I would like to remove the beam in the middle of the garage and understand that I need to replace it with something. What is the best thing to do? I would prefer not to lose any ceiling height.
Would it work to place an I beam along the horizontal beam and just support it at the ends? Here are pictures so you can see how it looks.

Since it is a concrete beam you have, it needs to be supported in the middle as someone has calculated.
If you want to relieve it, you must place another beam under it that takes the load from the entire beam and then transfer it down with posts on the outside as you intended. You lose ceiling height.
The alternative is to shore up the sides and remove the entire beam and put in a new one in iron or wood and transfer it down at the walls.

set the stamp flush with the beam.
but you must do as eld says first. maybe it can't be removed

what kind of bjälklag is it?
cast beams and columns. laid there (light) concrete slabs. probably
if so, a joint can also be located on that particular beam.

have you checked with the konstruktör?
it might be difficult with the demolition of the column. a lot of weight might rest there. what does it look like in the rooms above?
drawings would have helped

the layout on the bearing layer. either they are full length (=no joint) or short (=joint)
check with the konstruktör.
