Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the IFC, the project is to re-engage with MHP SE and its subsidiaries by providing up to US$30 million loan to Vynnytska Ptakhofabryka LLC, a subsidiary of MHP SE in Ukraine, to finance the upgrade and capacity expansion of an agricultural-waste-to-energy plant. The Company already operates two biogas plants to convert manure from its farms into green energy. As part of its decarbonization strategy, MHP plans to increase biomethane production in Ukraine by upgrading and expanding the capacity of its biogas plants in several stages.  The first stage to be financed under the Project will serve to demonstrate the viability of liquified biomethane production.                                           

As part of the Ukraine Agri Resilience Upstream Project (ID 607918), IFC provided technical and financial expertise to MHP on developing business plans for the waste-to-energy investment program.
