, most operating mines and almost all coal fields prepared for further industrial development. Maximum coal-bearing is in the south part of the district in the Velykomostivska group of mines.
Currently, in the territory of the Oblast, six mines operate. Balance reserves of coal in the operating mines equals around 164 M T. Most of them are

situated in the Stepova, Chervonohradska and Lisova mines, and the largest determined industrial capacities are located in the Stepova and Chervonohradska mines (Table 2).
An important factor of increase in the extraction of coal is combining maximum extraction of coal reserves and protection of deposits. For reducing waste of coal during extraction, which can reach 2040%, new highly efficient technologies of processing should be introduced. Also, a promising aspect is involvement of deep horizons.
The resource base of the coal basin allows creation of a powerful FEC which can provide the region with energy resources, and also contribute to the development of the economy of the entire country. A promising area is South-West district with coal-bearing areas with discovered reserves of over 1,000 M T within its limits. Coal within this district is of highest quality, lowest ash and sulfur content and best property for enrichment. Also, within the Cher-vonohradsk geologic-industrial district, areas were prospected for constructing mines, reserves in which account for almost 200 M T. Furthermore, there is a possibility of extracting up to 500 b m3 of coal-mine methane (Ofitsiinyi veb-portal Enerhetyka Ukrainy. Statystyka).
Prospects for further development of the Lviv-Volyn bituminous coal basin are related to presence of methane in the coal seams and coal-bearing rocks, as an additional fossil fuel. By component composition of gases within the basin, three gas zones are distinguished: methane-nitrogen (depth to
400 m), nitrogen-methane (400-500 m) and methane (below 500 m). Total resources of methane in the mines are estimated to be 10 b m3. Degassing works are performed in three mines. Extraction of coalbed methane requires conducting significant scientific studies, introduction of efficient technologies for survey and extraction from coal deposits.
Deposits of brown coal in Lviv Oblast are related
to Neogene deposits. Five brown coal deposits have been explored - Rava-Ruske, Nesterivske (Zhovtnivske), Maherivske, Zolochivske and Yasenivske.
However, it should be noted that the technical equipment of enterprises in the region is outdated, by its technical and economical parameters it is quite inferior to the level of countries abroad and requires complete modernization. Technical re-equipment of the operating mines and construction of new ones in a short period would allow doubling of coal extraction in Lviv-Volyn basin, which can completely fulfill the needs in FEC in the Western region (Lvivsko-Volynskyi kamianovuhilnyi basin).
Lviv Oblast is one of nine regions in Ukraine, in which oil is extracted. Oil in the territory of the Oblast was found in 20 deposits with extractable industrial deposits of 216.4 M T, though it is extracted only in ten.
The structure of oil reserves in the deposits of Lviv Oblast is demonstrated in Table 3.
In terms of reserves, the biggest deposits are Boryslavske, Stynavske, Orliv-Ulychnianske, Orhov-ske, Semyhynivske and Starosambivske. 70-75%, of oil reserves in the region have been used though potential resources in the region exist, of which only 30% are developed.
The main pipelines runs across the territory of the Oblast. Thus, from the north-east to the south west, the Oblast is crossed by the Druzhba pipeline which provides oil to Europe. The Odesa-Brody pipeline is not operated at full capacity.

By gas reserves Lviv Oblast is on the third position after Poltava and Kharkiv Oblasts. The main potential of Lviv Oblast was used in the 1950-60s. However, in the territory of the region, non-explored gas deposits remain, making the Oblast promising for development of gas extraction. Particularly, its territory has 64 deposits of natural gas, 37 of which are being developed. The extractive deposits account for 73.1 b m3. The territory of the Oblast is crossed by gas pipelines, the network of which is quite ramified and covers five gas-compressor and dozens of gas-dividing stations.
In 2018, in Lviv Oblast, two new deposits of natural gas were discovered - in Drohobych and Zhydachiv district. Predicted reserves of each of these deposits equal around 1 b m3.
Gas-like fuel-energy fossil fuels include free gases and methane in gas deposits. In the territory of the Oblast, there are 36 deposits of free gas, extracted deposits of which account for 114.7 b m3, which is 8.4% of the total reserves in Ukraine. Out of them, three deposits, Haiivske, Bilche-Volynske, Hidnovytske, are the largest by the amounts of gas extraction (almost 5% of all Ukrainian reserves). In total, in the Oblast, 33 deposits of methane are being exploited. For the five deposits, industrial reserves of ethane, propane and butane are estimated. They are extracted in the Boryslavske and Zavadivske deposits.
