Avinor, the state-owned airport operator in Norway, has initiated a pilot project at Svalbard Airport to generate electricity and heat using liquefied biogas. The combined heat and power (CHP) plant is intended to meet 100% of the airport's on-site electricity and heating needs once fully operational.

Currently, the project is in a trial phase expected to last around one year. In 2022, emissions from electricity and heating at Svalbard Airport constituted approximately 20% of Avinor's total emissions.
