    I’m not saying that it’s not doable, but it’s a project to generate methane in an environment where Russia is slinging munitions at energy generation infrastructure.

    reads article

    Companies say investors have been reluctant to fund projects during the war that has seen Russia attack the country’s energy infrastructure.

    Yeah.

    Like, maybe do something like:

    • Ask Slovakia for a special economic zone right across the border near the Bratstvo natural gas pipeline. In that area, companies are permitted to freely interchange equipment and workers with Ukraine, and are allowed to operate until the end of the war plus N years for teardown and physically moving installation stuff to Ukraine.

    • Put the critical, explosive stuff that is going to get shot at in the SEZ.

    • Operate the less-vulnerable stuff, like the trucks and the loading stuff in Ukraine. Transport the methane-producing substances to the facility, unload, pump methane into the pipeline there.

    • Post-war, tear down the equipment and move it back into Ukraine.
