A Ukrainian peat asset in the Olevsk district of Zhytomyr region, Polissia. 101.8 ha with confirmed reserves of 249,800 tonnes (category C₁). Geology complete, documentation in place, production launch planned for 2026/2027.
Plav-II peat deposit — a lowland peat field in the Korostensky (Olevsk) district of Zhytomyr region, within the historic Polissia peat belt of Ukraine.
Approved reserves documentation (State Reserves Commission protocol of 22 Dec 2021), environmental impact assessment passed (conclusion of 21 Mar 2019), special permit active. Production cycle preparation is underway.
For first-mover clients we offer priority batch reservation tied to the actual lab characteristics of the first produced batch.
Unlike many peat assets on the market, the Plav-II reserves are approved by the Ukrainian State Commission on Mineral Reserves (DKZ).
Legally, technically and geologically complete dossier for the deposit. A full due-diligence package is available on request.
Peat extraction, valid until 27.12.2038
Reserves approval of 22 Dec 2021
Environmental impact assessment of 21 Mar 2019

A sample from the Plav-II deposit was tested at a research lab affiliated with the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, using current European and Ukrainian DSTU standards for solid biofuels. The result: low-ash, low-sulphur fuel-grade peat.
| Indicator | Value | Test standard |
|---|---|---|
| Residual moisture of air-dry sample, % | 5.16 | DSTU EN 14774-1 |
| Ash on dry basis (105 °C), % | 7.91 | EN 15403 + ISO 1171 |
| Sulphur on dry basis, % | 0.35 | DSTU EN 15104:2013 |
| Total carbon on dry basis, % | 48.8 | DSTU EN 15104:2013 |
| Volatile matter, % | 65.4 | DSTU EN 15148:2012 |
| Net calorific value (air-dry), kcal/kg | 4,748 | DSTU ISO 1928 |
| Gross calorific value (air-dry), kcal/kg | 5,057 | DSTU ISO 1928 |
| Net calorific value (dry basis), kcal/kg | 5,038 | DSTU ISO 1928 |
| Gross calorific value (dry basis), kcal/kg | 5,332 | DSTU ISO 1928 |
The lab used an IKA C2000 calorimeter and a Leco CS 230 analyzer. Full report is available in the technical package on request. Additional samples from various working sectors of the deposit will follow during production cycle preparation.
Feedstock for fuel briquettes and semi-briquettes. Gross calorific value 5,332 kcal/kg with low ash (7.9%) and low sulphur (0.35%) — suitable for quality solid biofuel production.
High organic content and natural water capacity make this a base for industrial composts, fertilisers and agricultural soil mixes.
Feedstock for the production of plant-grade growing media — for greenhouses, open ground, landscaping, bagged-substrate manufacturers.
To bespoke specification — fraction, moisture, ash content, additional parameters for your use case. A lab passport per batch.
