Nordic biogas producer St1 Biokraft has inaugurated a new gas pipeline connecting its facilities in Henriksdal and Gladö Kvarn via Stockholm's gas network, more than doubling liquefied biogas (LBG) production capacity in the region. The pipeline, which required two years of construction work through Stockholm, links the Henriksdal site — which produces only compressed... [Read More]

South Korean researchers have developed a process that transforms wet spent coffee grounds directly into high-calorific biochar in under two minutes, bypassing the energy-intensive drying steps that have long constrained biomass valorisation. The flame plasma pyrolysis (FPP) method, developed at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources, uses an atmospheric-pressure... [Read More]

Slovak gas distributor SPP – distribúcia has connected a new biomethane station in Ožďany to the national distribution network, adding nearly 4 million cubic metres of renewable gas capacity per year. The station, owned by CITA VIA, was created by retrofitting an existing biogas plant in the Rimavská Sobota district over 24 months. The upgrade — supported by... [Read More]

GMT, a designer, developer, owner and operator of biomethane infrastructure, has secured a £195 million project finance facility from ING to support the scaling of its UK biomethane platform. The facility is structured as a non-recourse, multi-project debt arrangement, secured against individual projects and their contracted revenues rather than against GMT's corporate... [Read More]

French cleantech company Sublime Energie has commissioned a demonstrator system designed to liquefy biogas directly at farm level, in what the company says is a first of its kind installation. The unit, known as 'Charlie', has been installed at a farm in Plélo, Brittany, where it processes biogas from on-site anaerobic digestion into liquefied form. The liquefied biogas... [Read More]