The territory of the Oblast has 47 potential oil-gas objects which are prepared for deep boring, in which potential resources of free gas are estimated at 37.527 b m3, and oil - 20.825 b t.
Over the recent years, the oil and gas industries in the Oblast have provided stable extraction, supply and transport of hydrocarbons both for export and to domestic consumers. During 2018, 11 new wells were put into operation. In addition, the natural decrease in extraction of gas in exhausted deposits which have been operated since the last century has been stopped.
Gas condensate is represented by nine deposits with reserves of 724 thou t. The largest deposits are Ivanykivske, Zaluzhanske and Haivske.
In the territory of Lviv Oblast the deposits of oil shales have been explored. By qualitative parameters, conditions of bedding and reserves, the
following deposits have been distinguished ; Verhnie Synievydne, Boryslav, Shidnytsia. In the process of semi-cocking, out of them crude shale oil, aqueous distillate and fuel gas can be obtained. Artificial fuel obtained from oil shales is economically profitable during high oil prices.
Peat resources in Lviv Oblast have significant energy and agrotechnical potential. Peat can be used as a municipal-domestic local fuel and can be a source of raw material for other branches of th national economy.
In the territory of the Oblast, 74 deposits of peat are located, among which five are being periodically developed. By area, the largest industrial peat deposits are Stoianivske (4,138 ha), Solokiiske (3,881 ha), Ra-dehivske (1,646 ha), Polonychna (1,566 ha) Lvivske (2,226 ha), Leshnivske (2,816 ha), Smilnenske (2,036 ha). Maximum thickness of peat deposits ranges 2.311.0 m, average thickness - 1.15 to 4.37 m. Today, peat is extracted only in the Lopatynske and Stoia-nivske deposits for the needs of peat briquette plants.
General energy potential of peat in Lviv Oblast equals 690.6 M of MWh. According to this parameter, the region is inferior to such Oblasts as Kyiv, Rivne, Volyn, and Chernihiv, though it significantly exceeds the energy potential of the rest of the oblasts (Table 4).
Peat fuel granules, briquettes, and also sod peat can be used as solid fuel in industrial enterprises, for gas generators, heat-only boiling stations at plants, railway transport. Complex use of peat simultaneously for the needs of agriculture and industry is conditioned by large variety of its types even within one deposit (Atlas enerhetychnoho potentsialu vidnovliuvanykh ta netradytsiinykh dzherel enerhii Ukrainy, 2001). In perspective, peat can be used as fuel for thermal power stations, currently it is used as municipal-domestic fuel and as organic fuel for agriculture. On its basis soils are used for seedlings of vegetables, slabs and blocks for thermal and sound insulation are pressed to be used in construction.
Electric energy in the Oblast is powered by the Dobrotiv Thermal Electric Power Station, which generates half of the electric energy the Oblast requires, Novoshychi and Yavora Hydroelectric Power

Stations. Also, combined heat and power plant Lviv CHP-1 and Lviv CHP North, Novoiavorivsk CHP operate.
Production of electric energy provides around 25% of the total volume of the realized industrial production of the Oblast. The dynamics of the production of electric energy in the Oblast, represented in Fig. 1, up to 2017, indicate a tendency towards increase, though over the last year its production fell by 10%.
Analysis of the structure of consumption of fuel and energy resources in 2019 by types of organic fuel shows that the share of natural gas accounts for 56%, oil and oil products - 21.4%, coal - 19%, other types of fuel - 3.6% (including firewood for heating 1%) (Fig. 2).
Over the recent period, consumption of firewood has increased due to the rise in prices of energy providers. Firewood is used for heating homes,

especially in rural areas. As fuel, wastes of the logging, sawing and wood-working spheres are used. The largest amount of fuel-energy resources is used by the local population, and the most power-consuming spheres are economic activities involved in generation and distribution of electric energy, gas, water, and also spheres of processing industries and transport and communication.
In general, in the region, a certain pattern in consumption of the main types of energy sources is seen:
coal, natural gas and firewood for heating are used the most by industrial enterprises, institutions of state management and defense; at the same time, gasoline and diesel fuel are consumed mostly by transport, communication services, in agriculture and forestry (Fig. 3). (Ofitsiinyi sait Holovnoho upravlinnia statystyky u Lvivskii oblasti).
