Olha Vlasenko, senior lecturer at the Department of Thermal and Alternative Energy of the Institute of Thermal and Nuclear Energy affiliated to the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and Dina Koltysheva, assistant lecturer at the Department of Bioenergy, Bioinformatics and Environmental Biotechnology of the Kyiv Polytechnic’s Faculty of Biotechnology and Biotechnics, have successfully completed the professional training programme “Biogas and Energetic-Material Biomass Utilisation.” The programme was implemented within the framework of agreements with the Ukraine Energy Autarky Association, whose aim is to make Ukraine a leader in energy self-sufficiency through innovative research projects and partnerships.
Their internship took place from 17 to 28 November 2025 at Bio-H2 Umwelt GmbH, based in the German city of Jena, in cooperation with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Bio-H2 Umwelt GmbH is an innovative company dedicated to research and development in the fields of biohydrogen, biomass, and anaerobic technology since 2004.
During the training, the Kyiv Polytechnic scientists attended lectures and conducted research on raw materials and inoculum for biogas production, using modern laboratory equipment. They also participated in the development of latest techniques for processing biomass to biofuel and visited biogas plants operating in Jena.
In addition, plans are in place to further cooperation in student training with a particular focus on preparing technically-skilled personnel for work at innovative biogas facilities.
