The event was organized by the Foundation for support of Bavarian exporters, Bayern International, Em & S GmbH, Ecotec rational engineering and the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine. The seminar was supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy.

It is evocative that during the event, a live program was made broadcasting the speeches by representatives of MHP from the largest biogas complex in Europe, located in Vinnytsia region, for the processing of organic waste from broiler chickens.

During the presentation, Deputy Chairman of MHP Oleksandr Dombrovskyi brought a biogas complex information to the attention of participants of the seminar online and noted:

“MHP Biogas Ladyzhyn complex can be considered the largest Ukrainian-German eco-innovation project, as a number of powerful German and Ukrainian companies and manufacturers has taken part in its implementation. The first stage of the project was launched in 2019. Its capacity is 12 MW. The project of the second stage of the Biogas Ladyzhyn complex has also been developed. In broad terms, the implementation of biogas projects is the key element of the circular economy model implementation.

It should be noted that MHP has been operating the biogas complex of PrJSC Oril-Leader, the capacity of which is 5.5 MW, since 2013, and the implementation of biogas projects by MHP Ukrainian company had began long before the presentation of the EU Green Deal.

The integration of green hydrogen and biomethane technologies is a real breakthrough in “clean” energy. By integrating the production of “green” hydrogen into existing technologies of anaerobic fermentation of biomass, it is possible to increase the capacity and efficiency of biogas complexes.”

During the presentation, Oleksandr Dombrovskyi noted that an important element of MHP’s technological cooperation with German partners was signing of the Memorandum of Strategic Partnership between PrJSC MHP Eco Energy and the German company Ellmann Engineering in the project “Biological Methanization of “green hydrogen” in March, 2021.

It is important that Reik Ellmann, director of the German company Ellmann Engineering, who was on a business trip to the biogas complex in Vinnytsia region with partners, joined the seminar.

Ivan Traksler, director of MHP Eco Energy, informed the seminar participants on the following: “MHP has significant potential for biomethane production: at the existing capacity of biogas complexes, it is possible to produce about 40 million cubic meters of biomethane annually; based on the company’s organic waste, the volume can reach about 100 million cubic meters annually; and based on organic waste with the integration of “green” hydrogen – 150 million cubic meters annually.”

MHP furthers cooperation with Germany in the field of “green” technologies

On April 27-28, an international seminar “Ukraine: biogas and biogenic hydrogen (Germany-Ukraine)” was held
