Uniper first to convert biomethane to BioLNG at Gate terminal in Rotterdam

In Germany, at the Gate terminal in Rotterdam, Uniper has become the first shipper to start using the BioLNG production capacity to convert biomethane into BioLNG. 

The BioLNG produced at the Gate terminal is certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) scheme. The underlying commodity is biogas produced in one of the EU member states, upgraded to biomethane to remove substances such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and fed into the Dutch natural gas grid. At the Gate exit point, the LNG terminal takes over the biomethane and liquefies it using the terminal’s existing infrastructure. The capacity of the liquefier is about 100,000 tons per year and can be used by the existing shippers.
