Biomethane gets successfully bunkered in Gothenburg port
For the first time, St1 and St1 Biokraft have delivered their own Swedish-produced liquefied biomethane to the maritime sector, as Terntank’s vessel Tern Ocean was bunkered at the Port of Gothenburg.
The bunkering operation recently carried out at quay 519 in the Port of Gothenburg was an important pilot test for St1 and St1 Biokraft as suppliers of biomethane to the maritime sector. The operation also served as a pressure test of the collaboration required across all parts of the value chain, with Terntank, gas infrastructure owner Nordion Energi, and the producers themselves all playing crucial roles.
In order to accelerate the maritime sector’s transition, it is essential that all actors across the value chain pull in the same direction, cooperate, and translate ambitions into practice. We are pleased to have all of this in place at the Port of Gothenburg,
… said Therese Jällbrink, Head of Renewable Energy at the Port of Gothenburg.
St1 and St1 Biokraft have ambitions to become large-scale suppliers of liquefied biomethane for the maritime sector, with several new production facilities planned across Sweden.
In 2026, energy infrastructure company Nordion Energi will build a liquefaction facility for biomethane at the Port of Gothenburg, which will be connected to the West Sweden gas grid.
With the facility in place, a new opportunity will be created for biomethane producers connected to the gas network to reach the maritime market.
Once the liquefaction plant is completed, we will have a solid solution in place at the Port of Gothenburg. This is a strategic step towards our goal of scaling up and offering competitive liquefied biomethane to the shipping sector, thereby taking a leading position in this segment,
… explained Ted Gustavsson, Head of Value Chain at St1 Biokraft.
