Eskilstuna Biogas

What Eskilstuna Biogas does

Eskilstuna Biogas AB (EBAB) is a Swedish private limited company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Västerås, building a large-scale liquefied biogas (LBG) production facility at Kjula 7:6, adjacent to Eskilstuna Logistikpark with access to Svealandsbanan rail and road 899. The facility is designed for an annual capacity of up to 70 GWh (approximately 5,400 tonnes of LBG, equivalent to roughly 7 million liters of diesel) and is scheduled to enter digestion tank filling in Q3 2026, with full commissioning targeted for autumn 2026. Core technology is anaerobic digestion of manure and organic residues (notably food waste supplied by EEM) followed by biogas upgrading and liquefaction, producing two output streams: LBG and Biogödsel (biofertilizer).

Commercially, EBAB operates as a B2B supplier anchored by long-term offtake agreements. The headline contract is a 10-year agreement with Destination Gotland expected to cover approximately 10% of the ferry operator's fuel needs in support of its 'Destination Zero' decarbonization target. The second leg is a circular-economy partnership with Eskilstuna Energi och Miljö (EEM), where EEM delivers food waste substrate and offtakes biogas to fuel municipal waste collection vehicles and local public transport. A secondary revenue stream is digestate biofertilizer sold to local farmers as a substitute for imported synthetic fertilizer. Distribution is direct, regional, and field-sales-led.

The project stack has been financially turbulent: Naturvårdsverket withdrew the previously approved Klimatstödet grant, causing work to pause; EBAB refinanced via a shareholder bridge loan, attracted approximately $16.2M of Nordic Investment Bank financing, and is appealing the grant withdrawal. The company has no disclosed revenue at present and is classed as operating but in pre-production state.

Revenue model

1. Liquefied Biogas (LBG) Sales: Sale of liquefied biogas produced from anaerobic digestion of organic waste. The biogas is sold as a direct replacement for fossil natural gas, primarily to maritime, transport, and industrial customers under long-term supply agreements.
2. Biofertilizer Sales: Sale of digestate (biogas fertilizer) produced as a byproduct of the anaerobic digestion process to local farmers, replacing imported synthetic fertilizers.

Core offering

Eskilstuna Biogas AB (EBAB) is establishing a liquefied biogas (LBG) production facility in Kjula, south of Eskilstuna, Sweden. The facility uses anaerobic digestion of manure and organic residues (such as food waste) to produce LBG, a renewable replacement for fossil natural gas targeted at maritime, transport, and industrial customers. As a byproduct of digestion, the facility produces biofertilizer (biogödsel) sold to local farmers to replace imported synthetic fertilizers.

Product overview

Eskilstuna Biogas operates a single unified biogas production facility that produces two interconnected products: LBG (Liquid Biogas) as the primary product and Biogödsel (Biofertilizer) as a byproduct. The facility processes manure and organic residues through controlled digestion to produce liquid biogas (up to 70 GWh annually) for use in shipping, vehicle traffic, and industry, while the resulting biofertilizer is supplied to local farmers as a replacement for imported synthetic fertilizers.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Eskilstuna Energi och Miljö (EEM)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2026EEM delivers substrate in the form of food waste to EBAB's biogas facility where it is digested to produce biogas. The produced biogas will power the municipality's waste collection vehicles and local public transport, creating a circular economy loop where municipal waste becomes renewable energy.
• Destination Gotland (Gotlandsbolaget)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2026Destination Gotland, the ferry operator between Gotland and mainland Sweden, has signed a 10-year agreement with EBAB. The production from EBAB's facility in Kjula is expected to cover approximately 10% of Destination Gotland's fuel needs over this period, supporting their 'Destination Zero' climate goal for more vessels with eco-friendly fuels such as LBG.
• AndioncoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerAndion is a project partner providing expertise in biogas plant development. With over 50 biogas plants delivered in the past 20 years, Andion brings engineering and construction capabilities from initial concept to full-scale commercial facility. They are also developing a project outside of Västervik and recently completed an expansion in Skogn, Norway.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Scandinavian Biogas: Scandinavian Biogas is one of the largest producers of liquefied biogas (LBG) in Sweden and operates large-scale AD-to-LBG facilities, making it the closest direct competitor to Eskilstuna Biogas in the Swedish LBG market.
• Nature Energy: Nature Energy is the largest biogas producer in Denmark, operating multiple large-scale anaerobic digestion plants that upgrade biogas to RNG and supply industrial and transport offtakers — directly comparable to Eskilstuna Biogas's AD-to-LBG model.
• Biokraft: Biokraft is a Nordic producer of liquefied biogas from anaerobic digestion, supplying maritime and industrial customers. It is a direct regional competitor with similar feedstock sources, scale, and end-markets as Eskilstuna Biogas.
• Solör Bioenergi: Solör Bioenergi produces and distributes solid biofuels and operates biogas-related assets in Sweden, competing for municipal and industrial renewable-heat and renewable-fuel customers in overlapping Swedish regions.
• Green2x: Green2x develops, owns, and operates biogas plants in Sweden using agricultural and organic waste as feedstock, making it a direct Swedish competitor focused on the same AD-based biogas value chain as Eskilstuna Biogas.

Broad incumbents

• Gasum: Gasum is a major Nordic gas supplier with a growing biogas and LBG business, supplying transport and maritime customers across the Nordics. It competes with Eskilstuna Biogas in LBG offtake markets and operates at much greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Stockholm Exergi: Stockholm Exergi is a large Swedish district-heating and energy utility that produces and uses biogas among other renewable sources. While broader than EBAB, it represents an incumbent that competes for organic-waste feedstock and renewable-energy offtake in the Swedish market.
• Air Liquide (Nordic biogas operations): Air Liquide operates biogas upgrading and supply infrastructure in the Nordics through its subsidiaries and partnerships, supplying RNG to transport and industrial customers as part of a broader industrial-gas and renewable-energy portfolio.

Regional players

• Öresundskraft: Öresundskraft is a regional Swedish energy utility that produces and supplies biogas in the Öresund region. It is comparable as a regional municipal-energy-company biogas producer, though it does not directly compete in Eskilstuna Biogas's Södermanland geography.

Others

• Andion (AndionCH4): Andion is Eskilstuna Biogas's EPC and project-development partner with 50+ biogas plants delivered over 20 years. As an adjacent infrastructure provider, it is comparable as an enabling partner / supplier rather than a direct competitor.
