Gasum has signed a share purchase agreement for 100% of the shares in Hærup Biogas ApS, which owns and operates a biogas plant in the northern part of mainland Denmark.
Currently the plant mainly uses manure to produce approximately 40 GWh biogas which is used for power and heat production at the biogas plant itself and at local district heating company Klejtrup Varmeværk. Further, Gasum plans to invest in a gas upgrading unit and a gas grid connection for the plant to fully utilise the existing production capacity.
Mika Wiljanen, CEO of Gasum says: ‘Acquiring Hærup Biogas allows us access and deeper insight into the Danish biogas market. Denmark is an attractive location for biogas production because of its strong agricultural sector: manure feedstock availability is good, fertilizer demand is high and transport distances are short.’