By amount of use of electric resources, the leaders are city of Lviv (43.2 %) and Kamianko-Byzky district (23.5 %). A high amount of consumption of
Fig. 3. Structure of amounts of consumption of fuel-energy resources in Lviv Oblast Source: Ofitsiinyi sait Holovnoho upravlinnia statystyky u Lvivskii oblasti
resources is seen also in Radekhiv, Sokal, Yavoriv, Mykolaiv districts, and also in the cities Novyi Roz-dil, Drohobych and Chervonohrad (4.5 %, 3.1 % 2.8 % 2.3 %, 3.2 %, 2.6 % and 2.1 % respectively).
The territorial peculiarities of consumption of different types of fuel-energy resources in Lviv Oblast should also be mentioned. Particularly, bituminous coal is used the most by enterprises and organizations in Kamianka-Buzka, Mykolaiv, Sokal, Zhydachiv administrative districts, and the city of Chervonohrad. Natural gas is used the most in the cities Lviv and Novyi Rozdil, and also Radekhiv and Yavoriv districts.
A characteristic feature of the modern energy industry is development of technologies on the basis of non-traditional and renewable sources of energy, the use of which contributes to solving problems of effective provision of energy, and also problems of an ecological, economic and social character in Ukraine and its regions.
Today, Lviv Oblast is considered one of the most active regions of Ukraine in terms of development and introduction of alternative energy. According to the results of the assessment of energetic potential of renewable resources of energy, the Oblast has a suf-
Table 5. Structure of potential of renewable in Lviv Oblast
dicator in Ukraine, which is the highest among the Oblasts of the Carpathian Region. The structure of theoretically achievable energetic potential of renew-ables in the Oblast equals 299.4 thou T of f.e./year (Table 5).
The energy of biomass is understood as wastes of forestry and agricultural plants, energetic plants (maybe better energy crops), and the environmental energy - geothermal energy and energy of drainage water.
Lviv Oblast is second in Ukraine in the number of small mountain rivers and the possibility of constructing hydroelectric stations on them. Their potential is estimated in 500 M kWh per a year, that is 10% of all consumption of electric energy in the Oblast. The main share of the energy belongs to the rivers Dnister, Stryi, Opir and their tributaries. Small hydroelectric stations could become an important source of providing energy in the Oblast, especially in its mountain regions, to which the largest share of the energy potential of the small rivers belongs.
For the development of the biomass in Lviv Oblast, there is significant resource potential in wastes from wood, agriculture, and also free areas of land for planting energy plants, particularly energetic willow,

ficient natural potential of renewable sources for production of thermal and electric energy in industrial amounts (Syrotiuk, 2014).
Taking into account the rather high parameters of potential of energy of wind, small rivers and biomass in the Oblast, there is a possibility of replacing organic fuel with energy from renewable sources practically by 50%, and some districts, in perspective, can become energy-independent due to local renew-ables (Netradytsiini ta vidnovliuvani dzherela enerhii v Ukraini u svitli novykh yevropeiskykh initsiatyv, 2013).
Total technically achievable potential of renew-ables in Lviv Oblast accounts for 4.27 M T of fuel equivalent (f.e.)/year, measuring 4.3% of the total in-
energetic poplar, silvergrass, etc.
The amount of forest wood wastes which can be used for energetic purposes equals around 30-40% of the amounts of lumbering. The largest amount of sawdust and firewood is provided by Drohobych, Zhovkinsky, Skole, Staryi Sambir, Turka districts. Wood wastes are supplied to special enterprises which produce pellets in industrial amounts, though they can be processed directly on the spot.
Among the wastes of agriculture, initial wastes are distinguished - those which remain in the fields as byproducts after harvest of initial agricultural crops. They include straw of cereals and rapeseed, stems of sunflower and maize. Secondary wastes include beet pulp of sugar beet, shells of sunflower, nut shell
and other types of biomass of similar type, manure - organic substance used as organic fertilizer in agriculture. Wastes of livestock, manure, can be used as organic substance in agriculture.
Initial wastes of agriculture are potentially important for those administrative districts of Lviv Oblast, which have large areas with cereal crops -Sokal, Zolochiv, Zhydachiv, Radekhiv and Brody. Secondary wastes of agriculture are most often concentrated in processing enterprises, where it is practical to use them for their own energetic needs.
The energy potential of biomass from wastes of livestock in the Oblast is estimated as high and economically practical for use, though it is closely associated with number of animals. Highest populations of cattle are located in Brody, Zhydachiv, Sokal and Sambir districts, of swine - in Stryisky, Busk, Sambir and Sokal, poultry - Pustomyty, Sambir and Zhydachiv. On average, around 665 M m3 of biogas a year can be produced from livestock biomass, allowing replacement of almost 600 thou of conventional fuel.
