Wartsilla biogas liquefaction plant in the region of Nes, Norway

Decorative image New
A biogas liquefaction plant in the agricultural region of Nes, Romerike, close to Oslo, Norway. The plant is able to convert household food waste into liquid biogas, producing enough fuel to run 135 buses.
 
The plant was delivered by Wärtsilä to the Norwegian Cambi AS, a specialist in biowaste treatment. It is operated by Cambi on behalf of EGE (Waste-to-Energy Agency) and the City of Oslo, and will produce biomethane from household food waste to be used as biofuel for buses in Oslo.
 
When fully operable the plant will treat 50,000 tonnes of food waste a year to produce around 14,000 m3 per day of biomethane. The liquefaction plant design uses conventional components in a mixed refrigeration process and is scalable upwards to a capacity of at least 60 tonnes per day, says Wärtsilä.
