OREANDA-NEWS. March 05, 2012. Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov requires management of the Zakarpatia regional state administration to develop a program to direct waste of wood industry for the manufacture of fuels, including pellets. He said this during a lecture, "How to ensure sustainable development in Ukraine" which he gave for high school students during a working trip to Zakarpatia region.

"I talked with your head of RSA that in Zakarpatia region, where a lot of wood produces, all wood processing waste must be sent to fuel production", - Mykola Azarov said.

But he stressed that now the price of Russian gas for Ukraine is among the highest in Europe, so there is a need to focus on the use of alternative energy sources where it is possible.
