At the moment, exports to the EU are Ukraine&#8217;s only option for selling its biomethane, as it has to compete equally with natural gas in the domestic market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It means that for Ukraine, fostering biomethane export offers a strategic pathway to strengthening its economy, diversifying its energy markets, and contributing to regional energy independence. Developing the local market, whose potential will long exceed the capacity of biomethane producers, is a top priority. Clearly, this goal can only be achieved after the end of the war with the russian federation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine is one of the project\u2019s strategic partners and a demonstration site. 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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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. The biogas plant of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mhp.com.ua\/en\/eko-enerdzi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MHP Eco Energy<\/a>&nbsp;has an installed electrical capacity of 12 MW, produces biogas from 330 t\/d of chicken manure and other agricultural waste, producing 85,000,000 kWh of electricity per year.
