The Port of Gothenburg is moving closer to enabling large-scale bio-LNG bunkering, with a new biogas liquefaction plant expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2027.
The facility is being built and owned by energy company Nordion Energi, the Port of Gothenburg said in an emailed update today.
Construction has reached a new milestone with the installation of its 500 m3 storage tank, which arrived at the port by vessel.
The tank weighs nearly 140 tonnes and can store up to 200 mt of bio-LNG.
Once fully operational, the plant is expected to produce around 50 mt/day of bio-LNG.
The facility will be the first in Sweden directly connected to the west Swedish gas grid.
Liquefied biogas or bio-LNG is a cleaner alternative to fossil LNG and can be used as a drop-in fuel in LNG-fuelled vessels.
The port has previously conducted bio-LNG bunkering
ST1 Biokraft has secured part of the plant's capacity. The facility will also supply the heavy transport and industrial sectors.
