Gasum has opened a new gas filling station in Rauma, Finland, which serves both passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles.
As the local port and industry bring heavy-duty traffic to Rauma, Gasum said it is now possible to reduce emissions via biogas.
The station provides both liquefied and compressed gas, which means that both passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles can be refueled at the station.
Like Gasum's other filling stations, the Rauma station only sells biogas, as the distribution of natural gas at all Gasum filling stations in Finland ended at the end of August.
With the opening of the new station, Gasum will offer companies operating in the area the opportunity to switch to low-emission transports using biogas, said Juho Kurra, head of business, Transport Finland, Gasum.
"Heavy-duty transport operators in particular have requested a gas filling station in Rauma, as it is an important logistics hub. The region has a busy port and a lot of industry, including forestry. The station also serves transport traffic along the Finnish west coast very well, as it is located in the immediate vicinity of highway number eight," said Kurra.
Gasum's strategic goal is to bring seven terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable gas per year to the Nordic market by 2027, which is approximately four times more than at present.
The amount would mean an annual total emission reduction of 1.8 million tons of carbon dioxide for Gasum's customers.
