Schmack Carbotech to build biogas plant in Stockholm for vehicle fuel

In Germany, Schmack Carbotech has been awarded the contract to construct a plant with a processing capacity of 2000 Nm3/h in raw biogas in Sofielund Huddinge, Stockholm. Gas with a methane content of 97 percent after purification will be produced for use as a biofuel in vehicles powered by natural gas.

After completion, the plant will produce biogas with an energy yield of nearly 100 million kilowatt hours annually This means it can supply approximately 5000 vehicles travelling an average of 20,000 km per year. The city of Stockholm is therefore increasing its proportion of bio-methane to 50 percent starting in 2015. Organic waste and fryer grease from the region will be used as raw material for the plant.
