Farmers-owned plant in Vara to produce up to 70 GWh of LBG per year from manure-based biogas.
Biogas Västra Skaraborg väljer Nordsols teknik för LBG-produktion (på engelska)
sep 25 2025
Introduction
Vara, Sweden – 25 September 2025 – Nordsol, a technology leader in bio-LNG production, announces the construction of its first installation in Sweden. The plant will be built in Vara and is owned by Biogas Västra Skaraborg AB, a company founded and owned by 113 farmers and local entrepreneurs.
“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.”
Decarbonising road transport
Construction of the plant will begin in autumn 2025, with commissioning planned for 2026. Once operational, the facility will produce up to 70GWh bio-LNG (or LBG, as the Swedes call it) per year. The renewable fuel will be distributed by Redo Biosolutions AB, who will use it to decarbonise road transport in Sweden.
From local waste streams to a clean transport fuel
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.
Integration with Envithan upgrading technology
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.
LBG is now!
“This project marks our first step into Sweden – a country with a strong vision for sustainable mobility,” said Léon van Bossum, CEO of Nordsol. ”It’s a privilege to support Biogas Västra Skaraborg AB and its network of farmers in turning local waste streams into clean transport fuel. Our LBG technology helps create real value from biogas; for climate, for transport, and for the local community. LBG is now!”
