BioGTS Ltd has signed a purchase agreement with Biosairila Ltd concerning the delivery of a biorefinery plant to the City of Mikkeli in Eastern Finland. The biorefinery plant will utilize municipal and agricultural biomass for the production of biogas and fertilizer products. Produced biogas will be upgraded to biomethane and mainly utilized and sold as transportation fuel. The location of the biorefinery plant will be the Metsäsairila waste management company’ site in Mikkeli, Finland.
The production of vehicle biomethane by Biosairila Ltd. will offer an opportunity for car owners to switch to emission-free driving in the area of Mikkeli. The biogas production capacity of the biorefinery will correspond to the annual fuel consumption of more than 1,000 passenger cars.
The biogas refueling network will expand already during autumn 2017, once Biosairila Ltd. opens the biogas refueling station in the connection with shopping mall Graani in Mikkeli. At the beginning, the biogas will be produced at the biorefinery of BioHauki Ltd. in Haukivuori.
The construction works of the biorefinery plant will start at Metsäsairila waste management centre’s site during autumn 2017. The plant will be ready to use at the beginning of 2019.
Total investment equals to about 9.7 million euros. The biorefinery plant has received the investment grant from the Ministry of Employment and the Economy of Finland in the amount of 3.4 million euros.
