ZORG: Speaking of Past, Present and Future of Ukrainian Biogas Industry

February 11th, 2010

Ukrainian engineering company ZORG is not planning to leave Ukrainian market of biogas technologies. As company’s representatives stated, recent news about company closing its Ukrainian office are, merely, a fraud. One of Ukrainian magazines, whose name wasn’t made public, released fake information in regards to company’s future plans right after “ZORG Ukraine” closed its advertising account with magazine’s major editors.

Despite the economic crises, Ukrainian market of bio-energy technologies demonstrates, by far, its highest level of demand. Company’s current contract with INSECO lead to installment of 33 biogas plants in Babyno (Rivne region, Ukraine), making it one of the world’s largest bio-energy projects. The cost of company’s contacts, signed in 2010, already estimates up to 25 mln. Euro, in comparison to 4 mln. Euro ZORG gained in course of 2007-2009.

“ZORG Ukraine” is currently working on optimization of its advertising expenses. Due to marketing efforts of the last 3 years, company’s brand became widely known in Ukraine. Thus, in the nearest future, company’s major marketing campaign is going to be held in neighboring countries.

Ukraine Helps European Union to Lead in Alternative Energy Production

February 3rd, 2010

According to information provided by RBK-Ukraine, EU increases the amount of biogas production by 20% annually. In half of the cases, fumes of the city dumpsters serve as the source for biogas production. Meanwhile, biogas plants for recycling of organic waste, employed by EU countries, are developed and designed in Ukraine.

Essentially, annual increase in production of alternative energy, including the production of biogas from the organic waste, in Ukraine has reached a higher rate than that of EU. In 2007-2008 the amount of running biogas plants in the country ranged within a dozen. Due to a number of biogas plants, built by Ukrainian experts in course of 2009, the dynamic growth of alternative energy production in Ukraine is currently higher in comparison to any country, member of European Union.

In course of the first few days of 2010, Ukrainian construction company “ZORG Ukraine” signed two new contracts for construction of biogas plants with Latvian company “EcoGen SIA.” As representatives of “EcoGen SIA” stated, the choice to work in partnership with “ZORG Ukraine” was made due to exceptional experience of the companies’ employees and its projects in Europe and Asia.

Prime Minister of Ukraine has recently made a statement about validation of new penalties by the Cabinet of Ministers for Ukrainian companies that produce and yet fail to recycle organic waste using biogas plants.

Ukrainian biofuel industry receives tax benefits

January 25th, 2010

By the 18-th of January 2010 the Ministry of Industrial Policy of Ukraine received 7 requests to proceed with concessionary import of equipment, used within the industry of renewable fuels. Following information has been provided by the press-service of consulting company FuelAlternative.

On January 1, 2010 Ukrainian government validated a law “On making changes and additions to the tax policy of Ukraine in order to facilitate production and usage of biofuels.” According to the changes brought by the government, Ukrainian companies that work in the field of alternative energy can get an exemption from the tax on value added when they import technical equipment.

Biogas: Latvia and Ukraine are in for the race

January 12th, 2010

In course of the first few days of 2010, Ukrainian construction company “ZORG Ukraine” signed two new contracts for construction of biogas plants with Latvian company “EcoGen SIA.”

“EcoGen SIA” is already in possession of one biogas plant, built by “ZORG Ukraine” in 2009. Its electrical capacity reaches 1 MW.

As planned, two new biogas plants will use corn silo and grain and will have the capacities of 1 MW and 0,5 MW. “ZORG Ukraine” is currently developing an engineering plan for the biogas plants. The dates for the construction work have not yet been established.

Ukrainian engineering company ZORG Ukraine announced the development of new waste-management solution for plants that produce alcohol

December 24th, 2009

New advanced waste-management technology has been developed by Ukrainian construction company ZORG Ukraine, designed specifically for plants that produce alcohol. Unique technological upgrade allows the plant to recycle production-wastes, manufacture high-quality fertilizer and biogas, that’s instantly converted into thermal or electrical power. “Biogas plants can cut-down production expenses within the alcohol-production industry sector to a considerable degree,” – commented company’s executive director Igor Aksiutov.

Some unique qualities of production-wastes within this particular industry caused company’s intense research and development of the new waste-management system. Wastage of alcohol-producing plants serves to be the best material for production of biogas, yet the process of biomass digestion, in the following case, has its distinctive features. Taking into consideration the fact, that spent grains have shorter oxidation time-span, company’s engineers divided the digestion process of biomass into two stages: the processes of acid formation and methane formation take places in separate reservoirs, which leads to an increase of the amount of biogas produced by the plant.

The quality of biomass, received from the biogas plant, increases as well. Levels of COD and BOD are ten to fifteen times lower. The wastage of the biogas plant is the high-value product – biofertilizer. Up to this point, alcohol-producing plants managed the wastage by production of dry feeds, although the process demanded the high-level of energy consumption.

Despite the fact, that new waste-management system for plants that produce alcohol is acknowledged as the matter of public interest only now, ZORG Ukraine has already successfully installed its technological solution on various plants in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

At present moment, company offers its clients a number of specialized waste-management solutions:

  • biogas plants for cattle and pig farms;
  • biogas plants for poultry farms;
  • biogas plants for sugar plants;
  • biogas plants for energy crops;
  • biogas plants for urban ore.

In addition, one of the leading companies within the field of Ukrainian diary industry “Ukrainska Molochna Kompania” received a license for combined production of electrical and thermal power, which enables the company to sell electricity on the energy market according to the green tariff and non-regulated tariff. The license is granted by “National Energy Regulation Commission.” Green tariff rates are set by NERC Department of power-producing companies. Currently, green tariff rate is 1,34 hryvnias (UAH), exclusive of VAT.
