Wärtsilä Gas Solutions will engineer, manufacture, install and commission the complete bio-LNG solution to Eskilstuna Biogas AB facility including a 200 m3 storage tank and export station. The scope also includes potential for future installation of a carbon dioxide (CO2) liquefaction unit. A spare parts package and service agreement will follow.
“We are committed to making a net-zero carbon future possible through utilising organic waste to produce clean energy. This bio-LNG plant represents a significant milestone in our portfolio, and we are pleased to have Wärtsilä’s experience and capabilities supporting us in this,” said Martin Kambler, Managing Director Eskilstuna Biogas AB.
Bio-LNG is produced by first upgrading biogas by removing hydrogen sulfide (H2S), CO2, and water vapour before it is liquefied at -160°C. It has the same calorific value and other properties as conventional fossil-based LNG, making it a viable and environmentally sustainable replacement fuel.
“Our bio-LNG solutions are a central part of Wärtsilä’s decarbonisation strategy, and our track record of successful installations has given us a leading position in this field. This latest order not only reinforces our commitment to providing solutions for a 100% renewable energy future, but also exemplifies how we are actively contributing to the global transition towards cleaner fuels,” commented Rolf Håkansson, Sales Manager Biogas, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions.
