Innovate Ukraine: Development of Business Model for Biomethane Production in Ukraine
The project will be implemented for 2 years by a consortium of UK and Ukrainian companies:
- Marriott Davies Yapp LLP (UK).
- Rika Biofuel Developments LTD (UK ).
- Regenerative Agriculture Ltd. (Ukraine).
- SEC Biomass Ltd. (Ukraine).
- Bioenergy Association of Ukraine.
Ukraine’s biogas sector has an untapped potential for biomethane, which boasts an impressive 20 billion cubic meters (bcm).
The project’s primary aim is to create a blueprint for the scalable business model of biomethane production.
The main project goals:
- Estimating biomethane production potential in Ukraine based on available and potential feedstock.
- Developing a detailed biomethane production map for potential investors.
- Development of the feasibility studies for biomethane production in Ukraine.
- Creation of the list of potential biomethane investors and provision consulting services for the capital attraction for ready-to-build (RTB) projects.
- Development of the Guidelines for the Export of Biomethane from Ukraine to the EU.
- Development of Biomethane Road Map for Ukraine including national biogas production target for 2035 and long-term national package up to 2050.
- Analysis the barriers to using biomethane in the transport sector. Draft legislation proposal for overcoming barriers to using biomethane in the transport sector.
These projects will serve as prototypes for a scalable business model aimed at revolutionizing biomethane production facilities. We’re using a comprehensive strategy to meet Ukraine’s energy needs, focusing on technological innovation, economic viability, and environmental sustainability.
Decentralised biomethane plants, with an annual generation of up to 5-10 mcm of biomethane per plant, will bolster Ukraine’s short-term resilience against energy supply disruptions. Longer-term, it lays the foundation for a cleaner, more sustainable energy mix.
