The insights from Georgii Geletukha, Head of the Board at  “Bioenergy Association of Ukraine” (UABio), featured in a recent interview with S&P Global Commodity Insights.

He detailed Ukraine's ambitious plans to scale up biomethane production and exports, a key step in diversifying energy sources and integrating into the EU's energy market.

Key takeaways:

  • Rapid Growth in Biomethane Production: Ukraine aims to produce 10 bcm of biomethane annually by leveraging its agricultural resources. This positions Ukraine as a major supplier for the EU, aligning with the bloc's decarbonization goals.
  • Integration into EU Energy Markets: Plans are underway to synchronize Ukraine’s biomethane registry with the Union Database.
  • Strategic Infrastructure Developments: Simplifying grid connections is crucial to facilitate cross-border biomethane flows, supporting both Ukraine’s energy independence and its role in the European market. Ukraine’s commitment to sustainable energy aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints. We at UABIO remain dedicated to advancing the bioenergy sector and driving Ukraine’s energy transformation.
