Introduction. Sustainable economic development of rural territories, especially remote areas development, is one of the priorities in government management in many countries in the world. The basis of sustainable development is the renewable energy. The paper looks at the relevant issues related to the rural areas' development under government policy in the field of sustainable development and bioenergy. The study investigates the issue through the case study of Russia. The paper looks at the relevant issues related to the rural areas' development under the alternative energy and bioenergy. The study presents an overview of scientific research in government policy instruments for bioenergy under in the frame of sustainable development and economic aspects. The most relevant issue for the rural territories - the implementation of small energy generation based on biofuel - should be dealt with comprehensively and viewed from economic to socio-environmental prospective. The role of government is to provide government support for such projects at the state level. Aims. The main aim of this article is to investigate the theoretical base of the government policy in the field of government support of bioenergy. Also the article looks at how the problem of energy supply for remote rural areas in Russia can be settled successfully by developing the network of small bioenergy plants, which are quickly growing in rural forested areas. Bioenergy development in the rural territories also will allow starting new high-tech production in remote and northern regions, providing them with an autonomous energy sources. The methods of theoretical research (systems analysis, abstraction and concretization, idealization, etc.), as well as the methods of empirical research (method of expert assessment, comparison, analogy, and generalization) are applied in the study. Results. Theoretical and practical solution of the research task will allow to complete and develop the domestic and world scientific knowledge in the field of alternative ecologically safe energy, to promote the development of mono-economy regions and to stimulate economic development and growth of the bioenergy capacity in the largest forested regions of Russia (with the possible establishment of export-oriented industries). The results that will be obtained during the project implementation are of high scientific and practical value for popularization of the green economy concept based on renewable energy, for its development in Russia and in countries with similar economic and climatic conditions, such as Canada, Finland, Norway, Switzerland and others. Conclusion. The research shows how the usage of local fuel solves the problem of providing electricity and heating to the remote settlements regardless of their remoteness and availability of transportation routes. Besides, the implementation of a small boiler operating on wood chips will help to create employment of local population, which has a very positive social impact. Creating boiler systems based on bioenergy generated with woodchip in municipalities will reduce the transportation costs of electricity and heating.
