Visit at Lithuanian Energy Institute

On the 11th of October, Jörgen Held visited Lithuanian Energy Institute in Kaunas. The institute is a Pre-BASIC Biogas project partner and the visit included discussions regarding the BASIC Biogas application to the South Baltic Sea Programme as well as a study tour in the well-equiped LEI laboratories.

The director of innovations at the Enerstena Group, Ralfas Lukoševičius, participated also in the BASIC Biogas discussions.

The Lithuanian Energy Institute is the national energy research body and has close to 300 employees, and 11 laboratories with top modern equipment. LEI provides accredited services related to material research and testing, and liquid and air metering.

The SmaRTGas Baltic project

On the 30th of October the SmaRTGas Baltic seminar took place in Malmö, Sweden. The seminar was financed by the Swedish Institute and arranged by Renewtec AB, Sweden in close collaboration with Tallinn Technical University, Lithuanian Energy Institute and Institute of Power Engineering, Poland.

SmaRTGas stands for Small Scale Renewable Methane Technologies based on Gasification and is focused on thermochemical conversion of biomass and waste to biomethane in the ~10 MW scale.

International experts and technology providers highlighted the ongoing technology development while representatives from Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and the European Biogas Association presented the market situation in the Baltic area and in Europe.

Biomethane through thermochemical conversion of woody biomass and waste offers many opportunities of relevance for the Baltic Sea Region since it transfers indigenous low quality resources including wastes into a renewable high quality transport fuel with superior emission data. Biomethane can be produced with the highest conversion efficiency of all second generation biofuels and distributed in an environmentally friendly way through the natural gas grid. Replacing diesel and petrol with biomethane has many advantages such as positive effects on the air quality, the greenhouse gas mitigation, the security of supply, regional development and new job opportunities.
