Ukraine’s food and agritech firm MHP said it had delivered the first shipment of Ukrainian-made bio-LNG to a European Union partner.
In a statement issued on May 9, MHP did not name the EU partner or provide further details regarding the bio-LNG shipment.
The firm said its bio-LNG is produced entirely from poultry litter and other agricultural residues.
Also, the product is ISCC EU certified and fully compliant with the RED II/III sustainability framework, according to MHP.
The company claims it operates one of the largest biogas portfolios in Europe, now expanded with bio-LNG production.
According to its website, MHP operates three biogas complexes — two in Ukraine and one in the Balkans.
MHP’s 2024 annual report shows that last year marked the completion of construction and commissioning of new biomethane and bio-LNG production units at the Ladyzhyn biogas plant, with a capacity of 12,600 tonnes.
Also, the construction and commissioning of a new biomethane production unit at the Oril-Leader biogas plant in Dnipro region was completed, while the preliminary design of the greenfield biogas/biomethane project at Kaniv town in Cherkasy region was conducted.
MHP said in the report that these sites sell and will sell “green” transport fuel to the EU.
Ukraine has no large LNG export or import terminals.
Ukraine’s Naftogaz recently signed deals with Poland’s Orlen to buy three LNG cargoes to secure Ukraine’s energy security.
These LNG shipments will be delivered to LNG terminals in Poland and Lithuania. After regasification, the gas supplies will be delivered to Naftogaz via onshore pipelines.
