Georgii Geletukha about the draft Law №5464 on support of biomethane production and consumption
Head of the Board of the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine (UABIO) Georgii Geletukha shared his professional opinion about the main advantages of the draft law №5464 on a Platform for renewable energy investments “GetMarket”.
It is important that this draft law does not provide:
- Preferences;
- Additional budget funds;
- High tariffs.
It will be bought by commercial European or Ukrainian companies. Some UABIO members are already interested in the production of it. In addition, there is a demand for biomethane in Europe. The introduction of an additional carbon tax from 2023 is an important reason for developing CO2 production.
UABIO forecast — the adoption of this draft law is enough to start the development of the biomethane market in Ukraine.
