Gasum signed a long term e-methane offtake agreement with Nordic Ren-Gas
Gasum agreed to buy all of the e-methane, which can be directly used in gas engines currently running on natural gas, biogas, LNG or LBG/Bio-LNG, Nordic Ren-Gas will produce at its power-to-gas plant in Tampere.
The company agreed to buy the annually produced 160 GWh e-methane at Nordic Ren-Gas power-to-gas plant from 2026 and onwards.
Gasum Group CEO Mika Wiljanen said, “This partnership is a massive game changer with the possibility to expand the availability of renewable gas at an industrial scale. Gasum aims to become a significant player in the e-methane market, and this is the first step on that path. The e-methane produced by Nordic Ren-Gas is a competitive renewable fuel, which can be efficiently distributed through our existing infrastructure to our customers in the traffic, maritime and industry segments. Nordic Ren-Gas has an impressive pipeline of similar projects on the way – this is a strategically important partnership for us.”
Nordic Ren-Gas CEO, Saara Kujala added, “We are extremely happy about this offtake agreement and partnership with Gasum, which enables the introduction of e-methane to the market very efficiently. Ren-Gas has been actively building a value chain for e-methane in Finland, for which this agreement is a concrete milestone. Ren-Gas has a development portfolio of several e-methane production projects, and this partnership enables us to accelerate the development of these important green transition projects.”
