In Finland, Gasum announced that from August 30, its Finnish filling stations will exclusively offer biogas, ceasing the sale of natural gas. This transition aligns with customer preferences, as nearly all have been choosing biogas over natural gas due to competitive pricing.
Juho Kurra, Vice President of Transport Finland at Gasum, emphasized the company’s confidence in the availability of biogas for future road transport. “Gasum’s strategic goal is to briskly increase the supply of renewable gas in the Nordic markets and thus enable low-emission transport by land and sea,” Kurra stated.
Gasum will modify its stations to remove natural gas price markings and options from automatic filling machines by the end of August. The company currently operates 45 gas filling stations in Finland, with a new station set to open in Rauma this autumn.
Biogas usage significantly reduces transport emissions, cutting fuel lifecycle emissions by an average of 90% compared to traditional fossil fuels like diesel. Gasum, the largest biogas producer in the Nordic region, operates 17 biogas plants in Finland and Sweden and aims to bring seven terawatt-hours of renewable gas annually to the Nordic market by 2027.
