Dry‑Port & Bioethanol Hub Planned for Transcarpathia

Project Snapshot

What the Terminal Will Handle

• Light petroleum products – diesel, gasoline

• Bioethanol – blended on‑site for E5/E10 grades

• Vegetable oils (non‑food) – feedstock for biofuels

• Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) – import/export via rail and road

Rail interface:

• Broad‑gauge track from Mukachevo (1 520 mm)

• Standard‑gauge track from Strabychovo (1 435 mm)

Strategic Benefits

1. Supply‑chain resilience
   Diversifies fuel‑logistics routes away from front‑line regions; short rail haul to EU border crossings.

2. Green‑fuel boost
   On‑site bioethanol mixing positions Ukraine to meet EU renewable‑fuel mandates.

3. Regional job creation
   Construction and operations to add ~150 direct jobs, supporting Nadezhda’s 1 500‑strong national workforce.

4. Cross‑border trade facilitation
   Dry‑port model speeds customs processing for fuels and vegetable oils bound for Central Europe.
