Havila Biogass Selects Nordsol to Build Three Bio-LNG Plants in Norway
Norway’s Havila Biogass has selected the Dutch firm Nordsol to build three bio-LNG plants in Norway for use across various sectors, including shipping.
The facilities will use agricultural and fish waste to produce bio-LNG, Havila Biogass said in a statement on its website on Thursday.
The units are expected to start operations in 2027/28, each delivering about 100 GWh of bio-LNG per year.
The fuel can be used in road transport and dual-fuel LNG ships. As bio-LNG is a cleaner alternative to fossil LNG and can be used as a drop-in fuel.
Several shipping companies operating in Europe have started using bio-LNG as a drop-in fuel for dual-fuel vessels, helping operators cut emissions and meet upcoming FuelEU Maritime regulations.
“We chose Nordsol for their proven, reliable and cost-efficient technology, but equally for the expertise and project approach of their people,” Kjell Evensgård, CEO of Havila Biogass, said.
