Abstract: Based on the analysis conducted on the state of theory and practice, the expediency of assessing the relationships between the functional indicators of bioenergy production systems using the organic waste of residential areas is substantiated in the projects of the European Green Deal. It is based on the use of existing results published in scientific works, as well as on the use of methods of system analysis and mathematical modeling. The proposed approach avoids limitations associated with the one-sidedness of sources or subjectivity of data and also ensures complete consideration of various factors affecting the functional indicators of the bioenergy production system from the organic waste of residential areas. Four types of organic waste generated within the territory of residential areas are considered. In our work, we used passive experimental methods to collect data on the functional characteristics of bioenergy production systems, mathematical statistics methods to process and interpret trends in the functional characteristics of bioenergy production systems using municipal organic waste, and mathematical modeling methods to develop mathematical models that reflect the patterns of change in the functional characteristics of bioenergy production systems. The results indicate the presence of dependencies with close correlations. The resulting dependencies can be used to optimize processes and increase the efficiency of bioenergy production. It was found that: (1) yard waste has the highest volume of the total volume of solid organic substances but has a low yield of biogas and low share of methane production; (2) food waste has the highest yield of biogas and, accordingly, the highest share of methane production; (3) mixed organic waste has the lowest volume of the total volume of solid organic substances and the lowest content of volatile organic substances. The amount of electricity and thermal energy production varies by type of organic waste, with mixed organic waste having a higher average amount of electricity production compared to other types of waste. It was established that the production volume of the solid fraction (biofertilizer) is also different for different types of organic waste. Less solid fraction is produced from food waste than from yard waste. The obtained research results are of practical importance for the development of sustainable bioenergy production from organic waste in residential areas during the implementation of the European Green Deal projects. They provide further research on the development of effective models for determining the rational configuration of bioenergy production systems using organic waste for given characteristics of residential areas.
