Gas consumption is important because air pollution from gas usage leads to 7 million premature deaths annually. Reducing gas consumption improves energy security by diversifying importers and reducing dependence. Ukraine's gas consumption can be reduced to realistic targets of 60 kWh/m2 by 2030 from current levels of 250-275 kWh/m2 through measures like individual heat substations, thermostatic radiator valves, heat cost allocators, and improving metering and billing based on consumption. This could save 11.4 bcm of gas annually, over 60% of Ukraine's gas used for heating.

12. Energy Security
Diversify Importers
Reduce the needs of Energy, reducing consumption

14. How can we reduce the consumption of gas ?
Ukraine, about 250-275 kWh/m2
Western Europe, about 120 kWh/m2
60 kWh/m2 consumption target by 2030 could be a realistic goal for Ukraine
Report No. 64989-UA

16. heat metering at the building level
Consumption-based billing
temperature controls

17. Temperature controls
Installing individual heat substations (ITPs).
thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs)
heat-cost allocators (HCAs) on all radiators in each apartment

19. If the current EU average level of efficiency in heating
generation were in ukraine
11.4 bcm of gas could be saved
61% of the total gas consumption for that purpose

20. The fraction of metered buildings differs widely between regions
Lviv (73%)
Kyiv (70%)
Mykolaiv (68%)
Ternopil (7%)
Poltava (24%)

21. Why is this Important ?
7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution
Greenhouse effects
Energy security
Gas is not free
