Gasum Builds Three New Biogas Refueling Stations to Support Finland’s Transition to Low-Emission Heavy Transport

Gasum Strengthens Finland’s Renewable Transport Infrastructure with New Biogas Stations in Ylivieska, Raseborg, and Joensuu

(IN BRIEF) Gasum has begun construction on three new biogas filling stations in Ylivieska, Raseborg, and Joensuu, strengthening Finland’s renewable transport infrastructure. The new stations, expected to open early next year, will expand Gasum’s network to 23 LBG refueling sites for heavy-duty vehicles. The Raseborg site will serve all gas vehicle types with both LBG and CBG, while Ylivieska and Joensuu will enhance access for heavy transport in key regions. Guided by customer demand, the expansion supports Finland’s goal of nationwide low-emission logistics. With biogas capable of cutting emissions by up to 90 percent compared to fossil fuels, Gasum continues to lead efforts to decarbonize heavy transport and promote renewable energy use across the Nordics.

(PRESS RELEASE) ESPOO, 6-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Gasum is further expanding Finland’s biogas infrastructure with the construction of three new filling stations, reinforcing its commitment to enabling low-emission transport across the country. The new facilities—located in Ylivieska, Raseborg, and Joensuu—mark another milestone in Gasum’s nearly decade-long effort to build a comprehensive refueling network for heavy-duty vehicles powered by renewable gas.

Construction work began in early October, with all stations expected to open at the start of next year. The new Ylivieska station will provide liquefied biogas (LBG) for heavy-duty transport, while the Raseborg site will offer both LBG and compressed biogas (CBG), making it accessible to all types of gas-powered vehicles. In Joensuu, Gasum is upgrading its existing CBG station to include LBG refueling for heavy-duty vehicles, improving accessibility in Eastern Finland.

Upon completion, Gasum’s network will include 23 LBG stations serving heavy transport operators across Finland. These investments, guided by close collaboration with customers, aim to make low-emission logistics available on all major Finnish transport routes.

“We’ve listened closely to our customers’ needs and have focused on building a network that best serves them,” said Juho Kurra, Head of Business, Traffic Finland, Gasum. “Thanks to consistent investment and development, our station network has grown substantially, bringing us closer to achieving our goal of enabling low-emission transport nationwide.”

The new stations are strategically positioned to strengthen biogas availability along key routes. The Raseborg station supports transport flows to Finland’s southernmost port in Hanko, Ylivieska connects routes toward Oulu and the broader Ostrobothnia region, and Joensuu enhances biogas accessibility in Eastern Finland—an area previously underserved by LBG infrastructure.

As more logistics companies and transport buyers shift toward renewable energy, Gasum’s efforts play a crucial role in achieving both corporate and national emission reduction goals. Biogas, produced entirely from renewable waste streams such as sewage sludge, biowaste, and industrial residues, can reduce lifecycle emissions by up to 90 percent compared to fossil fuels.

Gasum’s long-term objective is to expand the supply of renewable gas across the Nordic market, helping more businesses transition to cleaner energy and contribute to a sustainable future for heavy road transport.
