Ukraine has a real opportunity to completely abandon gas imports through developing its own production, including of biogas, Serhiy Makogon, CEO of Gas Transmission System Operator Ukraine of Ukraine LLC (Gas TSO of Ukraine), has said on Facebook.
“Ukraine has a very large potential for biogas production – up to 8 billion cubic meters of biogas per year. This is a very ambitious goal for the next 10 years. But 0.5 billion cubic meters of biogas in two years is quite real,” he said.
“Ukraine has a real opportunity to completely abandon gas imports through the development of its own gas production and biogas production,” he wrote.
As an example, Makogon cited Denmark, where 27% of the gas in the networks was biomethane (biogas brought to methane quality) and in the last five to six months there was a steady growth. Denmark expects to have a 100% “green” gas system in 2030-2035. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
