- Nordsol and Prodeval build a bio-LNG production plant in southern Portugal, powered by olive oil waste.
- Daily output reaches 10 tons of bio-LNG and 21 tons of biogenic CO2, decarbonising industrial processes.
- Proven technology integrated: Nordsol’s patented liquefaction combined with Prodeval’s VALOPUR membrane upgrading system.
Nordsol and Prodeval announce groundbreaking
bio-LNG production facility in Portugal
Key takeaways
Introduction
Nordsol and Prodeval are excited to announce 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, utilising their organic waste to create clean, renewable energy. The facility, poised to commence operations in early 2025, marks a significant milestone in sustainable energy development for the region and the industry at large.

Innovative Technology and Strategic Integration
The bio-LNG production process involves upgrading biogas into biomethane using Prodeval’s advanced VALOPUR® membrane technology. This biomethane is then liquefied to bio-LNG using Nordsol’s innovative, energy efficient technology, providing a high energy density, sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. The biogenic CO2 captured during the process will be liquefied using Prodeval’s V’COOL® FG system, emphasising the facility’s dedication to environmental stewardship. This biogenic CO2 will be used in the food and beverage industry where it will displace CO2 from fossil resources.
To ensure peak performance and sustainability, the plant will integrate Prodeval’s systems for biogas upgrading and CO2 liquefaction with Nordsol’s patented technology for biomethane purification and liquefaction, which has been in operation in Amsterdam for almost three years. This process integration highlights the commitment of both companies to achieve the highest levels of energy efficiency and production reliability.
This project marks the third installation by Prodeval for a client in Portugal, reinforcing the company’s commitment and expertise in the region.
