Taking into account the economic and political situation in the country during 2014, the need to reduce energy dependence of Ukraine and the development of alternative energy in order to replace imported natural gas in the heating sector comes fore.

September 10, 2014 the Government of Ukraine adopted Resolution №453 «About stimulating the substitution of natural gas for production of thermal energy for institutions and organizations financed from the state and local budgets. Due to the large shortage of natural gas in the heating season 2014-2015, and public policy to reduce Ukraine's dependence on imported gas the State Enterprise 'Boryspil' International Airport showed the appropriate interest in establishing in its territory an open solid fuel boiler and in the acquisition of thermal energy produced from biomass in order to diversify and balancethe heat deficit.

In December 2014 'Kyiv Green Energy' company on the basis of heating and industrial boiler of 'Boryspil' IA installed the module of thermal generation capacity, namely, solid fuel boiler with a total capacity of 5000 kW/h.

In 2015, our company delivered 12,279 Gcal of thermal energy, which led to reduction in the use of natural gas to 1.62 million cubic meters per year and reduction in state-owned enterprise in heating costs.
