"Vinnytsia Poultry Factory" LLC will receive a $30 million loan for the modernization of the biogas plant in the village of Vasylivka and the production of liquefied biomethane.

The project should demonstrate the viability of the production of liquefied biomethane, reports the public union Global 100% RE Ukraine on Facebook.

It is noted that "Vinnytsia Poultry Farm" (a subsidiary of MHP Agricultural Holding) already operates two biogas plants for processing manure from its farms into green energy. The strategy of decarbonization of the MHP envisages an increase in the production of biomethane in Ukraine. In particular, thanks to the modernization and capacity expansion of its biogas plants in several stages.
