GoBiGas (Gothenburg Biomass Gasification Project) is a major Göteborg Energi project to build a plant for biogas production via the gasification of biofuel and waste from forestry. At optimal production, the plant will deliver upwards of 800 - 1 000 GWh, which corresponds to fuel provision for between 80,000 – 100,000 cars.
The fuel for the GoBiGas plant is wood chips produced from forestry residue such as slash and branches.
