One of the main goals of biogas energy use, as mentioned above, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions when replacing fossil fuels. This implies determination of emissions before and after biogas use. The calculation of emissions is based on a systematic approach, when the calculation is made taking into account emissions from fuel extraction, its transportation, fuel consumption for equipment manufactur-ing, etc. At the same time, the life cycle of equipment and capital facilities is consid-ered. In this regard, the development of performance indicators for the ecological use of biofuels becomes relevant from this point of view. The above-mentioned devel-opments are computer programmes with relevant databases. One of the peculiarities of using these programmes, in our opinion, is that, on the one hand, they allow for a specific calculation with maximum detail and assessment of the "integral" result. At the same time, the analysis of the interaction of various factors remains hidden, which can often lead to erroneous conclusions. This is especially true for generalised (strategic) analysis. Therefore, computational studies should be supplemented by analytical studies that allow identifying the main relationships between parameters.
