St1 Biokraft inaugurates gas pipeline connecting two biogas facilities to Stockholm’s network
In Sweden, St1 Biokraft inaugurated a new gas pipeline that connects the company’s facilities in Henriksdal (Nacka) and Gladö Kvarn (Huddinge) via Stockholm’s gas network. The new connection means that capacity to produce liquefied biogas in Huddinge has more than doubled, strengthening both the green transition and the region’s security of supply of fossil-free fuels.
The Gladö Kvarn facility comprises a production unit that produces approximately 100 GWh of biogas per year and two upgrading units that can produce compressed (CBG) and liquefied (LBG) biogas, respectively. The LBG unit was completed in late summer 2023 and was then one of the world’s largest liquefaction plants. However, the LBG upgrading unit is designed for 240 GWh, equivalent to 22 million litres of diesel. What has been missing is the grid connection from the Henriksdal facility, which can only produce CBG.
The project has required the construction of an entirely new gas pipeline through Stockholm – work that has been ongoing for two years.
