Objective: The objective of this review is to analyze the technologies for transforming green hydrogen to enhance biomethane production at existing plants in Ukraine and Europe, and to assess their potential in the context of achieving climate neutrality and energy independence. Tasks: Evaluate the European Union's strategies for achieving climate neutrality with an emphasis on the use of green hydrogen. Examine the technologies for integrating green hydrogen into biomethane production at operational biogas plants. Analyze the prospects and challenges of implementing such technologies in Ukraine and Europe.   Research Methods: To achieve the objectives, methods of review analysis, comparison of existing technologies, and assessment of their economic and environmental effectiveness were used. Information was gathered from scientific publications, official reports of the European Union, as well as data on the current state and prospects of the biogas and biomethane market. Results: The article analyzes EU strategies aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050 through the active use of green hydrogen. Green hydrogen, produced from renewable energy sources, is a key component in the decarbonization of energy systems. Integrating green hydrogen into biomethane production allows for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and enhances energy independence. European plants are already successfully employing water electrolysis and methane synthesis technologies to convert CO₂ into biomethane. These technologies provide additional opportunities for energy storage and reduction of CO₂ emissions. Technologies such as hydrogenotrophic CO₂ reduction have shown high potential in biomethane production using green hydrogen. In Ukraine, the development of biomethane and hydrogen infrastructure is also outlined in the "Memorandum of Understanding" with the EU. These investments are expected to contribute to the country's energy independence and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. However, achieving this potential requires overcoming regulatory barriers and securing appropriate investments. Thus, integrating green hydrogen into biomethane production is an important step towards clean energy and sustainable development both in Ukraine and in Europe. Further research and investment in this field will contribute to achieving climate goals and enhancing energy security.
