The biogas plant that never got off the ground
In 2012, Söderhamn Nära, a Swedish municipal company, decided to be a trailblazer and started building a biogas facility at a cost of SEK 9 million, aiming to run the municipality’s vehicles on the gas produced. However, the plan never came to anything.
“The plant produced lovely clean gas but not very much of it,” says the then chair of Söderhamn Nära. Attempts to sell the plant to another energy production company failed, but in the end a farmer stepped in and bought it for SEK 40,000.
