3.7.6 OFFGRID MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF LNG AND BIOGAS

Gasnätet Stockholm is a regional gas grid not connected to the transmission grid. It consists of two parts – one grid for households and industries, and one for vehicles. The grid is supplied by trucks with LNG (from the LNG terminal in Nynäshamn) and by three biogas facilities. In 2015, 65,000 customers in the grid was supplied by more than 200GWh natural and biogas. There are a few more small gas grids in Sweden not connected to the transmission grid. They usually have one or a few biogas facilities supplying the customers. Since the biogas and LNG markets are foreseen to grow in Sweden, more regional gas grids may be needed in the future to augment the current transmission grid in south-western Sweden.
