Biogas Västra Skaraborg selects Nordsol technology for LBG production

Biogas Västra Skaraborg AB collects both liquid and solid manure from farms across the municipalities of Grästorp, Essunga, and Vara. In total, the plant will process around 370,000 tonnes of manure per year as feedstock for biogas production. This biogas will be upgraded and liquefied into LBG with the support of two technology partners: Nordsol and EnviTec Biogas.

“Nordsol’s LBG technology stood out as the most robust solution with the best business case for our project,” said Tomas Carlmon, CEO of Biogas Västra Skaraborg AB. ”Its low energy consumption, high reliability, and ability to deliver consistently cold LBG of -160°C are all critical to operating in the Swedish market. We’re excited to partner with Nordsol’s experts and bring this important facility to life together.”

EnviTec Biogas will deliver its EnviThan upgrading technology to convert the raw biogas into biomethane. Nordsol’s Core technology will then take over, further purifying and liquefying the gas into LBG. The systems will be tightly integrated to ensure low energy consumption, prevent methane slip, and allow for easy, reliable operation, all within a compact footprint. This setup is ideally suited for decentralised LBG production, right at the source of the feedstock.
