Ovruch district, Polissia region

The southern section of the Yamny peat deposit — a lowland peat field in the historic Polissia peat belt of Ukraine, geologically explored since 1964.

  • Location: 1.5 km north of Rudnya-Ozeryanska village, Ovruch district, Zhytomyr region
  • Asset area: 105 ha (with documented expansion potential to 140–150 ha)
  • Type: lowland peat, natural (low-sulphur)
  • Geological exploration: initially surveyed 1964, re-approved by State Reserves Commission protocol
  • Extraction method: milling (industry standard)
  • Logistics: within the Polissia transport hub, road-truck access
  • Legal status: licensed by the State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine, valid until 27 December 2038

⌛ Status: pre-launch

Geological exploration completed, legal framework in place, samples tested in two independent accredited laboratories. Production cycle preparation is underway with a planned market entry in 2026/2027.

For first-mover clients we offer priority batch reservation tied to the actual lab characteristics of current samples.

Six samples across two independent laboratories

Peat samples from the Yamny deposit were tested at two accredited scientific institutions: basic soil parameters at the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences (Institute of Agriculture of Polissia), and fuel characteristics at a research lab affiliated with the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. We publish all results as-is — you decide which application fits your needs.

Lab data · your call

We don't prescribe usage. The lab characteristics of this deposit allow several application paths — pick the one that matches your production cycle. Additional bespoke analysis is available on request to suit specific use cases.

Milled fuel peat

DSTU 2041-92

Feedstock for fuel briquettes and semi-briquettes. Confirmed gross calorific value up to 7,253 kcal/kg with low sulphur (≤0.29%) — the profile of quality energy-grade peat.

Compost-grade peat

RST UkrSSR 19598-85

Over 95% organic matter on dry basis and 1,800–2,300% total water capacity make this an efficient base component for industrial compost mixes.

Horticultural growing media

TU 205 UkrSSR 341-83

Naturally acidic peat (water pH 4.1–4.4) — a base for greenhouse substrates, berry plantations (blueberries, etc.), and acid-loving ornamentals.

Feedstock for downstream processing

Customer specification

We prepare batches against your technical requirements: fraction, moisture, ash content, additional parameters. A lab passport for every shipment.
