Metso to deliver gasification technology for renewable gas production to Göteborg Energi AB, Sweden
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on February 8, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. local time
Metso will supply a gasifier to sustain new gasification technology to Göteborg
Energi AB's innovative project GoBiGas20MW. The value of the order is
approximately EUR 30 million, and the order was already included in Energy and
Environmental Technology's Q4/2010 orders received. The gasification demo plant
will be operational in early 2013.
The project GoBiGas20MW is focusing on producing biogas by gasification of
biofuels and waste from forestry. A demo gasification plant is scheduled to be
built in two stages to demonstrate the technology of the green gas concept.
Ownership and responsibility for operating the plant will be transferred to
GoBiGas AB (Gothenburg Biomass Gasification Project), mainly owned by Göteborg
Energi AB. Metso will be involved in the first stage when the gasification plant
(20MW gas) is built on the existing premises of Rya Värmecentral in Gothenburg,
Sweden, during 2011-2013. On a commercial scale the final plant will have a
capacity of approximately 100 MW biogas with an operating period of 8 000
hours/year.
The Metso gasification solution is based on new licensed technology for indirect
gasification developed by Austrian company REPOTEC. With forest residue and wood
pellets as main fuels, the gasification system, together with the subsequent
methanation and up-grading system, will produce high-calorific gas, biomethane,
for distribution in the existing gas grid.
"We see a huge market potential for biogas in replacing fossil alternatives and
our mission is to show that gasification can play an important role in biogas
supply", says Åsa Burman, CEO of the GoBiGas project. "The quality of the
gasification is essential for the success of the project and with the equipment
from Metso together with the selected methanation and gas-upgrading technology
we are now able to proceed to the next step, building the plant in order to meet
our targets to replace natural gas by synthetic natural gas - from fossil energy
to renewable energy".
Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for mining,
construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the pulp and paper
industries. We have about 28,500 employees in more than 50 countries.
