On Tuesday, at Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry / Ukrainian CCI the closing event of the project took place, “Development of the Biogas Industry in Kyiv Oblast” organised by Kyiv Regional Development Agency, together with Department of Economy of Kyiv Oblast State Administration and Department of Agro-Industrial Development of Kyiv Oblast State Administration.
The biogas industry is a promising sector that can increase Ukraine’s energy independence. This topic is increasingly being discussed publicly, so the Agency’s team is proud to have the opportunity to implement the project and take part in awareness-raising events in the field of alternative energy sources.
So this event became an excellent platform for discussing current issues in the biogas industry and identifying ways for its further development in the region.
The speakers at the event were:
- Viktor Bilko, Deputy Head of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine;
- Denys Motornyi, technical expert on energy efficiency and renewable energy sources at Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Ukraine;
- Oleh Yovzhenko, Head of Sales and biogas/biomethane technologist at Pro-Energy;
- Oleksii Savin, Director of the Sustainable Development Department at Ukrgasbank;
- Olha Varchenko, Doctor of Economic Sciences and Professor at Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University.
The experts shared more about general trends in the biogas industry worldwide and in Ukraine, the state of biogas in Kyiv region, and the prospects for the development of this industry in the region.
In addition, participants had the opportunity to learn about best practices in biogas production, share experience and establish business contacts.
The Agency’s team sincerely thanks all partners, experts and participants for their participation and productive discussions. We are convinced that such events are necessary to raise awareness in the field of alternative energy sources.
