More Biogas Småland AB

What More Biogas Småland AB does

More Biogas Småland AB is a privately held Swedish aktiebolag founded in February 2011, headquartered in Läckeby (Kalmar County), that owns and operates the region's only large-scale co-digestion biogas plant. The facility, located in Mosekrog adjacent to the E22 highway, processes up to 100,000 tonnes per year of substrate — primarily cattle and pig slurry plus solid manure from 16 local farms, and source-separated food waste from 5 of 8 Kretslopp Sydost member municipalities — into compressed vehicle-grade biomethane (fordonsgas) delivered at 250 bar. Technically, the plant combines two thermophilic digesters (8,000 m³ and 2,000 m³, 28-day retention after the 2022 Klimatklivet upgrade), a Purac CApure chemical-absorption gas-upgrading module achieving >99% methane purity and 0.1% methane slip, Lobe solid-manure handling, an on-site process laboratory, and a 250-bar compression train.

The business operates through three revenue streams: (i) direct retail of compressed biogas at the company-owned GASMACK station on E22 (publicly priced at 23.10 SEK/kg as of the latest disclosed data), accepting Din-X fuel cards and standard payment cards; (ii) bulk distribution via an automated six-trailer (lastväxlarflak) exchange system managed by ST1 to other regional filling stations; and (iii) a direct supply contract with Region Kalmar (Regiontrafiken) for the regional bus fleet, anchored by a signed local climate agreement that commits More Biogas to a 5 GWh production increase and substrate-mix optimization. A fourth, secondary revenue stream is the sale or return of nutrient-enriched digestate (biogödsel) to participating farms, completing a closed-loop circular model across ~3,500 hectares of arable land.

Governance is via a 21-stakeholder cooperative ownership structure, in which 15 farmers collectively hold approximately 42% (up from ~35% at founding), alongside Purac, Kalmar Energi, Famax AB, CA Fastigheter, Läckeby Water AB, Hund Holding, and two private investors. Plant operations are conducted through a joint operating company, More Biogas Småland Drift AB, formed in 2015 with Kalmar Biogas AB, which provides 24/7 on-call process-technician coverage in collaboration with Purac PureGas and OPC. The company is led by external CEO Denniz Erol and chairman Kjell Axelsson, employs between 11 and 50 people, and has cumulatively displaced 25 million liters of petrol with biogas between 2014 and 2024.

Revenue model

1. Biogas Fuel Sales at Own Station: Sale of compressed biogas (fordonsgas) directly to vehicle owners at the company's own public fueling station (GASMACK) in Mosekrog, Läckeby. Price per kg is publicly listed. Accepts Din-X fuel cards and standard payment cards.
2. Bulk Biogas Sales via Flak Distribution: Bulk compressed biogas sold via exchangeable gas trailer platforms (lastväxlarflak) with automatic switching system. Distribution handled by ST1 to other filling stations in the region, primarily serving buses and cars in the Kalmar area.
3. Public Transport Fleet Supply: Direct supply agreements with regional public transport authority (Region Kalmar) for compressed biogas powering their bus fleets.
4. Biogödsel (Bio-fertilizer) Return: Processed digestate (biogödsel) returned to contributing farms, completing the circular economy loop. Biogödsel contains higher plant nutrient content than raw manure, particularly more available nitrogen. Sold or provided to farms including as a product for external customers.

Core offering

More Biogas Småland AB operates a co-digestion biogas plant in Mosekrog, north of Kalmar, Sweden, producing compressed vehicle-grade biomethane (fordonsgas) from agricultural manure and source-separated food waste. The company sells the compressed biogas through its own public fueling station (GASMACK), through bulk distribution partner ST1 to regional filling stations, and via direct supply to public transport bus fleets. It also returns nutrient-rich digestate (biogödsel) as biofertilizer to participating farms in a circular economy model.

Product overview

More Biogas Småland AB operates a biogas production facility producing compressed vehicle fuel (fordonsgas) through anaerobic digestion of manure and food waste. The integrated system consists of five interconnected process modules: Substrat (input processing), Rågas (anaerobic digestion in two digesters), Gasuppgradering (CApure CO₂ removal technology), and Leverans (compression and distribution). The company operates its own public gas station (Gasmack) and produces biofertilizer (Biogödsel) as a byproduct returned to member farms. Production capacity reaches 30 GWh annually from 100,000 tonnes of substrate input.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Gasum: Nordic energy company with significant biogas production and a broad distribution network including filling stations. Overlaps with More Biogas on vehicle-fuel distribution and public-transport supply.
• Scandinavian Biogas: Larger Nordic biogas producer with multiple AD and gas-upgrading facilities across Sweden and Norway. Same RNG-for-transport value proposition but at greater scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Nature Energy: Large Danish AD/RNG operator processing agricultural and industrial organic waste into upgraded biogas. Comparable technology stack and end-markets, though operating primarily in Denmark.

Regional players

• Hofor: Danish municipal multi-utility operating AD plants producing upgraded biogas for heat, power and transport. Comparable in municipal-utility ownership structure but operating in a different national market.

Others

• Kretslopp Sydost: Municipal waste-management organization that supplies food waste feedstock to More Biogas. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a competitor; could be a feedstock partner for any peer expansion.
• ST1: Nordic fuel retailer and major distribution channel partner for More Biogas via the regional filling-station network. Comparable in vehicle-fuel retail but broader in product portfolio (fossil and renewable).
• Purac PureGas: Technology partner and co-owner providing the CApure gas-upgrading technology used at the facility. Comparable enabling-technology participant in the Swedish biogas value chain.

Direct peers

• Biokraft: Nordic biogas producer focused on liquefied biogas (LBG) from organic waste. Similar feedstock base and upgrading-to-vehicle-fuel thesis, with a complementary LNG distribution model.
• Kalmar Biogas AB: Adjacent biogas producer sharing a joint operating company (More Biogas Småland Drift AB) with More Biogas. Closest comparable by feedstock type, technology, and geographic base in Kalmar.
• Swedish Biogas International: Swedish biogas/RNG producer operating multiple AD plants upgrading biogas to vehicle fuel. Direct competitor in the Swedish fordonsgas market with comparable end-customers (public transport, fleets).
