Denmark-headed biogas plant developers Lundsby Renewable Solutions A/S (Lundsby) has announced that it has signed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the design and construction of a new large-scale biogas plant project in Kiuruvesi, Finland, undertaken by Suomen Lantakaasu Oy.

This facility, a central component of the Upper Savo biogas complex, marks a significant step forward in renewable energy and circular resource utilization in Finland. The biogas will be upgraded into biomethane, aka renewable natural gas (RNG), and then liquefied – bioLNG.

With the capacity to process 460,000 tonnes of manure annually, the Kiuruvesi biogas plant will produce approximately 125 GWh of bioLNG per annum.

This output is estimated to be the annual energy equivalent needed for 250 heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), emphasizing the project’s role in supporting Finland’s green transition and reducing transport-related emissions.

Ground preparation completed

The groundwork phase in Kiuruvesi has already been finalized and construction of the biogas plant will begin this winter. The plant will be completed in 2026.

Our partnership with Suomen Lantakaasu in this project represents a shared vision for sustainable energy and resource use, and we are looking forward to contributing our high-level expertise and know-how to the Kiuruvesi biogas plant, said Karsten Hjorth, CBDO at Lundsby Renewable Solutions.
