BioShare has initiated a comprehensive feasibility study to explore the establishment of a large-scale production facility for biomethane, biochar, and e-methane using residual biomass and renewable electricity. An application for co-funding has been submitted to the Swedish Energy Agency’s Industriklivet program, which supports industrial projects with significant decarbonization potential.
This study represents a key step in demonstrating how existing combined heat and power (CHP) infrastructure can be repurposed and expanded into next-generation biorefineries. Rather than constructing greenfield plants, BioShare’s approach focuses on leveraging and upgrading existing assets—such as boilers, grid access, steam systems, and operator expertise—to produce advanced renewable gases and carbon-rich products that serve sectors beyond electricity and district heating.
Project Scope
The project encompasses three main areas:
- Technical Design & Process Integration
A complete technology configuration will be developed, including BioShare’s proprietary gasification system, syngas cleaning and upgrading, carbon management, and integration of electrolysis for the production of renewable hydrogen. - Site Evaluation & Infrastructure Compatibility
Three potential sites are being assessed based on access to biomass, available infrastructure, energy demand profiles, and readiness for integration with new technologies. The aim is to select the most viable location for a future industrial demonstration plant. - Economic & Sustainability Assessment
The study includes CAPEX/OPEX modeling, energy and mass balances, and climate impact calculations, including potential for negative emissions via biochar production. Product marketability and regulatory considerations are also part of the analysis.
Strategic Importance
The goal is to create a scalable model for how existing CHP plants can transition from mono- or dual-output utilities to multi-output platforms supporting transport, industry, agriculture, grid flexibility and carbon removal. The outcome of the study will form the technical and strategic basis for a subsequent application to Industriklivet for the demonstration phase and ultimately guide an investment decision.
The study runs through summer 2025, with periodic stakeholder engagements and knowledge dissemination planned throughout the process. It stands as a milestone in BioShare’s broader mission to extend the life, value, and climate benefit of every biocarbon atom—and to lead the transformation of the Nordic energy landscape through practical, integrated climate technology.
