October 7, 2023. Nordic energy company Gasum, which is also Sweden’s largest biogas producer, continues expanding the gas infrastructure in Sweden by opening a new gas filling station in Södertälje. The new station will open in the first half of 2024 and will provide both liquefied and compressed gas. It will be located right next to truck maker Scania near the Södertälje Syd road junction. Both heavy-duty transport and smaller vehicles will be able to refuel at the station.
”Partnership with Scania is perfect from all perspectives. They are at the forefront of gas-powered truck development and the fact that they provided land for this project demonstrates the strength of a shared focus on sustainable solutions and secure energy supply in this growing area,” says Sharareh Edström, Head of Business Traffic Sweden at Gasum.
The new filling station in Södertälje provides improved access to state-of-the-art technology compared to the older existing stations in Järna and Älvsjö, which will be decommissioned. What is unique about this station is that Gasum plans two compressed gas dispensers and two liquefied gas dispensers from the very outset. This is more than the standard design and will allow faster refueling and considerably greater capacity compared to older stations.
Scania’s ambition is to drive the transition to a sustainable transport system and the company is working towards science based climate targets where renewable fuels play an important role.
