Biogas plant development projects

In Finland, a significant investment is aimed at enhancing the Riihimäki biogas plant digestate processing, consequently reducing CO2 emissions by about 500 tons a year. The plant expansion is expected to be operational by the end of 2025. In addition, updates at the Oulu and Vehmaa plants are being carried out.

Our biogas plant in Örebro, Sweden is being modernized and updated to increase the output of compressed biogas (CBG) production by 17 Gwh. The total project modifications underway at Gasum’s biogas plants will boost production by an additional 100 GWh.

In Sweden, Gasum is planning to build several new large scale biogas plants, all of which will produce 120 GWh liquefied biogas (LBG) annually. 

The project in Götene has already been completed and the plant was inaugurated in spring 2025. The similar project in Borlänge is being constructed, with production scheduled to begin in 2026. Projects in Hörby, Sjöbo and Kalmar are in the planning stages.

Meanwhile, in Norway, we are increasing our renewables capacity. A biogas plant project is being planned in the Trondheim region.

Collectively, these new biogas plants in the Nordics will increase our production to approximately 1.6 TWh, highlighting our journey towards a cleaner energy future.

Gasum is also exploring the addition of liquefaction capacity to new projects in Sweden. This technology allows us to process compressed biomethane into a liquid form within our plants, enhancing efficiency and boosting supply.

These strategic initiatives align with Gasum's goal to bring 7 TWh of renewable gas annually to the market by 2027. Achieving this goal would mean a yearly total carbon dioxide reduction of 1.8 million tons for Gasum’s customers, marking an impressive stride towards a brighter, carbon-free future.
