Jönköping Biogas, SWE

The Jönköping biogas plant, completed in 2020, uses Kompogas^® dry anaerobic digestion and downstream biogas treatment to process regional biowaste and provide buses and garbage trucks in the city of Jönköping with upgraded biogas in the form of bio-CNG. The organic fertiliser produced in the process is used in local agriculture and thus ensures a practical circular economy.

Jönköping was Kanadevia Inova's second DBOO project after San Luis Obispo. As the owner, Kanadevia Inova took on the design, construction and operation of the plant. The majority of the project financing was provided by Kanadevia Inova together with the Swedish Green Investment Fund “Klimatklivet”.

The Jönköping plant uses organic waste to generate biogas and upgrades it to create biomethane in the form of a renewable fuel for carbon-free transportation.

This is done by means of membrane-based gas permeation. The biogas-based natural gas is injected into transport containers and taken to two CNG filling stations. It meets the requirements of the usual standard for vehicle gas and is used to fuel natural-gas-driven vehicles operated by a regional waste management company, buses in the local public transport system and gas-driven cars. Besides filling equipment, the CNG filling stations have a booster compressor and the infrastructure for emptying the gas transport containers. The facility for buses was designed as a slow filling station for overnight use, and the other as a regular fast filling station.
