The resource and energy potential of crop biomass forms significant reserves for the economy. There are 42.3% oil, 37.4% meal, 18% husk and 0.7% sunflower oil sludge from 1 ton of sunflower. Currently, scientists are paying a lot of attention to biomass processing and improving ecology. Phosphatide concentrate and lycetin are obtained from sunflower oil sludge. Husk is a source of energy, and its energy value is 18 MJ/t. The purpose of this study is to assess the bioenergy and investment potential in agriculture. In particular, on the example of sunflower, the reserves for increasing the efficiency of electricity production. In particular, the energy cost equivalents of sunflower husk replacement of energy costs in production were estimated. The legal, organizational, and economic foundations of activities related to the prevention or reduction of waste generation have been studied. The substantiation of the necessity of including organic waste in the cycle of substances in the system “soil–plant–person” is confirmed. The need for funds for the modernization of the industry was estimated
