Gasum and the Norwegian Road Transport Association (NLF) have entered into a cooperation agreement to highlight biogas as one of several green energy solutions for the green transition. This will be done through the promotion of biogas and its benefits to replace fossil diesel.Gasum, a leading Nordic energy company, and the Norwegian Road Transport Association (NLF) have officially entered into a strategic cooperation agreement aimed at advancing the role of biogas in Norway's green energy landscape. The collaboration, effective from January 1, 2024, seeks to position biogas as a prominent
There are around 2,000 cargo ships with an estimated 25,000 seafarers sailing on the Baltic Sea at any given time. The greywater and sewage generated on these vessels can be legally discharged into the Baltic Sea. How could this wastewater be used in the circular economy? How much renewable biogas could be produced from ship-generated wastewater? Gasum aims to determine the volume of wastewater ending up in the Baltic Sea and to study the potential to use it in biogas production. Under its Baltic Sea Commitment, Gasum is participating in the BSAG Ship Waste Action, which began in last year

Sewage from cargo ships may be legally discharged into the Baltic Sea, although it accelerates eutrophication. The Baltic Sea Action Group is bringing together cooperation parties for the new Ship/t Waste Action project that produces biogas from sewage discharged by ships at the port.The cooperation promotes the circular model of turning sewage into biogas that will be used as fuel by heavy traffic. The Ship/t Waste Action cooperation develops waste value chains between different parties, and the port of HaminaKotka is the first location.
“We can achieve our objective of a cleaner Baltic
Gasum and Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, have agreed on cooperation in biogas processing at the biogas part operating as part of Metsä Fibre’s Äänekoski bioproduct mill. Metsä Fibre will be responsible for the plant’s overall operations, whereas Gasum will be responsible for the daily remote operation and maintenance of biogas processing. Gasum will buy the biogas produced at Metsä Fibre’s plant for use as a road transport fuel in the company’s filling station network.The Äänekoski biogas plant is owned by Metsä Fibre and will use wood-based sludge from the bioproduct mill to produce
Energy company Gasum and Finnish company Hycamite TCD Technologies are to study the decarbonization of natural gas and biogas. Natural gas and biogas mostly consist of methane and Hycamite’s technology decomposes the methane molecules in gas into its elemental components, clean hydrogen and pure carbon with no emissions. Pure carbon can be used as a raw material in e-vehicle batteries, for example, and hydrogen can be used in clean energy production and as an industrial raw material.Cooperation between Gasum and Hycamite aims to study the markets and applications for decarbonized natural
