Gasum, a prominent Nordic energy company, and the Norwegian Road Transport Association (NLF) have officially initiated a strategic cooperation agreement with the aim of advancing the role of biogas in Norway’s transition towards green energy.
Effective from January 1st of this year, the collaboration aims to elevate biogas as a significant solution in the ongoing green transition, particularly focusing on replacing fossil diesel.
Furthermore, local NLF members and associated companies can enhance their understanding of biogas by inviting Gasum to meetings, as per the agreement terms.
Gasum has committed to actively sharing insights on biogas as a sustainable transport fuel. This collaboration encompasses advocating for improved biogas framework conditions in Norway, engaging with truck suppliers, and participating in events to promote biogas as a green solution.
Kjell Olafsrud, the marketing director at NLF, emphasized, “Under this cooperation agreement, NLF and Gasum aim to highlight biogas as one of several green energy solutions in the green transition. This will happen by promoting biogas and its benefits to replace fossil fuel.”
Jogeir Munkeby, the sales manager for Traffic Norway at Gasum, added, “Biogas is the optimal choice for heavy-duty transport, providing a competitive and proven technology that helps logistics companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Compressed biogas is quick to refuel, making it excellent for local distribution and logistics. Liquefied biogas, on the other hand, offers a high range between refuelings. As of today in Norway, approximately 2,600 trucks use biogas on the roads, with 600 trucks running on liquefied biogas.”
