Eskilstuna Biogas AB (EBAB) plans to start the construction of a 70 GWh LBG plant outside Eskilstuna in Sweden, with several key partners - including multiple local Eskilstuna farmers, Eskilstuna Energi & Miljö, Klimatklivet, Gotlandsbolaget, Equitix New Generation a UK based infrastructure fund and Andion CH4 Renewables.
The plant will be one of the largest of its kind in the Nordic region and will supply local municipality services and Destination Gotland with renewable LBG.
The plant is expected to start producing LBG from Q2 2026.
The project has the capacity for processing of up to 150,000 tons per year of locally sourced agricultural waste and food waste to produce up to 5,400 ton per year of liquefied biogas.
The feedstock will be secured from numerous local farmers who also are co-owners of the project and from Eskilstuna Energi & Miljö (EEM).
The offtake volumes have been secured through long term supply contracts with the local municipality EEM, and through Destination Gotland who is a subsidiary of the equity investor Gotlandsbolaget (Rederiaktiebolaget Gotland, publ.). The plant will also have an LBG public filling station facility. The digestate will be sold as high quality biofertiliser back to the farmers.
The project started with enabling works on the site in August 2024 and is planned for start-up of gas production under Q2 2026.
“We are very excited to finally start the construction of the Eskilstuna biogas plant with a distinguished group of strategic investors and valuable municipality and local farming partners. We are also looking forward to contributing to a 10% CO2 reduction in the region and lead the way for other necessary green initiatives in the years to come in the region.” said Kaj Wågdahl, chairman of Eskilstuna Biogas AB.
