From the end of this summer, only biogas will be distributed at Gasum's gas filling stations in Finland.
Almost all of Gasum’s filling station customers in Finland have already been choosing biogas for a couple of years now, as the price has been competitive compared to natural gas.
Gasum said the availability of biogas is so good that it is no longer necessary to keep natural gas as a back-up alternative at stations.
"We have invested in increasing the availability of biogas, and now we can be confident that biogas will continue to be readily available for road transport also in the future. 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," said Juho Kurra, vice president, transport Finland, Gasum.
During August, Gasum's stations will undergo modification work in which, for example, natural gas price markings will be removed from pylons.
On 30 August, natural gas will be completely removed from automatic filling machines as an alternative.
Gasum currently has a total of 45 gas filling stations in Finland, and the next one will open in Rauma in the autumn.
