The importance of replacing natural gas and production of renewable gases, primarily biomethane, increased with the russian invasion of Ukraine. As a result, on February 2, 2023, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed in Kyiv between the European Union and Ukraine on strategic partnership regarding biomethane, hydrogen and other synthetic gases. This partnership should focus on the green transition and decarbonisation of energy sectors. In particular, it should facilitate the production, trade, transportation, storage and use of biomethane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project involves the company&nbsp;<strong>MHP Eco Energy<\/strong>, on the basis of which research will be conducted, as well as the team of the&nbsp;<strong>Bioenergy Association of Ukraine<\/strong>, whose experts will accompany the project.
