Nordsol Bio-LNG Installment, Amsterdam, Tuesday 22^nd November 2022.

On the afternoon prior to the conference, a limited number of attendees will be permitted the unique opportunity to visit the first dutch Bio-LNG instalment in Amsterdam Westpoot, hosted by Nordsol. Please register your attendance for the site visit when booking for the conference.

About the Site: Nordsol has largely reinvented LNG technology to come up with a blueprint for small-scale decentralized production of bio-LNG that is robust and financially viable. This iLNG technology is applied in our own installations as well as in those of our clients. In addition, our clients can also take advantage of Nordsol’s bio-LNG market expertise to organise the full value chain from biogas to bio-LNG offtake

Nordsol

Nordsol is committed to making bio-LNG a clean and safe advanced biofuel that is widely available at an affordable price.

Nordsol’s solid bio-LNG market expertise has its roots in their progressive technology. The founders have largely reinvented the process of making LNG by carefully considering the key differences between natural gas and biogas. The result is a compact, highly integrated system of biogas treatment and liquefaction, which makes small-scale bio-LNG production economically viable. The process scheme enables the production of ultra-pure bio-LNG from biogas, in an installation with high energy efficiency, zero methane slip, integrated CO2 liquefaction, and no heat demand.

To help develop the new bio-LNG market, Nordsol also applies its market expertise to bridge the gap between the worlds of waste management and transport fuels. Working closely with biogas production partners and committed bio-LNG clients, Nordsol develops new bio-LNG projects that are grounded by a solid business framework. In these projects, Nordsol can be technology supplier but also a business partner in organizing the full value chain from biogas to bio-LNG offtake. This is a unique concept in the market that offers significant benefits to biogas producers.

The Nordsol bio-LNG-plant in Amsterdam, the first bio-LNG plant in the Netherlands, produces 3.4 kilotons of bio-LNG and 6.3 kilotons of bio-CO2 per year. The plant has been operational since October 2021.

The German Biogas Association unites operators, manufacturers and planners of biogas plants, representatives from science and research and all those interested in the industry. Since its establishment in 1992, the association, which has more than 4,700 members, has become the most influential organisation in the field of biogas worldwide. The Association works closely with various international organisations and provides knowledge from seasoned biogas experts. This is gained from the experience gathered with about 9,000 biogas plants in operation in Germany over several decades. The Association has excellent expertise and knowledge in nearly all aspects of biogas, biogas plants and biogas plant operation and is involved in all official German and various international bodies where standards or regulations for biogas plants are discussed and defined. One example is its contribution within an ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) working group to define terms, definitions and classifications of biogas systems. Especially the issue of safety at biogas plants has been a statutory goal of the Association since its foundation.
