For the SAF platform<\/a><\/strong>, we have prepared material on the state of the biogas industry in some Nordic countries: Finland, Norway, and Sweden<\/strong>. In recent years, the use of biogas\/biomethane as fuel for vehicles has grown rapidly<\/strong> in all three countries.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These data are based on a report by IEA Bioenergy<\/strong><\/a> on biogas and biomethane production in a number of member countries of the International Energy Agency (IEA)<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the total recovered energy production from biogas was about\u00a0905 GWh from 129 different biogas production plants<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

In Finland, biogas has traditionally been used in\u00a0power and heat production<\/strong>, but in recent years vehicle fuel use has increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Norway,\u00a0739 GWh of biogas was produced in 2022, representing a marginal increase of 4% since 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The number of fueling stations in Norway has increased rapidly the last few years<\/strong>. The distribution of fueling stations is primarily in the eastern part of Norway<\/strong>, with some biogas fueling hubs in and around some of the larger cities such as Trondheim, \u00c5lesund and Stavanger.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There were\u00a0284 biogas plants<\/strong>\u00a0operating in Sweden in 2022, producing in total\u00a02.279 TWh of biogas<\/strong>. There were\u00a071 biomethane upgrading plants<\/strong>\u00a0in Sweden in 2022 producing\u00a01.47 TWh biomethane<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

In 2022, 67% of the produced biogas was upgraded and used mainly as transportation fuel, due to a favorable support system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
