The project \u201cCogeneration plant for the production of electricity and heat from biogas at a biomethane plant\u201d<\/strong>, implemented by Vitagro Energy<\/a><\/strong>, ranks among the best green transformation projects of 2025 in the field of bioenergy!<\/p>\n

This is the first of four projects that won in the bioenergy category. We will tell more about the others later.<\/p>\n

About the project<\/h2>\n

The goal is to reduce electricity costs and CO2 emissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An analysis of the biomethane plant\u2019s operations showed that its average electricity consumption is 300-320 kW. The company purchased electricity from the electricity supplier at market rates (first voltage class). Currently, this amounts to 21 million hryvnias in electricity costs per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company calculated that by installing a cogeneration plant that would run on biogas, it would be able to reduce electricity purchase costs and lower CO2 emissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An additional bonus was the ability to extract the thermal energy needed to heat the fermenters. At the same time, the efficiency of the cogeneration plant will be maximised. Another effect of implementing such a project was a reduction in CO2 emissions, as electricity from the grid was replaced by electricity generated from renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n

Key project details<\/h2>\n

The project was launched on 1 November 2025<\/strong>. The first days of operation proved that the decision was correct, as electricity restrictions began and the CHP plant allowed the factory to operate using its own energy resources.<\/p>\n
