St1 and St1 Biokraft have provided the fuel to Terntank's Tern Ocean at Quay 519 in the Port of Gothenburg's Energy Harbour.

"In order to accelerate the maritime sector's transition, it is essential that all actors across the value chain pull in the same direction, cooperate, and translate ambitions into practice. We are pleased to have all of this in place at the Port of Gothenburg," said Therese Jällbrink, Head of Renewable Energy at the Port of Gothenburg.

She furthered, "Liquefied biomethane is an important part of the fuel palette that must be available to support the shipping industry's transition. It is one of the fuels the Port of Gothenburg is working with within the framework of green shipping corridors, aimed at creating the conditions for fossil-free logistics chains. This bunkering operation brings us another step closer to our ambition of becoming Scandinavia's primary bunkering hub for alternative fuels."

In 2026, Nordion Energi will build a liquefaction facility for biomethane at the Swedish seaport, connected to the West Sweden gas grid. "Once the liquefaction plant is completed, we will have a solid solution in place at the Port of Gothenburg. This is a strategic step towards our goal of scaling up and offering competitive liquefied biomethane to the shipping sector, thereby taking a leading position in this segment," commented Ted Gustavsson, Head of Value Chain at St1 Biokraft.
