St1 opens third biogas refueling site in Finland
Located in the city of Halikko, this new site builds on the company’s goal to create a Nordic biogas refuelling network of over 50 stations by the end of 2028.
St1 opened its third liquefied biogas (LBG) refuelling point in Finland at a Shell station located in Halikko, Salo.
During this year, the company’s goal in the country is to also introduce LBG filling locations in other Finnish cities, such as Hirvaskangas in Äänekoski, Voutila in Vantaa, Iisalmi and Tupos in Liminka.
The biogas sold at these stations will initially come from the Swedish production plants of St1 Biokraft, a joint venture of the company. When the new production plants of Suomen Lantakaasu Oy, owned by Biokraft and Valio, are completed in 2026, domestic biogas will also be available for distribution.
“Going forward, we will be able to serve our customers on a ‘one stop shop’ basis, with different gas and fuel qualities in our range. As part of our own energy transition, we are also investing in the development of our distribution network in renewable HVO diesel and fuel oil as well as in a high-power charging network for electric vehicles", said Juha Vanninen, Retail Director at St1.
In Sweden, the company already has an extensive network of compressed biogas (CBG) refuelling stations, and in Norway, the aim is to deploy the first three LBG refuelling points during 2025.
St1 is investing in expanding the distribution network of liquefied biogas – with the aim to build a Nordic LBG refuelling network of more than 50 stations by the end of 2028.
