Sweden's First BioLNG Plant to Fuel Road Transport and Shipping
Scandinavian Biogas, a Swedish company, is set to construct the nation's first bioLNG plant in collaboration with local farmers and businesses. The plant will convert biogas from salmon processing and poultry manure into bioLNG, fueling road transport and shipping. This project is part of Sweden's expanding biogas filling station network, supported by the Klimatklivet climate investment scheme.
The plant, located in Hardanger, Norway, will process approximately 125,000 tonnes of feedstock annually, yielding around 90 GWh of bioLNG per year. Nordsol, the project developer, will also build its first Swedish unit, producing up to 70 GWh of bioLNG from manure-based biogas. Leon van Bossum, Nordsol's CEO, emphasizes that this technology supports regional sustainability goals and reduces emissions in long-haul transport.
Gasum, a Finnish state-owned gas company, will distribute the bioLNG to its network, aiming to introduce 7 TWh of biogas to the market by 2027. Vireo, the project's investor, chose Nordsol due to their shared ambitions and technical expertise.
The bioLNG plant in Hardanger, Norway, marks a significant step in Sweden's and Norway's efforts to expand their biogas infrastructure and reduce emissions in the transport sector. With Gasum's distribution network and Nordsol's technological prowess, this project aligns with regional sustainability goals and supports the growth of the bioLNG market.
