NORDSOL and Prodeval to build bio-LNG plant in southern Portugal

In Portugal, NORDSOL together with Prodeval announced their collaboration to construct a state-of-the-art bio-LNG production plant in the southern region of Portugal. The new plant will serve a prestigious industrial facility in the olive oil production sector, utilizing their organic waste to create clean, renewable energy. This groundbreaking facility, poised to commence operations in early 2025, marks a significant milestone in sustainable energy development for the region and the industry at large.

To maximize the value of the organic residues from olive oil production, the biogas plant and the bio-LNG installation are co-located. The facility’s projected output is set to reach 10 tons of bio-LNG and 21 tons of biogenic liquefied CO2 daily from 1100 nm³/h of biogas, primarily sourced from olive waste water. The liquefied state allows for efficient transportation of the biomethane to a gasification unit, linking it directly into the natural gas network. From this entry point, this biomethane will be utilized to decarbonize high-temperature / high-pressure industrial processes.
