Regazz, Nordsol to develop bio-LNG production plants in Europe

Regazz, a developer of circular biofuel production plants, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Nordsol, a bio-LNG technology provider, to establish bio-LNG production facilities at agricultural sites across Europe, the companies said on December 19.

Regazz's approach involves utilising organic residual flows obtained directly from farmers, incorporating plant residues and manure as key inputs for their biogas plants. Beyond producing biogas, these plants generate digestate, a mineral- and nutrient-rich fertilizer that can be reintegrated into the farmland, promoting a circular and sustainable agricultural model.

Nordsol's technology converts biogas into two valuable products: bio-LNG, targeted for long-haul transport applications, and liquid biogenic CO2. This dual-product approach enhances the overall efficiency and sustainability of the biofuel production process, the companies said. 

Frans Geerts, founder of Regazz, said that by liquefying biogas on-site and temporarily storing it, the continuous production of bio-LNG is assured, independent of the availability or capacity of a gas network.

Leon van Bossum, CEO of Nordsol, said, "Onsite biogas liquefaction to bio-LNG not only accelerates the energy transition in long-haul transport, but it also contributes to our mission of fostering a local circular economy and creating more jobs in rural areas."
