A new agreement between FordonsGas and Swedengas will enable the bunkering liquefied biogas (LBG) at the Port of Gothenburg. Under this agreement, the two mentioned companies will supply the fuel to vessels at the port.
Since autumn of 2018, Swedegas is the owner and the operator of the one and only permanent bunkering LNG facility that port of Gothenburg has. The facility provides open access to all suppliers that wish to provide the shipping sector with the opportunity to bunker liquefied gas.
With renewable LBG, climate benefits will increase even further with the addition of net-zero carbon emissions.
In addition, Emil Glimåker, Director Nordic Countries, Air Liquide Advanced Business & Technology added
Making LBG available to shipping is a natural development for us, and through the agreement with Swedegas we have made a firm, long-term commitment.
Concluding, Johan Zettergren, Swedegas chief executive, noted that by this step, Swedish shipping will have the chance to not only make the transition to LNG, but also increase the proportion of renewable gas.
