Chart has delivered what it says is the largest liquefied biogas (LBG) or bio-LNG refueling station in continental Europe. The station located in Kallhall, Sweden, is owned by Finland’s Gasum.
According to a statement by Chart on Tuesday, Chart’s European technology centre in Decin, Czech Republic, built and engineered the station.
Designed to meet the demands of increased traffic of natural gas fuelled heavy-duty transport across the region, the station features four LBG and two CBG (compressed biogas) dispensers, along with cryogenic tanks with a total liquid storage capacity of 130 cbm.
Chart noted that modular construction maximizes shop building, which reduces cost, schedule and risk, minimizes time at site for installation and commissioning, while also providing a replicable model for further stations and capacity expansions.
Moreover, the station connects to a nearby biogas liquefaction plant operated by Gasum, enabling the use of locally produced renewable fuel on site.
This integrated approach reduces transport-related emissions and also supports the development of a circular economy of waste-to-energy, Chart said.
In July, US energy services firm Baker Hughes entered into a definitive deal to buy compatriot LNG equipment maker Chart Industries.
The transaction is worth $13.6 billion.
Baker Hughes and Chart expect to complete the transaction by mid-year 2026.
