Gasum is collaborating with Equinor on a series of liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) bunkering operations in the Port of Dusavik, Stavanger. Gasum is bunkering ISCC-EU certified mass balanced bio-LNG to Equinor’s chartered platform supply vessel Island Crusader, according to the company's release.
The first bio-LNG delivery was successfully carried out mid-July. Gasum will continue to supply Island Crusader with 2–3 truckloads of bio-LNG approximately every other week. Each truckload contains about 22 tons of bio-LNG.
The Island Crusader also features battery hybrid technology, which further improves its environmental performance.
Gasum’s goal is to offer 7 TWh of renewable gas to its customers yearly by 2027, including biomethane and e-methane. A large portion of this volume relies on establishing long-term partnerships with trusted and certified biogas producers throughout Europe.
Achieving this goal would mean combined carbon dioxide reduction of 1.8 million tons per year for Gasum’s customers.
Gasum is able provide bio-LNG bunkering services to all shipping companies that have vessels running on liquefied natural gas as LNG and bio-LNG are fully interchangeable. They can also be mixed at any ratio.
