In Sweden, Biokraft passed a major milestone Thursday when the newly built liquefaction plant, connected to its biogas plant in Södertörn, delivered its first batch of bio-LNG. The shipment consisted of 34 tons of bio-LNG to be used by trucks in northern Europe. A filled container holds 17 tons of bio-LNG which is enough for fossil-free driving with a fully loaded long-haul truck for approximately 50,000 kilometers.
The newly built liquefaction plant is located directly adjacent to the digesters in Södertörn and converts biomethane into liquid through cooling. The unit has a production capacity of 220 GWh per year and is thus the world’s largest (with a production capacity of 50 tons of bio-LNG per day). The company’s potential market is significantly broadened towards heavy road transport, shipping and industry thanks to liquefaction. Bio-LNG has a high energy content per unit volume and can be transported long distances at a reasonable cost to meet a strong demand in Northern Europe.
