What Energain does
Energain (Товариство з обмеженою відповідальністю "Енерджейн") is a Ukrainian limited liability company headquartered in Vinnytsia with a pellet manufacturing facility in Bolekhiv (Ivano-Frankivsk region). Founded in 2016 as a family veteran-owned business, the company operates three interconnected lines: (1) industrial and building energy audits and energy monitoring services, including compressed-air, lighting, HVAC, thermal, drive, pump, cooling, water, and generation systems; (2) construction of energy-passive and NZEB residential and office buildings, with completed projects achieving 27 kWh/sq.m./year and operating costs under ₴10/m²/year for heating, cooling, and hot water; and (3) since 2024, production of 100% wood (oak, beech, pine) fuel pellets compliant with ENplus and DSTU 8358:2015, with a stated design capacity of 350 tons/month, daily productivity of 25 tons, warehouse capacity of 200 tons, and a per-shipment carbon footprint disclosure of 235-237 kg CO2/t.
The company monetizes through a mix of professional services (audits, training, consulting under EBRD and GIZ programs, passive-house construction) and hardware sales (wood pellets sold via its own e-commerce shop in 1-ton big bags and 15kg bags, with a Private Label option). Enterprise customers include Gnivansk Plant of Special Reinforced Concrete, Haysynsky Milk Factory, Central Fish, and Private School Stupeni, while the pellet line serves SMBs and consumers through direct online sales. Energain holds EBRD pre-qualified consultant status in Energy Efficiency and Resource Efficiency since 2017 and operates with 1-10 employees.
Operations were disrupted in February 2022 when a co-owner and manager was mobilized to the Armed Forces of Ukraine; the company reports a full resumption of activity in 2024 coinciding with the pellet line launch. Go-to-market is direct sales and field consultation for enterprise services, and a website-driven D2C storefront for pellets; marketing channels are primarily organic social (Facebook, two Instagram verticals, YouTube) and the company's own blog.
