Port of Gothenburg targets large-scale liquefied biogas bunkering from 2027
New liquefaction facility by Nordion Energi will have an annual capacity of 250 GWh, equivalent to the bunkering needs of around 50 vessels.
Sweden’s Port of Gothenburg on Thursday (12 November) said it is expecting to enable large-scale liquefied biogas (LBG) bunkering from 2027, following the installation of a storage tank at a new biogas liquefaction facility being developed by Nordion Energi.
The facility, which is being built and owned by Nordion Energi, is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2027. It will be Sweden’s first biogas liquefaction plant directly connected to the west Swedish gas grid, to directly deliver LBG to shipping, heavy transport and industrial users.
Construction has reached a milestone with the installation of the facility’s 500-cubic-metre storage tank, which arrived at the port by vessel. The tank weighs nearly 140 metric tonnes (mt) and will be capable of storing up to 200 mt of LBG once operational.
Groundworks, including the construction of foundations and base slabs, have also been completed.
