The development of biomethane production is the result of political will and reliable, long-lasting financial support mechanisms and investment subsidies, as biomethane cannot compete with natural gas in today’s market conditions. Many European countries have…
Electricity produced from biomethane can already today be supplied to the grid at a “green” tariff of 0.1239 €/kWh (excluding VAT). However, the idea of enriching biogas to biomethane is precisely the possibility of pumping…
What is the potential of agro biomass, and what hinders the development of relevant projects in Ukraine? What agricultural biomass energy projects can be implemented now? What is the volume of investments and payback period…
The basic economic prerequisite for the development of the biomethane market is the increased price of fossil fuels, which is formed by additional environmental taxes and excise taxes on fossil fuels. Comparing the prices of…
The cost of commercial biomethane has three main components, namely: a) the cost of biogas; b) the cost of enrichment of biogas to biomethane; c) the cost of logistics of produced biomethane. The biomethane project…
In early July, Naftogaz called for a full stop to transit natural gas through Ukraine in 2020. Such a stop poses risks to the supply of gas to consumers in the next heating season and…
For Ukraine, taking into account technological feasibility, availability and volumes, the most suitable raw materials for biogas production are pig manure, cattle manure, poultry litter, residues of agricultural enterprises, sugar beet pulp, vegetable residues of main crops,…
In June, the Government of Ukraine set boundary tariffs for heat for the population for the heating season of 2019-2020, arguing that it was necessary to end the tyranny of local “communal barons”, which force…
The market presents a lot of modern gas engines for cars, heavy vehicles, ships and trains that can work on biomethane. Most car manufacturers offer models that operate on compressed methane. There is also the…
According to the forecast of the European Biogas Association, the production of biomethane in Europe in 2020 will be 26% of the total biogas production (6.5 billion m³ biomethane). In 2030, the share of biomethane…
