Gasum, Scania open biogas filling station in Sweden

Nordic clean energy company Gasum, in partnership with commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania, has opened a biogas filling station in Sodertalje, Sweden, Gasum announced on May 27.

The station is located near the Sodertalje Syd junction and adjacent to Scania’s production plant. It features two compressed gas dispensers and two liquefied gas dispensers, catering to both heavy-duty transport and smaller vehicles.

"Biomethane is an important part of Scania's broad sustainability offering, providing cost-efficient emission cuts, as well as several circular benefits and increased energy resilience. The Nordics have pioneered biomethane in transport. Together with our partners, we can offer complete waste-to-vehicle solutions,” said Christian Levin, CEO of Scania and Traton.

According to Gasum, in order to stay aligned with Sweden's roadmap of achieving a 70% reduction in transport emissions by 2030, using 2010 as the baseline, it is imperative to leverage solutions like biogas.

“This partnership with Scania is important as they are providing land for this project and continue to develop gas-powered trucks. It enables us to continue to expand and secure energy supply for sustainable solutions," said Sharareh Edström, Head of Business Traffic Sweden at Gasum.
