LoCaGas part of a joint ISBP workshop under European Sustainable Energy Week

Interreg South Baltic Programme (ISBP) is organising a joint workshop featuring  four energy project; LoCaGas, BioSolFarm, Re-Farm and WAW – What a Waste.
The event has been recognised as a Sustainable Energy Day — actually the first in Poland and the second in the Baltic Sea region for 2026 🎉
The event information has been published on the European Commission website for the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW):

Dual fuel engine meeting

On the 26th of January, Lund University, NSR AB and BEIC met in a combined physical and online meeting to discuss the upcoming dual fuel engine experiments.

Lund University is subcontracted by NSR AB to conduct tests with pyrolysis oil as pilot fuel in a Scania engine modified to operate in dual fuel mode.

The participants were:
Marcus Lundgren, Lund University, who will start a new position at Maersk.
Sam Voncken, Lund University who will conduct the experiments
Per Tunestål, Lund University, professor in combustion engines
Kent Davidsson, NSR AB, who will provide the pyrolysis oil
Jörgen Held, BEIC, who will monitor the experiments

Start up of gas engine

The installation and commissioning of the gas engine at Lithiuan Energy Institute (LEI) is in good progress.

LEI has started the gas engine on natural gas and will step by step move forward with low calorific gas and oxygen-enriched combustion air.

Combined LCA and TEA tool

Within the LoCaGas project, University of Rostock (UROS) is developing a combined life cycle analysis (LCA) and tecno-economic analysis (TEA) tool for utilisation of landfill gas with low methane content.

Today, 14th of November 2025, Sven Mauch, who did the coding, presented the tool for Robert Aranowski (Gdansk Tech.), Jörgen Held (BEIC) and Ibrahim Rahmouni (UROS).

Realistic data obtained in the pilot testing will be introduced to the tool.

Installation of gas engine for oxygen-enriched combustion

Within the LoCaGas project, Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI) in collaboration with UAB Addeco is working on oxygen-enriched combustion of landfill gas with low methane content for green power production.

The testing will be done with a 30 kWel genset from TEDOM.

The genset, gas engine and generator, was received at the end of April, unpacked and moved to the lab and pilot testing container.
