Epicentr seeks $350 million to complete industrial park with oilseed crushing and biomethane plants

Epicentr K plans to raise $350 million in external financing to build the “Carbon-Neutral Eco-Agro Hub Podillia-Horodok”, a project featured in the Ukraine Investment Guide 2026 presented at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 (URC2026) in Gdańsk, Poland.

The total investment is estimated at $500 million, of which the company is ready to contribute $150 million from its own funds.

The industrial park is being developed in western Ukraine and is designed as a cluster of enterprises focused on deep processing of agricultural raw materials and renewable energy production. The project includes an oilseed crushing plant, bioethanol and biomethane plants, a combined heat and power (CHP) plant, as well as solar and wind power facilities.

According to the investment guide, the project is already in the implementation phase, with preparatory works ongoing and construction and installation works underway.

Once operating at full capacity, the park is expected to generate $540 million in annual revenue and $140 million in EBITDA. The estimated payback period is 6.5 years, while the 12-year net present value (NPV) is projected at $180 million.

Commissioning of individual facilities within the industrial park is scheduled between Q4 2026 and Q4 2027.

Epicentr said the project is based on a vertically integrated model that will allow the company to process its own agricultural raw materials into higher value-added products. The project is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs.
