The present paper examines the legal problems of bioenergy development as a driver of “green” energy transformation of Ukraine in the war and post-war periods. The peculiarities of direct and indirect impact of hostilities on bioenergy are determined. On the one hand, in short and medium term, there will be a limitation of the potential of bioenergy industry due to the expansion of the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, damage to bioenergy facilities, destruction of biomass and other factors. On the other hand, the energy crisis is pushing for a faster transition to the use of the low-carbon energy technologies and for increase in energy security. It is demonstrated that there is significant progress in the legal regulation of biomethane production and use. For the creation of a biomethane market, it is particularly important to regulate the functioning of the biomethane registry. At the same time, the weak point of Ukraine’s bioenergy strategy and legislation is the lack of sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels, which are provided for in EU law.
