Nordic energy company Gasum has opened a biogas filling station west of Oslo, significantly expanding its biogas infrastructure in Norway.
The biogas filling station, built in cooperation with landowner Eiendomsspar, offers compressed and liquefied biogas in response to an increased demand for sustainable fuels in Norway.
The Skui station is Gasum’s seventh LBG filling station in Norway and the 50th LBG filling station in the Nordic countries.
The station is strategically located west of Oslo along the E16 highway serving logistics companies in the region and facilitating long-haul traffic between Oslo and the west coast of Norway.
Gasum plans to construct more filling stations during 2025 between Oslo and Bergen to enable fossil free transport solutions between Oslo and Bergen.
Gasum collaborated with landowner Eiendomsspar and logistics company Gunnar Knutsen to open the station. Gunnar Knutsen has been testing the filling station since August. The filling station is now open to all users.
“We are very excited to expand our network of gas filling stations in Norway. This is an important step in continuing to develop the infrastructure around Oslo and make it possible to drive on biogas all over southern Norway by the end of 2025. I am happy to see considerable interest in biogas in Norway by major logistics players. By expanding the Nordic gas filling station network, we can also provide new opportunities for local companies to substantially lower their emissions,” said Jogeir Munkeby, sales manager, traffic Norway at Gasum.
