German Expertise for Ukraine: Biogas and Biomethane Certification Trainings
On July 3 and 8, 2025, the German Biogas Association (Fachverband Biogas e.V.), within the framework of the KVProject Ukraine, organized and conducted two specialized training sessions for experts and members of the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine (UABIO). These sessions focused on the highly relevant topic of biogas and biomethane certification.
Speakers
- Christoph Tollmann, Sustainability Officer, Fachverband Biogas e.V.
- Dr. Stefan Rauh, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Fachverband Biogas e.V.
The training provided Ukrainian professionals with a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and valuable knowledge directly from leading German experts in the field of sustainable bioenergy certification.
Key Topics Covered
- Requirements of EU Directives RED II and RED III regarding sustainability criteria for biogas and biomethane production;
- Operation and requirements of the REDcert and SURE certification schemes;
- Transposition status of the RED III Directive into national legislation of EU member states;
- Specifics of the German sustainability monitoring system NABISY;
- Implementation of the European Union Database (UDB).
Why Is This Important for Ukraine?
The knowledge and materials provided during the training serve as a practical tool for Ukrainian companies seeking to adopt EU sustainability standards. It also opens new export opportunities for Ukrainian biomethane to enter EU markets, provided it complies with sustainability criteria and is certified in accordance with European legislation.
UABIO expresses its sincere gratitude to Fachverband Biogas e.V. for supporting the Ukrainian bioenergy community!
