Project Overview
Europe aims for climate neutrality by 2050, with Lithuania investing in renewable energy. A new biogas plant in the Šakiai district, supported by state funding, will utilize EnviThan membrane technology to produce 675 Nm³/h of biomethane.
Decarbonization Efforts
Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia have been independent of gas imports since 2022 and are advancing decarbonization in other sectors. Lithuania's Ministry of Transport has partnered with Germany and Japan to promote e-fuels with near-zero CO₂ emissions.
Timeline and Production
The gas upgrading plant, produced at EnviTec's Saerbeck site, is set for delivery by April 30, 2026. Once operational, it will feed biomethane into the local high-pressure gas pipeline, with potential use in the fuel market.
