Come and listen to Tommy Mattila Vice President, Industry and Traffic at Gasum

Without negating the advances in alternative powertrains such as hybrid electric for aviation, energy dense liquid fuels will remain as the dominant alternative, and perhaps the only option for long-haul flights. At least for the foreseeable future as investments in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by commercial airlines would suggest.
For shipping and road transportation, the palate of powertrain options and hybrid combinations is significantly enlarged. Biomethane (aka renewable natural gas – RNG) is one such option. Available in compressed- and liquefied forms – bioCNG and bioLNG respectively, it is entirely compatible with its fossil counterpart making it a true drop-in fuel as Tommy Mattila, VP Transport & Industry, Gasum will discuss in the International Industrial Biofuels Development session on September 20.
In the Nordics, Finland-headed energy company Gasum Oy has emerged as a major producer of RNG and distributor of fossil gas and RNG, not least for the marine- and road transportation sectors. Over the last few years, the company has building out RNG production capacity as well as gas refuelling stations across Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
Currently numbering over 50, the latter are strategically located at main logistical hubs enabling RNG powered heavy-duty vehicle transportation across the width and breadth of the Nordics. For shipping, Gasum has completed a number of bunkering firsts including bioLNG truck-to-ship in Norway, and bioLNG/LNG ship-to-ship in Sweden.
