Energy company Gasum switches to renewable electricity in all operations
The Nordic energy company Gasum has switched to renewable electricity in all of its operations from the start of 2018. All of the electricity consumed by the company (150 GWh) is generated from Nordic hydropower. In its Corporate Responsibility Program, Gasum is committed to action against climate change and promoting the transition to a low-carbon society.
Gasum has been using renewable electricity partially already since 2017 but made a full switch to renewable electricity in all of its operations from the start of 2018. The electricity is generated from Nordic hydropower. A significant proportion of the electricity sourced goes to the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Risavika, Norway.
Mitigating climate change at the core of responsibility work
”Switching to renewable electricity was a strategically natural choice for us. Promoting cleaner energy solutions together with our customers is at the core of our operations as a company. We’ve also made a commitment to the Energy Efficiency Agreement for Industries aiming to reduce energy consumption,” says Minna Tolonen, Sustainability Manager, Gasum.

”Renewable electricity can be sourced without changing current electricity contracts as the origin of electricity is verified with Guarantees of Origin.
