Ukraine could generate up to 1.2 billion kWh of electricity per year and 3.5 million Gcal of thermal energy a year by producing biogas from its 10 million tons of garbage produced a year

Ukraine could generate up to 1.2 billion kWh of electricity per year and 3.5 million Gcal of thermal energy a year by producing biogas from its 10 million tons of garbage produced a year, says Sergei Savchuk, head of the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation. He notes that electricity from biogas currently sells at the ‘green’ rate of 12.4 eurocents per kWh. It is unclear what the rate will be after next year.
