The economic efficiency of biodiesel production has been analyzed. It is established that the cost of production of biodiesel depends on the yield of oilseeds, their clogging and humidity. With the increase in the clogging and humidity of oilseeds, the cost of biodiesel production increases sharply as a result of increased costs for the purification and drying of raw materials. The purpose of our study is to establish the economic efficiency of production and use of biodiesel in a model farm on 1500 hectares of arable land. The economic efficiency of production and use of biodiesel in a model farm on 1500 hectares of arable land was conducted for the use of mixed diesel biofuels B5, B20 and B100. The need for economy in diesel fuel was determined, the amount of biodiesel required for replacement of 5%, 20% and 100% of petroleum diesel for biodiesel in mixed biofuel was established. The cost of biodiesel production was established and cost savings from replacing the corresponding amount of petroleum diesel with biodiesel. It is established that the annual savings from the replacement of part of petroleum diesel fuel for biodiesel for diesel biofuels В100 - 4604440 UAH, for mixed diesel biofuels В20 - 879518 UAH., for mixed diesel biofuel В5 - 247719 UAH., and for the annual savings of diesel diesel fuel for biodiesel in terms of 1 ha of arable land is for diesel biofuels B100 - 19027 UAH / hectares, for mixed diesel biofuels B20 - 18323 UAH / hectares, for mixed diesel biofuels B5 - 20643 UAH / hectares. Therefore, the use of 1 ha of arable land gives the greatest economic effect in the production and use of blended diesel biofuel B5.
