LFG-Energy Projects in Ukraine


Biomethane/biogas production

preconditions in Ukraine • High energy intensity of the economy of Ukraine in comparison with world figures.

Unreasonably large consumption of natural gas, including the needs of industrial

enterprises.

• Critical Ukraine's dependence on gas supplies from unstable foreign markets, including

Russia.

• High and volatile natural gas prices, upward trend for all categories of consumers.

• Presence of significant number of big agricultural enterprises with financial and land

potential for the development of major projects for biomethane production.

• Presence of the developed NG transport infrastructure, including both pipelines

connecting Ukraine with European countries, and local network of distribution pipelines,

providing greater part of the population of Ukraine with natural gas.

• Tradition of NG using as motor fuel for vehicles, well-developed network of vehicles gas

filling compressor stations

• Great potential for biogas production from agricultural waste (3.2 billion m3 CH4 per

year).

• Large potential of biogas/biomethane production (3.3 billion m3 CH4 per year) using

available arable fertile land for energy crops cultivation and their potentially lower cost

(compared to the production in western countries).

Conclusion (biogas)

Ukraine has significant potential for the production of biogas/biomethane. The total

potential of BG/BM from agriculture waste, MSW, municipal and industrial waste water is

estimated at 3.2 billions m3 CH4 per year. Another 3.3 billion m3 CH4 can be obtained by

growing energy maize (or other energy crops) at 1 million ha (3% of the total arable land

in Ukraine).

The development of agriculture in Ukraine, suggesting improvement of soil fertility and

crop yields, as well as the rational use of land and resources will ultimately significantly

increase the potential for energy production from biogas.

Existing potential of agricultural land in Ukraine allows to combine the production of food

and feed, including for export, with the production of energy crops and the subsequent

generation of electricity and / or thermal energy, as well as biomethane

Positive factor for the development of biogas technology is a continuation of the "green"

tariff for power production produced from solid biomass as well as the extension of the

law on biogas.

Assessment of the economic parameters of biogas energy projects with mini-CHP in the

range of 2 MWe shows that the discounted payback period of the project through the sale

of electricity using GT K=2.3 is more than 10 years


23

Conclusion (biomethane)

The production cost of BM is still relatively high, the competitiveness of BM depends on

natural gas prices at the local or export markets. Minimal cost of BM is evaluates as

about 180 €/1000 m3. Production cost of energy from BM ranges from 0.02 to 0,12 €/

kWh; The production cost of the gas motor fuel is from 3 to 10 UAH/liter.

Development of BM production needs government support. In order to stimulate of BM

production in Ukraine, it is necessary to implement a set of related measures, among

which are:

• implementation green tariff with k=3.0 (16,16 €cents/kWh excluding VAT) for electricity

with mandatory utilization of heat,

• the development of standards and specifications for the BM production,

• the guarantee of non-discrimination when pumping BM in distribution (low pressure)

and, potentially, main (high pressure) gas network.

• Specific goals for BM production and the timeline for their achievement have to be

specified on the state level.

• National registry of production and consumption of biomethane should be developed.
