Bio-Energie Moser selects Nordsol technology for bio-LNG expansion

At the heart of the new facility is Nordsol’s proprietary liquefaction technology, designed for decentralised and small-scale applications. At Moser, Nordsol’s system will be connected to a biogas upgrading unit based on pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology from ETW. It is the first time Nordsol integrates its liquefaction technology with PSA upgrading.

“Delivering our first plant in Germany is a milestone for Nordsol,” says Léon van Bossum, CEO at Nordsol. “Bio-Energie Moser already knows bio-LNG production from the inside, and we are proud that they have chosen our technology for their expansion.”

With nearly 10,000 biogas plants, Germany has one of Europe’s largest biogas sectors. Many of these plants are looking for new ways to market their gas as their current feed-in tariffs under the EEG come to an end. Converting biogas into bio-LNG gives producers direct access to the transport fuel market.

Nordsol’s first German plant builds on its track record across Europe. Nordsol-built plants are operational in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Portugal, with further installations under construction in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden. Together, Nordsol plants have produced around 20,000 tonnes of bio-LNG to date.
