November 15, 2023. The gas filling station in the city of Rovaniemi will make low-emission transports with biogas possible across most of Finland. The station is also long anticipated by private gas car drivers, as it will enable travel around Lapland.
The station in Rovaniemi is an important addition in the expansion of Gasum’s gas distribution network for road transportation in Northern Finland and in particular in Lapland. Stations in Northern Finland enable low-emission transports by gas-powered trucks for an increasing number of logistics companies.
“Once the Rovaniemi station is completed, gas-powered heavy-duty transport will be possible across most of Finland. We aim to enable transport with biogas on all long-haul routes in Finland and Sweden. From the goods haulage perspective, Rovaniemi is centrally placed both for traffic in Lapland and transport in Finland as a whole,” says Juho Kurra, Head of Business, Traffic Finland, Gasum.
On completion, the Rovaniemi station will be the world’s northernmost filling station selling liquefied gas. Gasum recently opened its northernmost filling station to date in Kemi.
The new station is located at the address Energiakatu 5, in the Teollisuuskylä industrial area near the E75 road. The location is excellent for traffic heading both north and south from Rovaniemi.
