About the Biogas Facility Our biogas facility is located in a rural setting along Route 52 just outside Katrineholm. The facility plays an important role in the transition to a more circular and sustainable society by converting organic waste streams into renewable energy and valuable plant nutrients. The facility primarily co-digests manure together with waste and by-products from agriculture and the food industry in the surrounding area. Through the biological process, biogas is produced and then upgraded to vehicle gas quality in a water scrubbing facility. The finished gas is compressed and distributed to customers via gas cylinders. As an important part of the circular economy, the nutrient-rich biogas digestate is returned to local farms, where it replaces mineral fertilizer and contributes to more sustainable agriculture. The operation thus creates benefits for the climate, the region's food production, and the local economy. The facility is characterized by close collaboration with farmers, food industries, and transport customers in the region. As plant manager, you will have the opportunity to lead an operation of great importance for the green transition and help further develop a facility that combines industrial production with locally rooted circular economy thinking.
