Wärtsilä’s biogas liquefaction plant in Oslo gets turned on

February 13, 2014 |

In Norway, the biogas liquefaction plant delivered by Wärtsilä to the Norwegian Cambi AS, a specialist in biowaste treatment, was inaugurated on February 12. The plant, operated by Cambi AS on behalf of EGE (Waste-to-Energy Agency) and the City of Oslo, will produce biomethane from household food waste to be used as biofuel for buses in Oslo, thereby putting the region at the forefront of environmental innovation. EGE produces environmentally friendly energy from waste and is under the supervision of the City of Oslo’s Department of Environmental Affairs and Transport.

The plant is located in Nes, Romerike, an agricultural region close to Oslo. When fully operable it will treat 50,000 tons of food waste a year to produce around 14,000 Nm3 (normal cubic meters) per day of biomethane. The liquefied biogas (LBG) can be efficiently transported for use as fuel.
