Port of Gothenburg eyes large-scale biogas bunkering in 2027

The Port of Gothenburg, which is perceived as the largest port in the Nordic countries, has tucked a new green transition milestone under its belt with the installation of a 500-cubic-meter storage tank for liquefied biogas (LBG).

Built and owned by Nordion Energi and scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2027, Sweden's first grid-connected biogas liquefaction plant is set to unlock large-scale renewable bunkering for the shipping industry and supercharge the local green fuel value chain.

The construction milestone for the biogas liquefaction plant at the Port of Gothenburg comes as the facility’s storage tank for LBG got installed. This renewable fuel with low climate impact is said to have the ability to replace fossil alternatives in several sectors. As a result, the interest in the fuel is growing rapidly, particularly in shipping.

"Shipping’s transition requires a collaborative value chain. This facility strengthens the port’s position in renewable bunker fuels and makes it possible to offer LBG to the shipping sector on a larger scale. As we see more and more vessels on order for LBG operation, we also see strong potential for increased bunkering at the Port of Gothenburg."
