September 22, 2021. The Nordic gas filling station network expands as Gasum opens yet another filling station in Norway. Located in Trondheim municipality, the station has an ideal location in the middle of a logistic hub for heavy-duty traffic, that integrates Gasum’s gas filling station network in the Oslo region together with northern parts of Sweden such as Östersund and Umeå. The new station offers both liquified and compressed gas, responding to the growing demand of low emission fuel solutions in Norway.
The new gas filling station is part of a cooperation between Gasum and Norwegian cooperative retail chain Coop. It will be used to supply also Coop with renewable biogas for its transport partners and help reduce emissions from heavy transports. The station is public and open for all logistic players.
“We are very excited to see our joint efforts with Coop be realized, and the station open and supplying the area’s logistic actors with biogas and natural gas. I am extremely happy to see considerable interest towards gas in Norway indicated by major logistic players. By expanding the Nordic gas filling station network, we can also provide new opportunities for local companies to substantially lower their emissions. This is Gasum’s northernmost gas station in Norway and, as such, will open new routes for companies driving on gas,” says John Melby, Director Traffic Norway at Gasum.
Supplying both compressed and liquefied gas, the station answers to the increasing interest towards gas among Norwegian transport companies. A recent study commissioned by Gasum reveals that up to 45% of the companies are interested in gas as a fuel option. Norwegian transport companies consider gas a cost-effective way to reduce emissions and above all to convey a positive image of the company to both current and potential clients.
