World’s Largest BioLNG Plant Opens in Norway (with help from LP)

As recently reported by NVG Global News, the world’s largest bioLNG plant, featuring Puregas Solutions technology, has been officially opened by Norwegian Prime Minister, Erna Solberg. The biogas upgrading and liquefaction plant was installed at the Norske Skog Skogn paper mill. The plant will convert the cleaned biogas from fishery waste and residual paper mill slurry into liquid bioLNG fuel. You can more about the plant at: http://www.ngvglobal.com/blog/huge-biolng-plant-produces-rng-for-norwegian-public-transport-0903

What’s noteworthy about this opening is that Logistics Plus delivered the largest and heaviest single component late last year – a 24.2m X 5.70m  X 6.00m 105-ton cryogenic gas tank on behalf of our customer Wärtsilä Gas Solutions! How cool is that (It’s the slender vertical tank shown in the picture below). Also included below is an encore video from the LP Project Cargo Team showcasing the move.
