A Powerful Partnership

St1 Biokraft is a joint venture between St1, HitecVision, and Aneo, combining expertise and resources to foster innovation in the biogas sector. Our aim is to become a leading integrated biogas provider in the Nordics, making a significant contribution to the energy transition. We cover the entire biogas value chain – from feedstock sourcing to production, certification, trading, distribution, and end-user sales – with a target of 3 TWh biomethane production and 6 TWh biomethane sales by 2030, focusing on heavy transport, maritime, and industrial applications.

Over 1 billion EUR is being invested in biogas infrastructure across the Nordics to support this ambitious growth. Certification and regulatory compliance are central to this expansion – and that’s where you come in.

This is a practical, hands-on operational role that impacts every part of the business – from our production sites to our trading teams and strategic partners in Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Together with your colleagues in the sustainability team, you will drive the development of certification processes and support new business opportunities through deep regulatory expertise. The role is based in Stockholm and reports to the Head oSustainability.
