Ten corporations presented the Ukrainian Gas Transportation System Operator with an offer to construct more than thirty biomethane plants. Sydorov writes about this, referring to the company’s Facebook page.
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy believes that the development of the biomethane industry will make it possible to abandon the import of gas, which will contribute to the country’s energy security and ensure energy decentralization.
And it will solve three problems at once:
- reducing CO2 emissions,
- disposal of bio-waste,
- a significant reduction in the price of energy.
It is noted that the Gas Transportation System Operator of Ukraine has been systematically working with the government, the Verkhovna Rada [the Ukrainian parliament – ed.], businesses, and potential investors regarding biomethane projects for several years in a row.
“The company takes this sector into account in the development of the Gas Transportation System Operator plans and is already ready to provide biomethane transportation services,” the message emphasizes.
So far, more than ten companies have applied to the Gas Transportation System Operator of Ukraine.
They are considering the construction of the 31st biomethane plant with a capacity of 225 million cubic meters. m per year.
The agency added that successfully positioning Ukrainian biomethane on EU markets requires a detailed and balanced approach. Its purpose is to develop mechanisms for cross-border trade in biomethane, in particular, removing barriers to the sale of biomethane transported by the gas transportation system in EU countries.
“In addition, for the development of the industry, it is necessary to create additional financial instruments for cross-border lending, which can be used, in particular, to fully or partially cover the manufacturer’s costs for connecting to networks,” Dmytro Lippa, General Director of the Gas Transportation System Operator of Ukraine, added.
