Gasum expands filling station network in Southern Finland

The new site will strengthen Gasum’s network of gas filling stations in the Central Uusimaa region.

Energy company Gasum is strengthening its gas filling station network in Southern Finland by building its first site in Järvenpää, in the Boogie business district. The gas filling station, expected to open by the end of 2020, will enable drivers to fill up with compressed natural gas and biogas.

“The station in Järvenpää will be excellently located and has clearly been one of the most anticipated. It’s good news that the station will at last become a reality. The station will provide a diverse range of services for passing traffic and will be a good addition to our existing network of stations in the neighboring areas of Hyvinkää, Riihimäki and Porvoo. We believe the station will also attract heavier-duty delivery vehicle transport,” says Olli Paasio, Director, Traffic Finland, at Gasum.

The City of Järvenpää is striving for carbon neutrality by 2035 as part of the Resource Wisdom Järvenpää project, and the new filling station will contribute to promoting this objective.

”We’re delighted that a site for a gas filling station was found in a business district alongside the main approach road to Järvenpää. Gasum is an excellent example of a company that supports Järvenpää’s Resource Wisdom objectives through its actions,” adds Susanna Aramo, Business Service Manager at the City of Järvenpää.

Recent years have seen rapid growth in the popularity of gas cars in Finland, where the number of gas-fueled vehicles almost doubled in 2019.
