Rhys BerryGasum has announced it has officially inaugurated its newest and largest biogas plant in the Swedish town of Götene.
As previously reported by ship.energy, the plant will take in 400,000 tonnes of manure and other agricultural waste from neighbouring farms and turn it into renewable energy as well as recycled fertilisers. The renewable fertilisers will then be returned back to the farms in the area for reuse in agriculture.
The plant will produce 120 gigawatt hours (GWh) of liquefied biogas a year, which the Finnish state-owned energy company noted makes it one of the largest liquefied biogas producing facilities in Sweden.
‘This milestone underscores our commitment to cleaner energy solutions and our dedication to helping our customers on their emission reduction journey. By transforming waste into valuable resources, we not only provide the transport and industry sectors with cleaner energy options but also contribute to the circular economy,’ said Mika Wiljanen, CEO of Gasum.
‘Opening this plant represents another step towards a more sustainable future, and I would like to thank every Gasum employee and partner involved in the process for their hard work and determination along the way.’
