Due to the reduction in the number of animals, organic fertilizer, humus, is practically not introduced into Ukrainian soils.

If in 1990, fermented biomass, which is formed as a result of biogas production, can be successfully used as organic fertilizers, says Georgy Geletukha, chairman of the board of the GS “Bioenergy Association of Ukraine”.

“Ukrainian soils are practically free of organic fertilizers. Meanwhile, fermented biomass can be used as biofertilizer. Anaerobic digestion is one of the most rational ways of processing organics into organic fertilizers, ”said the specialist.

Biomethane is the future of biogas. Biomethane production in European countries is constantly growing. Ukraine has high resources for the production of biomethane - 7.8 billion cubic meters of biomethane - this volume can replace 25% of natural gas consumption. The cost of production is 340-570 euros / 1 thousand m3.

Biomethane can compete with diesel, gasoline, but not with natural gas in the network, with liquefied biogas in the network. “We need to introduce a green tariff for biomethane along with biogas - this will be a sufficient impetus for the construction of biomethane plants,” said Georgy Geletukha.
