On November 21 in the Donetsk region opened the first stage of a biogas plant with a capacity of 1.5 MW. It was built in Volnovakha.
The cost of construction is 5.4 million euros, of which 4.2 million euros - a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and 1.2 million euros - the company's own funds.
"For the first time the idea of building such a plant has arisen in 2010. We opened this plant for an enterprise in which more than 6 thousand head of cattle. Our goal is to process livestock wastes, receive electricity and high-quality fertilizer, create new jobs and raise the economy of Ukraine, " says the plant's general director Ivan Melnyk.
Also on the territory of the enterprise, the first laboratory in the Donetsk region with the most modern equipment was opened, in which a biochemical analysis of water, soil and biofertilizers will be carried out.
