According to information provided by RBK-Ukraine, EU increases the amount of biogas production by 20% annually. In half of the cases, fumes of the city dumpsters serve as the source for biogas production. Meanwhile biogas plants for recycling of organic waste, employed by EU countries, are developed and designed in Ukraine.
Essentially, annual increase in production of alternative energy, including the production of biogas from the organic waste, in Ukraine has reached a higher rate than that of EU. In 2007-2008 the amount of running biogas plants in the country ranged within a dozen. Due to a number of biogas plants, built by Ukrainian experts in course of 2009, the dynamic growth of alternative energy production in Ukraine is currently higher in comparison to any country, member of European Union.
In course of the first few days of 2010, Ukrainian construction company “ZORG Ukraine” signed two new contracts for construction of biogas plants with Latvian company “EcoGen SIA.” As representatives of “EcoGen SIA” stated, the choice to work in partnership with “ZORG Ukraine” was made due to exceptional experience of the companies’ employees and its projects in Europe and Asia.
Prime Minister of Ukraine has recently made a statement about validation of new penalties by the Cabinet of Ministers for Ukrainian companies that produce and yet fail to recycle organic waste using biogas plants.
