What has been done?

  • During 2000-2019, the authors developed and implemented more than 5,000 biomass boilers, 6 rotary kilns on biomass, 5 TPPs / CHPs on biomass and biogas, 12 biogas collection and utilization systems at landfills.
  • 29 hot water boilers with a total capacity of 47 MW were delivered to the United Kingdom and 52 boilers with a total capacity of 91 MW were delivered to France. A significant part of boilers is also successfully exported to the Republic of Belarus and Lithuania. License for two patents of Ukraine is sold in Vietnam.
  • The total installed thermal capacity of installed equipment amounted to 2,299.8 MW.
  • A total of 4.2 billion m3 of natural gas was replaced, 8.6 million tons of CO2-eq. — reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Estimated economic effect (at the cost of thermal energy from gas 1400 UAH / Gcal and the cost of thermal energy from biomass is 10% cheaper than from gas) — 4.813 billion UAH.
  • A total of 4.2 billion m3 of natural gas was replaced, 8.6 million tons of CO2-eq. — reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
