The Port of Gothenburg is set to become a significant player in the biogas bunkering sector, with the installation of a biogas liquefaction plant expected to be completed by 2027. The facility, owned by Nordion Energi, has recently installed its storage tank for liquefied biogas (LBG), marking a crucial milestone in its development.
With a capacity of 500 cubic meters, the tank will be able to store up to 200 tonnes of LBG once the plant is operational, providing a renewable fuel alternative for shipping and other sectors. The port's Head of Renewable Energy, Therese Jällbrink, highlighted the importance of this facility in strengthening Gothenburg's position in renewable bunker fuels and making LBG more accessible for the shipping sector.
Nordion Energi's Head of Customer and Market, Carolina Wistén, noted that the plant will create a new market for Swedish biogas producers connected to the gas grid, with the first shipments of LBG expected to begin in the second quarter of 2027.
