Introduction
As it stands, according to the Law of Ukraine On Electricity, “green” tariff will be applied for producers of electricity from alternative sources only on condition that the share of raw stock, materials, main assets, works and services of Ukrainian origin in the cost of construction of the respective facility producing electricity from alternative energy sources makes at least 15% starting from 01.01.2012, 30% from 01.01.2013, and 50% from 01.01.2014. An additional condition for applying “green” tariff is the use of solar modules on power production

Why is biogas important for Ukraine. The opinion of EUEA expert

Biogas in Ukraine

Velke Mezirici, 7th of November 2011
 
Introduction
 
Following the decision of the President not to sign the updated legislation for settling the green tariff for renewable energy from biogas, I decided it would be good to write this reaction. Sharing experiences from real practice is important to get a good picture on the importance and huge potential of biogas in Ukraine.
 
With over 250 MW on the grid, our company, EnviTec Biogas, is a market leader in the field of biogas. Besides construction of biogas facilities for our clients we also (co-) own over 25MW of biogas facilities. We started our activities in 2001 in Germany and are now with over 400 employees active in 20 different countries.  Throughout the years we gained valuable experience which resulted in continuous improvement of efficiency, quality and economic feasibility of the Biogas Projects. With this background I guess we can give a reasonable impression on the Biogas potential and importance of it for Ukraine.

President’s veto on the “green tariff” law is against the logic and inhibits the renewable energy sector development

The rejection of the Law “On introduction of amendments to the Article 171 of Law of Ukraine “On power generation” concerning improvement of tariff system formation for power generated via utilization of biogas” by the President Viktor Yanukovich shocked and caused incomprehension among the energy market players in Ukraine.

Thus, the Chairman of the EUEA Board, Dave Young stressed

Need to support biogas plants in Ukraine. EUEA expert’s opinion

First I would like to point out that we are splitting fossil energy sources and renewable energy sources (RES), but it isn’t fully correct, because we have fossil and green sources. In their turn, green sources are also splitting, because natural gas is also a green energy source, but it is not renewable and in my article I would like to explain more about renewable energy sources and biogas sector in particular.

If we are looking in the past of the RES development, it is quite clear why and where all of them were initiated. Wind, solar and water for energy production always seemed to be self-evident and acceptable to people, what can’t be said about the biogas sector, because people were reserved to this source, even though only few knew why and for what biogas plants were developed.
