A new bioenergy complex is planned in Rivne region to process agricultural and livestock waste into biomethane and electricity. The project is proposed near Redkiv village in Dubno district and has already appeared in the environmental impact assessment register.
The planned facility would use organic feedstock to produce biogas, upgrade part of it into biomethane and generate electricity. For Ukraine, such projects are not only about green energy. They also reduce dependence on imported gas and create a local use for agricultural residues.
Gas, power and fertilizer
According to the project documentation, the complex could produce up to fifteen million cubic meters of biogas per year. After purification, annual biomethane output could reach six million cubic meters, with delivery planned into Ukraine’s gas transmission system.
The facility is also expected to generate up to twenty five thousand megawatt-hours of electricity annually. This power may be used for the plant’s own needs or sold on the energy market. Residues from processing are planned for use as organic fertilizers, closing part of the agricultural cycle.
The initiator is Energy Company Technology, linked to Hanse Agri Ukraine and Moloko Vitchyzny. Around thirty five new jobs are expected, and the complex is planned for year-round work.
The project fits a broader trend: Ukrainian agribusiness is looking at biomethane as a practical tool for energy independence, waste management and rural industrial development. The key question now is whether permitting, financing and grid connection can move fast enough for such projects to scale.
