Bio-LNG Horizon Scanning

This study will assess the current scale and maturity of Bio-LNG production across GB and Europe to understand the market’s readiness for wider deployment. This includes identifying the economic, technical and regulatory barriers that could limit progress, and evaluating where suitable biomethane is available for liquefaction along with cost benefit analysis.

SGN operate four remote mainland Statutory Independent Undertakings supplied by tankered LNG from the Isle of Grain. The role of Bio-LNG in supporting network resilience and influencing decarbonisation pathways will be examined. Finally, the economic viability of different operating models to determine the most effective route for future Bio-LNG development. Ultimately, this study will inform a strategic decision on SIU decarbonisation options and inform potential for future Bio-LNG ‘islands’ across GB networks as a means of decarbonising.
