Major Developments in Global Biogas Market

In July 2019, Wartsila launched biogas solutions unit to speed up adoption of clean fuels. The biogas solution offers products for biogas upgrading to biomethane, and the liquefaction of biomethane into bioLNG.
In April 2018, Air liquid has commissioned three new biomethane production units, in the U.K, the U.S, and France. With these units, Air Liquide has doubled its biomethane production capacity, which now stands at 60 MW, the equivalent of 500 GWh for a full year of production. The commissioning of these new biomethane production units, is expected to enhance the company presence in biogas markets.
In October 2017, Wartsila acquired Puregas Solutions, the Sweden based provider of turnkey biogas upgrading solutions. The acquisition will provide Wärtsilä with added equipment and expertise in biogas upgrading and is also anticipated to enhance the company’s market share in the biogas market.
In February 2019, Hitachi Zosen Inova AG acquired Jönköping’s Biogas Plant. This acquisition will allow the company to commence the investment and construction of a new, larger and more advanced, plant in Sweden. The new facility will be based on HZI’s dry fermentation technology “Kompogas” and utilise the HZI BioMethan in-house membrane biogas upgrading technology.
