Gasum to exclusively distribute biogas at Finnish gas stations

Nordic gas company Gasum announced on July 31 that, starting at the end of this summer, only biogas will be distributed at its gas filling stations in Finland.

"In Finland, customers of Gasum's filling stations have already been buying almost exclusively biogas for some time now. Natural gas sales will end at filling stations on August 30," the company stated.

“Almost all of Gasum’s filling station customers in Finland have been choosing biogas for a couple of years now, as the price has been competitive compared to natural gas. Today, the availability of biogas is so good that it is no longer necessary to keep natural gas as a backup alternative at stations,” Gasum added.

Throughout August, Gasum's stations will undergo modification work, including the removal of natural gas price markings from pylons. On August 30, natural gas will be completely removed from automatic filling machines as an alternative.

Gasum currently operates 45 gas filling stations in Finland, with the next one set to open in Rauma in the autumn. Seventeen of these stations sell liquefied gas, including the upcoming Rauma station.

Gasum is the largest biogas producer in the Nordic countries, with 17 biogas plants in Finland and Sweden. The company also imports biogas from other European countries.

In the near future, Gasum plans to offer e-methane, a synthetic and very low-emission gas produced with renewable electricity. E-methane is directly suitable for equipment and machinery already running on natural gas, biogas, liquefied natural gas, or liquefied biogas.

Gasum's strategic target is to bring 7TWh/year of renewable gas to the Nordic market by 2027, four times more than today.
