Our New Report: Untapped Potentials: First Steps of the Ukrainian Biomethane Industry

Europe’s accelerated decarbonisation of the gas sector opens a unique window of opportunity for Ukraine.

With a developed gas transmission system, large storage facilities, and abundant agricultural resources, Ukraine can become a key supplier of sustainable biomethane to the EU.

🔹 Today – only a few operational plants and the first pilot exports to Europe.

🔹 By 2030 – potential to export 0.5–1 bcm of biomethane annually.

🔹 By 2050 – production could reach up to 20 bcm, covering ~20% of the EU’s current biomethane demand.

Why it matters:

 • EU energy security: replacing Russian gas with Ukrainian biomethane.

 • Economic boost for Ukraine: investments, job creation, and agricultural sector development.

 • Environmental benefits: cutting GHG emissions and advancing the circular economy.

Key industry drivers include agricultural companies monetising waste and energy players integrating new technologies. One promising segment is Bio-LNG for transportation, which is already being exported to Germany.

To fully unlock this potential, Ukraine needs to:

 • harmonise regulations with the EU (RED II/III, Guarantees of Origin, PoS certification);

 • develop connection and storage infrastructure;

 • attract investment in production and logistics.

📌 Biomethane is not just green energy — it’s Ukraine’s next strategic export resource.
