Gasum opens new liquefied gas station in Sweden
The company now operates a gas refueling network of over 50 stations across the country as part of its goal to help reduce emissions throughout the mainland.
Gasum has opened a new liquefied gas filling station in Växjö, Sweden, offering renewable liquefied biogas (LBG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The company can now provide both compressed and liquefied gas to transport companies operating across the nation, from the northernmost parts to the southern regions. As its 22nd station in the country, the new opening has extended its network to over 50 fueling sites.
Currently, there are almost 1,000 heavy-duty vehicles driving on liquefied gas in Sweden, making over 2,200 vehicles taking into account the heavy-duty industry.
"We are thrilled to strengthen our filling station capacity in Växjö, enabling an increasing number of logistics operators to reach their emission targets by switching to cleaner, more cost-effective fuels. The Växjö station is the fruitful outcome of a partnership between Alwex Transport and Gasum that enables a new corridor connecting Sweden's East and West coasts," says Sharareh Edström, Head of Business Sweden, Traffic at Gasum.
Sweden’s national target is to reduce emissions by at least 70% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels and Gasum is investing on stations and trucks to help the nation to reach this target.
