During Biogasmax, one overall objective is to create one interconnected regional biomethane market in eastern Sweden.

To be able to produce more biomethane, Stockholm needs sources other than the City’s own municipal wastewater sludge. The municipality-owned company, Stockholm Water, currently produces biomethane for Stockholm. Initially, the company will optimize production. This will be done in cooperation with Svensk Biogas. New sources for production can be provided by the agriculture sector. By using a mix of sludge, waste and crops, more gas can be produced. The Växtkraft company in Västerås has already attempted to mix feedstock and has achieved good results. This demonstration will serve as a basis for a regional scenario to be developed during the project.

A subproject, the Biogas Highway, has been designed. The Biogas Highway project aims at building biomethane filling stations in connection with highways E18 and E20. The purpose is to facilitate the use of biomethane vehicles between the western and eastern parts of Sweden. AGA Gas and Fordonsgas will finance the Biogas Highway, which will be completed in 2007.
