EnviTec Biogas is accelerating Lithuania’s renewable energy push with its first EnviThan gas upgrading plant in the country. The new facility, serving a dairy farm and dairy plant in the Šakiai district, will produce 675 Nm³/h of biomethane—equivalent to 6.29 MW.
“Our customer is relying on the comprehensive expertise of our EnviTec Biogas team and EnviThan membrane technology for the construction of the gas upgrading plant with a capacity of 675 Nm³/h of biomethane (6,29 MW),” said Egidijus Semeta, Service Manager at EnviTec Biogas Service Baltic SIA.
Semeta emphasized the broader significance for the region: “Such investments are an important step for the Baltic region in reducing its use of fossil fuels.”
While Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia have been independent of gas imports since 2022, they continue to push decarbonization across other sectors. Lithuania, for instance, signed a 2024 joint declaration with Germany and Japan to promote e-fuels with near-zero CO₂ emissions.
The plant, manufactured at EnviTec’s Saerbeck site, is scheduled for delivery before April 30, 2026, in line with funding guidelines. Once operational, it will feed biomethane into the local high-pressure gas pipeline. “The biomethane produced from cattle manure and slurry is intended for export and can also be used in the fuel market,” added Stefan Laumann, Head of Gas Upgrading at EnviTec Biogas.
With over 15 years of experience in the Baltic market, EnviTec has built multiple plants in the region, including seven in Latvia between 2009 and 2013 and four gas upgrading projects in Estonia since 2019.
The Lithuania plant represents another step in EnviTec’s growth trajectory, reinforcing its role as a leading player in biogas and renewable fuel production in Europe.
