On October 15, Gasum officially opened Norway's largest biogas station in Bærum, west of Oslo, expanding biogas availability in the country. The Skui station, developed with Eiendomsspar, offers both compressed and liquefied biogas. It serves logistics and long-distance transport along the E16 motorway. This is the seventh LBG site in Norway, and the 50th in the Nordic region Gasum plans more stations in 2025.
Strategic value
For ColliCare, this station holds significant strategic value, as it is positioned along one of our key transport routes from our domestic terminal to southern and western Norway. This aligns directly with ColliCare's sustainability goals of reducing emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2040.
About 70% of our road transport emissions come from long-haul logistics, making biogas a critical component of our strategy to cut emissions. The technical maturity of biogas, combined with the long range provided by LNG vehicles, offers an effective solution for reducing emissions in this segment. This is part of our broader initiative to phase out diesel trucks for long-haul transport and replace them with biogas-powered vehicles, alongside electric alternatives.
Increases flexibility
The addition of more biogas filling stations, such as this one, provides increased flexibility to balance supply and demand. This will help reduce waiting times at stations, directly translating into cost savings and time efficiency for our operations. With quicker access to refueling, we can optimize our logistics routes, minimizing delays and enhancing overall productivity.
Sustainable logistics
The event, which aimed to promote biogas adoption, featured speeches from Gasum executives and local officials, attracting media attention. We showcased two of our biogas trucks, highlighting our commitment to sustainable logistics.
The station supports Norway's climate goal of reducing carbon emissions by 55% by 2030. Gasum aims to deliver 7 TWh of biogas annually by 2027, cutting CO2 emissions by 1.8 million tons annually. The new station supports the aim for a future of fossil-free transport in the Nordic region.
