Wartsila to supply world's biggest bio-LNG plant
Finnish technology group Wartsila will supply equipment for what will be the world's biggest biogas liquefaction plant, the company announced on May 26.
The plant, which will produce 25 metric tons/day of LNG, will be supplied to Norway-based Biokraft, a subsidiary of the Scandinavian Biogas Group. It will serve as an expansion of an existing 25 mt/day bio-LNG plant at Skogn in Norway, also supplied by Wartsila. The combined 50 mt/d complex will be "by far the largest facility of its kind in the world," Wartsila said.

Liquefied biogas has applications in transport and industry, helping companies decarbonise their operations.
"Wartsila’s latest mixed refrigerant – MR – technology used in our liquefaction plants is extremely reliable, and offer the lowest operating costs for liquefying biogas," the company said. "We are proud to have once again been selected by Biokraft since it represents a clear endorsement of customer satisfaction."
The Wartsila equipment is due to be delivered in May 2022.
