The head of Naftogaz Ukrainy, Yuriy Vitrenko, proposed to abandon gas and switch to heating with garbage and biomass. His words on Saturday, October 1, are quoted by Ukrinform.
Vitrenko believes that such types of fuel in Ukraine can begin to be used as early as the next heating season, following the example of Zhytomyr.
“By the next heating season, Ukraine plans to completely abandon the use of natural gas for heating thanks to alternative energy sources. The experience of Zhytomyr shows that in most cases it is possible to switch from natural gas for heating by the next heating season, for example, to biomass, garbage, ”the publication quotes him.
According to the head of Naftogaz, it is economically more profitable for Ukraine to launch such projects than to import gas even for this heating season.
Earlier, in August, Vitrenko advised Ukrainians to stock up on blankets and warm clothes for the winter, since during the heating season the temperature in the premises will be 17-18 degrees Celsius, and the heating season itself will be shorter than usual.
In September, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, ex-Minister for Housing and Communal Services of the country Oleksiy Kucherenko addressed the head of state Volodymyr Zelensky with a proposal to dismiss the head of the board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine Yuriy Vitrenko. In his opinion, Vitrenko’s continued tenure in this post threatens Ukraine’s energy security.
