The construction of modern bioethanol plants in Ukraine that will use agricultural waste will begin at the end of 2023. The company plans to build 30 such deep processing plants in Ukraine in the future. The first plant will be built in Odesa region; three more are planned to be built in different parts of Ukraine, including Lviv region.

Oleksandr Batatin, CEO of AB AGRO PROJECT GROUP, said that the plant in Odesa region will be built for the energy company Gaztransit; investments in the project amount to €30-35 million.

Orest Hryniv, Deputy Director of the Economic Policy Department of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, confirmed that the next plant is planned to be built in Lviv region.

Hryniv explained that the project involves the use of microorganisms for the deep processing of agricultural waste, including wheat and molasses. According to him, the construction of a bioethanol plant in the Lviv region will allow for efficient exports to EU countries, which will guarantee the safety of the investment project.
