Carl Sturen, a former food processing investor and now CEO of Windcraft Ukraine said Ukraine, a major food producer should burn crop detritus for energy. “If you could burn one ton of biomass per cultivated hectare, you could replace all imported gas — 10 billion cubic meters,” the Swedish wind power executive said. He said Ukraine has been living off nuclear power plants, largely installed during the Soviet era. The real price of electricity will come in 15 years, when most nuclear plants reach the end of their useful lives.
