Lithuanian biomethane plant to produce 1,000 cubic feet per hour from animal waste

In Lithuania, AB Kaišiadorių Paukštynas, an indirect subsidiary of AB Akola Group, plans to build a biomethane production plant for 19.4 million euros, which is expected to be constructed on the company’s land plot in Kaišiadorys district in the first quarter of 2026. Biomethane production is expected from the second quarter of 2026, and the project is planned to apply for EU funding.

The planned biomethane plant will have four biogas reactors and will be able to produce up to 1,000 cubic meters of biomethane per hour. Biomethane will be produced using chicken, cow manure and slurry, as well as other biodegradable waste, with 120,000-140,000 tons of biowaste to be processed annually. A part of the raw materials for the future plant, around 20,000 tons per year, is planned to be purchased from farmers, thus contributing to their economic growth and reducing environmental pollution. The production in the future plant will be certified according to ISCC or RedCert international standards.
