The study also underscores the importance of a holistic assessment of energy recovery pathways to maximize net energy gain and minimize life-cycle emissions. The findings from this study have several implications for policy and practice. Policymakers should consider creating supportive frameworks and incentives to promote the use of agricultural waste for energy production. This includes implementing competitive conditions for renewable energy production, as seen in Ukraine, and integrating GHG taxes or life cycle emissions-based performance standards to optimize biomass resource utilization. Additionally, there is a need for comprehensive management strategies that address the entire supply chain of agricultural waste, from collection to conversion, to ensure efficient and sustainable energy production. The transition to renewable energy from agricultural waste also requires investment in technology and infrastructure to support biogas plants and other conversion facilities. The transition from traditional waste management to energy production using agricultural waste represents a significant step towards achieving energy sustainability and reducing environmental impact. The studyed literature demonstrates that agricultural waste is not merely a disposal problem but a valuable resource for renewable energy generation. By adopting integrated and systemic approaches to waste valorization, it is possible to create a circular bioeconomy that not only addresses waste management challenges but also contributes to energy security and climate change mitigation. The successful implementation of such strategies requires coordinated efforts from governments, industry stakeholders, and the scientific community to develop and deploy effective technologies and policies that support the sustainable use of agricultural waste for energy production.
