- 28 stations designed for biogas production from agricultural raw materials;
- 27 stations operate on biogas from landfills;
- 9 stations biogas is produced in a process of anaerobic treatment of industrial wastewater, all the rest from the sediment of domestic wastewater;
- 3 stations designed for generator gas production (classified as biogas stations)
- 50 installations have a "green" tariff for electricity, including:
- 20 installations on agricultural raw materials;
- 27 biogas plants from landfills;
- 3 generator gas installations.
- Total installed electric capacity of biogas cogeneration units was about 105 MW, of which: 103,364 MW operate at a "green" tariff.
- The total production of electricity in 2020 by biogas plants, for which a "green" tariff has been set, amounted to about 471.5 million kWh. Total use of biogas by all stations for energy production in 2020 was more than 230 million m3.
- Total consumption of agricultural raw materials for biogas production was about 1.8 million tons (fresh weight). Total volume of the formed digestate was about 78 thousand tons (dry matter).
