The plant, which will have a capacity of around 50 tonnes of liquefied biogas per day, is designed to allow biogas producers connected to the Swedish gas grid to access markets beyond its reach, including shipping, heavy transport and industry.
St1 Biokraft has already signed an agreement to secure capacity at the facility, and several shipping companies that regularly call at the port are existing biogas users expected to scale up consumption once it becomes operational.
Carolina Wistén, Head of Customer and Market Gas Grid at Nordion Energi, said the facility would support both the decarbonisation of the gas grid and sectors operating outside it. “It will also support the transition of shipping, heavy transport and industries located further away from the gas grid.”
Therese Jällbrink, Head of Renewable Energy at the Port of Gothenburg, pointed to the port’s existing maritime cluster as a key enabler. “Producers and users are already in place at the port, ready to make use of the liquefaction facility once it is operational.”
The facility is scheduled to become operational before the end of 2027.
