Ukraine has a great potential for the production of biogas, which in the future may deprive us of the need to import gas from abroad. Sergey Makogon, General Director of GTS Operator of Ukraine LLC, announced this on his Facebook page..

“Ukraine has a very large potential for biogas production - up to 8 billion m3 of biogas per year. This is a very ambitious target for the next 10 years.. But 0.5 billion m3 of biogas in 2 years is quite realistic. Ukraine has a real opportunity to completely abandon gas imports due to the development of its own gas production and biogas production,” Serhiy Makogon wrote..

Biomethane is a biogas that, in terms of its physical and technical characteristics, meets the requirements of regulatory legal acts for natural gas.

The production of biogas or, as it is also called, biomethane, according to Sergey Makogon, is able to completely cover Ukraine's demand for gas.

For example, in Denmark, according to Sergei Makogon, already 27% of the gas in the networks is biomethane, and in the last six months there has been a steady increase. Denmark expects to have a 100% green gas system in 2030-2035.
