KIEV, May 24 - Myronivsky Hliboproduct plans to bring its biogas facility with Oril-Leader in Dnipropetrovsk region to projected capacity by October.

"Today, [the biogas complex] is constantly generating around two megawatts of power," said Serhiy Ivanov, the head of MHP's design and engineering center.

He said that the facility would generate 18.25 million cubic meters of biogas per year from chicken droppings, the poultry farm's sewage, and silage (the methane content will be 55-70% and carbonic acid content will reach 30-45%). Some five million cubic meters will be burned to heat a boiler and another 13 million cubic meters – at four cogeneration facilities made by Germany's Jenbacher with a combined electrical power of four megawatts and heat power – 4.4 megawatts.
