Nordic biogas and biomethane producer and distributor St1 Biokraft has announced that is supplying liquefied biomethane (bioLNG) to Swedish RoPax ferry operator Destination Gotland AB for the 2026 summer sailing season including during the ongoing Almedalan Week. This is the first time St1 Biokraft has supplied Destination Gotland with bioLNG, and the first time the company can supply a share of Swedish-produced bioLNG to the marine sector.
With this delivery, St1 Biokraft is beginning a collaboration with Destination Gotland and taking an important step toward supplying Swedish-produced bioLNG to the maritime sector.
The delivery volume corresponds approximately to around 30 one-way crossings between the Port of Visby on Gotland and the Port of Nynäshamn on mainland Sweden.
The share of bioLNG produced in Sweden is approximately 30 percent of the total volume supplied.
We are pleased to begin this new collaboration with Destination Gotland, and it is particularly positive that part of the volume is produced in Sweden. This is a milestone for us, as it is the first time we can supply biogas to shipping in the Baltic Sea. Swedish production capacity is still being built up, but our ambition is to increase our own capacity so that, in the future, we can supply only Swedish gas to this type of customer, said Sohrab Moshiri, Head of Sales, St1 Biokraft.
Produced from organic residual materials, bioLNG can be used as a renewable alternative in sectors such as heavy-duty transport, industry, and shipping.
St1 Biokraft’s delivery is being carried out in cooperation with Avenir, which is responsible for bunkering the vessels in the Port of Visby.
We are continuously working to reduce emissions from our operations, and we are very pleased to have purchased large volumes of bioLNG ahead of Almedalen Week and the summer season. It is especially positive that a large share of the order is Swedish-produced, thereby contributing to a local supply for our energy needs, said Adam Jacobsson, Sales and Marketing Manager at Destination Gotland.
