The cooperative agreement was announced by Jurgen Keinhorst of the German Federal Ministry of Environment at the recent joint Ukraine-Germany council.
Keinhorst also suggested that some pilot projects in the sector may involve German investment.
During the council several Ukrainian scientists presented draft proposals for bio-fuel facilities that would produce both thermal power and biogas from agricultural waste using German technology.
Ukraine launched its first pilot bio-fuel project last year. The facility, located in Turbiv, produces "wood" pellets made of straw purchased from local farmers.
The nation is also home to six biogas facilities.
