Wasaline inks two-year biogas supply deal with St1 Biokraft for bunkering

St1 Biokraft on Thursday (22 October) said it signed an agreement with Wasaline for the supply of 42 GWh of liquefied biogas (LBG) per year.

Wasaline has been using biogas for several years as part of the company’s efforts to reduce emissions from the ferry service between Vaasa and Umeå. The new cooperation with St1 Biokraft will strengthen the regional value chain while securing access to renewable fuel for the coming years.

The liquefied biogas will be transported by tanker truck from St1 Biokraft’s production facilities and terminals to the Port of Vaasa, where it will be bunkered on board ferry Aurora Botnia.

“This is our first major marine biogas agreement and an important milestone for St1 Biokraft. Shipping is a sector where biogas can already contribute to significant emission reductions, and we are very pleased with the confidence Wasaline has placed in us. This is also a good example of how our growing Nordic production and infrastructure enable us to supply biogas to new applications,” said Johan Zakrisson, Head of Business Development, St1 Biokraft.
