Dutch Maritime Bio-LNG Project Receives EU Funding
(Bioenergy Insight) FirstBio2Shipping, working with Attero BV and Bio-LNG Hub Wilp, has received funding from the European Commission to develop bio-LNG as a marine fuel.
The project aims to decarbonise the maritime sector by demonstrating the first industrial plant producing renewable, low-carbon bio-liquefied natural gas ‘in a standardised and scalable fashion’, enabling the cost-effective substitution of heavy fuel oil.

The plant, to be developed by FirstBio2Shipping and its partners, consists of a gas treatment unit, a bio-LNG polishing and storage unit and a carbon capture unit. At the core of the process is a novel technology called iLNG. This integrated system aims to overcome challenges such as low bio-LNG qualities, for example, those containing amines, high methane slip (due to CO2 venting), high temperature demands in gas treatment technologies and high costs for the disposal of wastewater and toxic chemical waste.
The demonstration plant aims to produce 6 million Nm3 per year of biogas, 2,400 tons per year of biomethane and 5,000 tons per year of bio-CO2. The project would reduce GHG emissions by 92% compared to a reference scenario. READ MORE