If considering the existing structure, over half of it is the capacities of wind energy, less significant are the capacities of bioenergy and solar energy (Fig. 4).
tant complex of solar electric stations in the territory of Western Ukraine.
Potential of geothermal energy of Lviv Oblast equals around 7.0% f the total parameter in Ukraine. Particularly, in Yavoriv and Mostyska district, the deposit of geothermal water of 95-130 °C temperature has been explored; the water is embedded at the depth of 3 km, creating favourable conditions for building a combined heat and power plant. Also, abandoned oil, gas and oil-gas wells could be used as sources of geothermal energy.
As for wind energy, the highland territories of Yavoriv, Mostyska and Zolochiv districts are considered promising. The promising plans for Lviv Oblast include construction of wind energy stations of general power of 400MWT. Electric stations Stary Sam-bir-2 and Sokalsky Wind Park are planned to be put into operation.
Also, in Lviv Oblast, energy of the environment can be used. It can be used in two ways. The first is related to the extraction of energy from natural flow of thermal groundwater to the Earths surface or from corresponding geothermal wells. For this purpose, for extracting energy, special geothermal stations should be built for use of thermal energy by consum-

Over the last few years, all these branches showed notable increase and increase is predicted again in the next years.
Despite the fact that the territory of Lviv Oblast, compared to other regions of Ukraine, has a small level of energy of solar flow, use of solar energy in the region has been started and further development is planned. Particularly, in 2017, four solar electric power stations were put into operation: Ozerna, Bo-ryslavska Solar Electric Station, Energetic fields of Solar Power Stations Ternovytsia 2 and 4, Leo-Solar-Energy, and in 2018 in Yavoriv District, the first stage of development of the solar energy station Yavoriv-1 was opened, which is a component of the most impor-
ers in close proximity to geothermal sources. Today, in the Oblast, there are no conditions for development of thermal groundwater, therefore their energetic resource is not currently being considered (Kudlai, V., Seliverstova, L., 2013.).
The other way is related to use of thermal pumps for air-surface or well extraction of energy from soil and atmosphere. Thermal pumps are mostly used for heating individual buildings, hotels, kindergartens, etc. Particularly, in the cities of Drohobych and Rava-Ruska, geothermal thermal pumps have been installed for heating kindergartens, reducing costs of heating and supply of hot water by three times.
Despite its considerable natural potential, in Lviv
Oblast, renewable energy is being developed at low tempi and the share of the used potential of renewables is insignificant. Therefore, 5.0% energy of biomass, 2.1% of sun, 1.1% of wind energy, 0.5 of energy of small rivers, and less than 0.1% of geothermal energy are used.
Conclusions. In the territory of Lviv Oblast, deposits of practically all types of oil-energy and fossil fuels are located - bituminous coal, natural gas, oil, peat. Reserves of coal in mines in operation account for around 170 MT. Furthermore, promising objects are the South-West and Chervonohrad geological-industrial districts, within which, areas for constructing mines were found with significant deposits. Also, scientific developments have confirmed the presence of large deposits of oil and natural gas at great depths.
In general, subsurface of the Oblast is sufficient for balanced development of industry and agriculture and can fulfill the needs of the Oblast for mineral raw materials. However, there is a number of disadvantages which significantly reduce the efficiency of use of the subsurface, failing to provide the protection required, causing discrepancies between the use of subsurface and protection of the natural environment.
Also, Lviv Oblast has a high natural potential in renewable sources of energy. In particular, the region has significant perspectives for industrial development of bioenergetics, wind and hydroenergy. Wind-energy potential first of all can be practically exploited in highland areas for the potential of these areas is one of the highest in Ukraine. A significantly promising sphere is bioenergetics, because total energy potential of biomass in the Oblast is over two times higher than the amounts of consumption of natural gas. For contributing to the development of bioenergy, enterprises for processing wood and organic wastes should be created. The region has significant potential for growing energy plants (willow, poplar, silvergrass) and their use for production of fuel. The region has high potential for small hydroenergy plants. However, for construction of new electric stations, not only should the features of rivers and surrounding territory be taken into account, but also new technologies for preserving species diversity and populations of river fish must be used.
Renewable energy can become one of the main directions of economical development of Lviv Oblast. Particularly the development of renewable energy in the region must be based on strategic planning with consideration of the total of factors of regional and local level.
