OREANDA-NEWS. February 03, 2010. Foreign investors are interested in financing the construction of biogas units in Belarus, said Prime Minister of Belarus Sergei Sidorsky during his visit to the biogas facilities of the Gomel poultry farm.

For instance, a German firm is ready to invest from €30 million to €35 million annually in the construction of biogas units in Belarus. This money is enough to construct some eight or nine units of such kind.

The national energy saving program for 2006-2010 and the state program for Belarus’ innovation development for 2007-2010 envisage the construction of ten biogas units in Belarus by 2011. In 2008 two units of such kind were put into operation in the Minsk and Brest oblasts. In 2009 another biogas unit was put into operation at the Gomel poultry farm.
