Ukraine is pushing ahead with biomethane development despite the ongoing war. Two new projects totaling over 43 million euros have been announced. Vitagro Energy will invest 30.7 million euros in three plants in western Ukraine, producing 3 million cubic meters of biomethane per year from livestock manure, plus 66,000 tonnes of organic fertilizer and 0.4 MW of electricity for self consumption. KG Group plans a 13.4 million euro plant in the Poltava region using agricultural waste. Ukraine currently has seven operational biomethane plants with a combined capacity of 111 million cubic meters per year. The government targets 1 billion cubic meters annually by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2035. The IEA estimates Ukraine's biomethane potential at 11.6 billion cubic meters per year using only agricultural residues, the highest in Europe. The country's pipeline network connecting to European markets gives it a strategic export advantage.
