In Finland, Gasum has announced that starting August 30, its Finnish filling stations will exclusively offer biogas, discontinuing the sale of natural gas. This shift is driven by customer preference, as nearly all customers have been opting for biogas due to its competitive pricing, reported Biofueldigest.
Juho Kurra, Vice President of Transport Finland at Gasum, expressed confidence in the future availability of biogas for road transport. “Gasum’s strategic objective is to rapidly increase the supply of renewable gas in the Nordic markets, thereby supporting low-emission transportation by land and sea,” Kurra noted.
By the end of August, Gasum will update its stations to remove natural gas price indicators and options from automatic filling machines. The company currently operates 45 gas filling stations in Finland and plans to open a new station in Rauma this autumn.
Biogas significantly lowers transport emissions, reducing fuel lifecycle emissions by an average of 90% compared to traditional fossil fuels like diesel. As the largest biogas producer in the Nordic region, Gasum operates 17 biogas plants in Finland and Sweden and aims to supply seven terawatt-hours of renewable gas annually to the Nordic market by 2027.
