Ukraine is continuing to develop alternative energy sources, and Ukrainian biomethane could eventually displace Russian gas from the European market. This opinion was expressed by the Deputy Minister of Energy Mykola Kolisnyk at the Ukrainian Energy Security Dialogue 2024 conference, Ukrinform reports citing the Ministry of Energy.

In his speech, M. Kolisnyk noted that the development of renewable energy is one of the requirements for Ukraine as part of its European integration. According to him, the country has potential in wind and solar generation, as well as geothermal technologies.
"In the future, Ukrainian biomethane may displace Russian gas from the European Union market," M. Kolisnyk noted.
He also added that the formation of regional energy independence passport maps will take into account the peculiarities of each region to further develop renewable energy and introduce distributed generation.
Reportedly, in early October 2024, the first produced biomethane was supplied to the Ukrainian gas transition system.
