The grant will help Gasum in opening up to 16 new gas filling stations in strategic locations in Sweden in the coming years.

It also supports Gasum’s objective of establishing a Nordic gas ecosystem, offering liquefied biogas (LBG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Finland, Sweden, and Norway.

In the future, the company believes, that gas will play a major role in the transition to a carbon neutral society.

"It brings us closer to our goal of reducing emissions from road transport and moving towards a low-carbon future," said Jukka Metsälä, Vice President, Biogas, Gasum.
