Gasum has opened its newest gas filling station, the northernmost filling station selling liquefied gas in the world, in the Finnish city of Rovaniemi. Gasum has already opened two other gas filling stations in Lapland, one in Keminmaa, Finland, and the other in Luleå, Sweden.
The new station is located at the address Energiakatu 5 in the Teollisuuskylä industrial village area of Rovaniemi near the E75 road south of Rovaniemi city center. The location is excellent for traffic heading both north and south from Rovaniemi.
The station has been much wished for and serves both heavy-duty vehicles and passenger cars – the station sells both liquefied and compressed gas.
”The station in Rovaniemi is an important addition in the expansion of Gasum’s filling station network in Lapland. It is now possible to significantly reduce emissions from road transport in Northern Finland, too, with trucks operating on biogas instead of fossil fuels. Gasum’s goal is to enable the use of gas on all long-haul logistics routes in Finland and Sweden," says Juho Kurra, Head of Business, Traffic Finland, Gasum.
