Gasum opens the first gas filling station in Umeå, Sweden
The Nordic gas filling stations network is expanding as Gasum opens its 9[th] gas filling station in Sweden. The station is the first one in Umeå and serves both heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) and passenger cars. It is also an important part of Gasum’s plan to build a network of 50 gas filling stations for HDVs by the early 2020s in the Nordics. The growing network opens further opportunities to answer to the increased demand for low emission road transport.The new gas filling station is in an area with heavy traffic where fuel consumption is high and the need for clean fuel solutions is rising
The Nordic gas filling station network continues its rapid growth as energy company Gasum opens a new station in Mariestad, Sweden. This is Gasum’s seventh liquefied gas filling station for heavy-duty vehicles in Sweden, and the first Gasum filling station in Västra Götaland. This filling stations is a part of Gasum’s expanding network planning to have a network of 50 filling stations for heavy-duty vehicles by the early 2020s in the Nordics as the demand for cleaner fuel solutions continues to grow.The new gas filling station in Mariestad, Sweden will go into service on December 13. The
A recent survey analyzed how environmental issues are viewed by Finnish and Swedish heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) fleet owners. According to the results, customers’ environmental expectations have increased in both Finland and Sweden, and 82% of fleet owners in both countries agree that an environment-focused mindset is a permanent phenomenon and not a passing trend. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied biogas (LBG) are low-emission fuel alternatives for road transport that are also cost effective.The Nordic energy company Gasum commissioned Value Clinic to conduct a survey on how Finnish
Kuusakoski, a pioneering Finnish company in the recycling business, started using its first compressed natural gas (CNG) truck in early September. Gas is a low-emission alternative to conventional fuels and has a key role in reducing emissions in transport. The use of gas-fueled vehicles has grown at speed in the logistics sector.The number of gas-fueled vehicles has grown at an amazing rate in the heavy-duty transport sector. The autumn saw Kuusakoski, a pioneering player in the recycling sector, start to use its first gas-fueled truck, which serves customers in the Uusimaa region.
Growing numbers of transport companies are renewing their fleets to make them more environmentally friendly as Gasum expands its filling station network. NCS Finland Oy, a transport and logistics company, and its subcontractor Pinecape Oy brought into use a liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueled Volvo tractor unit in July. The use of LNG in transport can reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of the fuel by more than 20% compared with diesel.The EU’s ambitious emissions targets to curb climate change also create a challenge for logistics companies to reduce transport emissions. The
Heavy road transport across the EU is increasing. At the same time, emissions need to be cut fast. The energy company Gasum is investing strongly into the expansion and development of the Nordic gas infrastructure and offering cleaner fuel solutions for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs). Today Gasum inaugurated its fourth gas filling station in Sweden. The new station is located in Torsvik, just south of Jönköping, and it offers liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied biogas (LBG) for HDVs.In early 2019, the European Union presented new emission reduction standards for HDVs. According to the new
The growth of the Nordic gas filling station network continues today, as the energy company Gasum opens its third station in Sweden. The new station offers liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied biogas (LBG) for heavy-duty vehicles in Örebro, where Gasum also has a biogas plant. In 2019, the goal is to expand Gasum’s filling station network for heavy duty vehicles to 20 stations, with 12 of the stations located in Sweden, enabling the further development of the Nordic gas infrastructure, while accelerating the transition to cleaner energy.Heavy road transport is increasing and today
Gasum and IKEA Finland are stepping up their collaboration during 2019: Gasum will open a gas filling station in conjunction with the IKEA store in Raisio. In addition, the aim is to open stations at the Kuopio and Tampere stores later on this year. The gas filling stations already in operation in conjunction with IKEA stores in Lommila, Espoo, and Porttipuisto, Vantaa, have been very popular among consumers. Since their opening, the new stations have provided clean fuel to cover a distance of more than 4 million km driven and reduced CO2 emissions from transport by around 600 tonnes compared
Gasum’s collaboration with DB Schenker deepens as two Finnish transport companies operating for DB Schenker, Sepi Trans Oy and K&O Tiilikainen, started to use tractor units fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) in early 2019. LNG is an efficient way to reduce emissions from heavy-duty transport. Both companies are excited about their new gas-powered towing engines.Finnish transport companies operating deliveries for DB Schenker have taken new LNG-powered tractor units into service during early 2019. DB Schenker is a global transport and logistics company whose choices play an important role
The number of gas-fueled cars increased again in Finland. There were several factors behind gas being more commonly used as a fuel, such as willingness to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from transport and the highly popular campaign offering biogas at a fixed price. The scrapping incentive and support for gas car conversions introduced at the start of 2018 have also contributed towards the increase of gas-fueled cars in Finland. According to the latest estimates, there are around 6,700 gas-fueled vehicles on Finland’s roads.The year 2018 saw a continuation of the huge increase in driving
The Finnish dairy manufacturer Valio’s first biogas-fueled delivery vehicle was taken into service in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area in September. Valio also takes part in biogas production by supplying waste generated in food production to Gasum’s biogas plants.For many years, Valio has been testing a variety of vehicles using environmentally friendly fuels. The biogas pilot started this autumn was inspired by Valio’s circular economy thinking where the aim is to recover the waste generated in dairy production. In addition to taking part in biogas production, Valio is also introducing a
