Gasum’s bio-LNG sales in maritime saw substantial growth in 2025
A notable driver behind the development has been the FuelEU Maritime regulation that came into force last year.Gasum has seen a significant increase in maritime liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) sales over the last year. The share of biomethane out of all gas volumes sold to Gasum’s maritime customers increased from 0.8% in 2024 to 12.3% in 2025.
The development marks a notable step forward and provides a clear indication that the maritime sector is advancing its green transition.
