New infrastructure boosts sustainable energy supply
A new pipeline in Stockholm has marked a significant step forward in the energy transition by connecting two key biogas production facilities, enabling the liquefied biogas capacity in the Huddinge region to more than double.
The infrastructure links the Henriksdal and Gladö Kvarn plants, operated by St1 Biokraft, integrating them into the regional gas system and optimizing the use of existing resources.
Asset optimization and increased production capacity
The Gladö Kvarn plant has an approximate annual production of 100 GWh of biogas and has units to produce both compressed and liquefied biogas. However, its liquefaction capacity, completed in 2023, was limited by the lack of a connection to the grid.
With the new pipeline now in operation, additional biogas from Henriksdal can be processed, significantly increasing total liquefied biogas production.
Strategic project for regional energy security
The development of this infrastructure took nearly two years and received partial support from the Swedish Klimatklivet program, aimed at reducing emissions and promoting sustainable technologies.
St1 Biokraft management emphasized that this interconnection represents a key step to expand the availability of low-carbon fuels and strengthen energy security in the region.
Gasnätet Stockholm, for its part, highlighted that the project helps diversify the energy mix and reduce dependence on a single supply source.
Liquefied biogas: a key solution for decarbonization
Liquefied biogas (LBG) is positioned as a strategic alternative in high energy-demand sectors such as heavy transport, industry, and the maritime sector. Its production, based on organic waste such as food waste and wastewater, reinforces its sustainable and circular nature.
These types of initiatives consolidate the role of biogas as a key energy vector within European decarbonization and energy resilience objectives.
