The VITAGRO Group of Companies, in collaboration with specialists from the Khmelnytsky branch of Gas Distribution Networks of Ukraine LLC, has supplied biomethane to Ukraine’s gas transmission system (GTS) for the first time.
“The team of VITAGRO ENERGY, together with specialists from the Gas Distribution Networks operator, successfully ensured the first launch of biomethane, and gas has already begun to flow into the gas transmission system,” the company stated. This achievement represents a first for Ukraine’s energy sector.
The biomethane plant is currently operating at 60-70% of its planned capacity. During this initial phase, around 6,000 cubic metres of biomethane are entering the gas distribution networks daily. The company anticipates reaching full operational capacity by the end of October 2024.
In parallel, the VITAGRO Group is working to establish biomethane exports. “The company already has all the necessary permits, and as soon as sufficient volumes are accumulated in gas storage facilities, we will immediately be able to start selling biomethane to foreign buyers,” a spokesperson explained.
