Equitix has confirmed its investment in Eskilstuna Biogas AB (EBAB), a biowaste processing facility near Eskilstuna, Sweden. The Eskilstuna Biogas project is set to become one of the largest biogas plants in the Nordic region. With a capacity to process 150,000 tonnes of agricultural and food waste annually, the facility will produce up to 5,400 tonnes of liquefied biogas (LBG) per year, equivalent to 70 GWh of energy. The biogas project will support local municipal services and Destination Gotland, a key regional ferry operator, with long-term LBG supply contracts. The project partners for Eskilstuna Biogas include: Eskilstuna Energi och Miljö AB, Klimatklivet, Rederiaktiebolaget Gotland AB (Gotlandsbolaget), Andion CH4 Renewables and multiple local Eskilstuna farmers. “We are very excited to finally start the construction of the Eskilstuna biogas plant with a distinguished group of strategic investors and valuable municipality and local farming partners,” stated Kaj Wågdahl, Chairman of Eskilstuna Biogas AB. “We are also looking forward to contributing to a 10% CO2 reduction in the region and lead the way for other necessary green initiatives in the years to come in the region.” The biogas project is being co-financed by Andion CH4 Renewables Gotlandsbolaget, and Equitix. A significant portion of funding is provided through the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leap initiative, supported by the EU’s Next Generation recovery fund. “As an experienced greenfield investor with around 70 projects in our portfolio of 350+ assets, we’re delighted to be partnering with Eskilstuna Biogas and partners on this important renewable energy project,” said Equitix CIO, Achal Bhuwania. “The Nordics is a region of growing significance for Equitix where we’ve been investing since 2020, with seven investments across multiple sub-sectors and an enterprise value of over c. €1bn. We’re committed to growing our presence here to support both local communities and the race to NetZero, delivering clean, reliable energy for all.” The plant’s feedstock will be sourced from local farmers, who are also co-owners, and Eskilstuna Energi & Miljö (EEM). Long-term offtake agreements are in place with EEM and Destination Gotland. Construction of the plant is scheduled to begin imminently, with operations expected to commence in the latter half of 2026. The project includes a public LBG refuelling station and has been fully permitted. #cleanenergy

22 bcm of biogases were produced in Europe in 2023, according to a new report released today [Promoted content]: Considering the current rates of biogas and biomethane production, Europe could avoid 106 million tons of CO2 emissions each year, provide renewable energy to 19 million European households year-round, and fuel 533,000 LNG trucks annually.

Ivys Adsorption Inc., a company specializing in biogas upgrading, has announced a partnership with Ausime Énergie to develop a biomethanization centre in Hébertville, Quebec. This centre will produce renewable natural gas (RNG) to be distributed through Quebec’s natural gas network, marking a significant step in the province’s energy transition.

Another milestone achieved!👏 We’re proud to have played a key role in delivering New Zealand’s first renewable gas flow! In partnership with Clarus Business and First Renewables, our New Zealand Engineering team delivered the biogas upgrade balance of plant design. This project successfully integrated equipment to upgrade biogas from Ecogas’ Organics Processing Facility in Reporoa into Firstgas’ existing pipeline system, ensuring the safe injection of high-quality #biomethane. This historic achievement marks a significant step toward New Zealand’s low-carbon energy future and highlights biogas’ potential to support a circular economy by transforming organic waste into renewable energy. - Read more about this milestone: https://lnkd.in/gis-YGXV . . . #Verbrec #RenewableEnergy #Biogas #SustainableFuture #LowCarbonEnergy #CircularEconomy #EnergyTransition #NewZealand

The journey towards Cleaner Energy continues! Gasum has now opened the largest Biogas filling station in Norway. The Skui station is Gasum's seventh LBG filling station in Norway and the 50th LBG filling station in the Nordic countries. The station is strategically located west of Oslo along the E16 highway serving logistics companies in the region and facilitating long-haul traffic between Oslo and the west coast of Norway. Biogas reduces greenhouse gas emissions on average by 90% throughout the fuel’s life cycle compared to diesel. Biogas can replace up to 20% of fossil fuel use in domestic heavy-duty transport. Gasum’s goal is to bring 7 Terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable gas per year to the Nordic traffic, industry and maritime markets by 2027, reducing customers’ emissions by 1.8 million tons of CO2 per year.

GREEN GENIUS, a renewable energy firm active in eight European markets, is enhancing its biogas plant collection in Lithuania for the production of biomethane. This portfolio represents the largest in the Baltic region, and Green Genius is allocating €35 million for its modernization. Swedbank Lithuania is contributing to the financing of the project, with additional financial support provided by the Ministry of the Environment of the Republic of Lithuania. This strategic investment in biomethane represents a pivotal phase in Lithuania's decarbonization journey, offering dual benefits. Firstly, the conversion of biogas plants mitigates the release of waste into the environment, thus curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Secondly, biomethane facilities will diminish reliance on fossil fuels by substituting them with eco-friendly gases.   Click the link below for the full story and follow us for daily mandates & news. #renewables #biogas #biomethane

San Francisco’s $121 Million Biogas Project Will Transform Wastewater into Renewable Energy   The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has awarded a $121 million design-build contract for the Southeast Treatment Plant Biogas Utilization Project to PCL Construction, according to a company press release; Stantec will serve as the project’s lead designer.   The ambitious project aims to convert biogas, a natural byproduct of wastewater treatment, into renewable natural gas (RNG) for injection into the Pacific Gas and Electric Company's gas pipeline. This innovation will provide a sustainable solution for managing biogas generated at San Francisco’s largest wastewater facility.   Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/d_dCSBcx   At ChlorTainer, we are committed to advancing chemical safety through innovative containment solutions designed to minimize risk and protect communities.   Learn how ChlorTainer can help with preventing the risks of accidental chemical release: https://lnkd.in/ePKUSX8w #WaterSector #WaterTreatment #WaterOperator #ChemicalSafety #WaterIndustry #ChemicalIndustry #WastewaterTreatment #WastewaterOperator

Europe's Biogas and Biomethane Boom: A Strategic Opportunity 🌍   In 2023, Europe produced 22 bcm of biogases, meeting 7% of the EU’s natural gas demand—a volume greater than the combined needs of Belgium, Denmark, and Ireland. This milestone underscores the growing role of renewable gases in driving energy independence and sustainability.   Biogas and biomethane offer dual benefits: significant climate impact, with the potential to avoid 106 million tons of CO2 emissions annually, and enhanced energy security, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels (98% of the EU’s gas demand was imported in 2022).   The sector also presents a significant economic opportunity. With the right investments and streamlined regulations, it could generate €12 billion annually for the European bioeconomy and support 500,000 jobs by 2030.   #Biogas #Biomethane #SustainableEnergy #EnergyIndependence #NetZero   📥 Explore the full European Biogas Association report here: https://lnkd.in/dVcix9xu (Free for EBA Members)
