据能源全球2月2日消息称，Gasum正在通过制定新的环境目标来减缓气候变化，以实现碳中和。该公司寻求增加沼气的可用性，以达到累计减少100万吨碳排放。到2025年，该公司计划通过自己的产量和获得认证的欧洲合作伙伴的产量，向市场提供4 TWh的沼气。在自己的业务中，Gasum的目标是减少液化天然气和沼气生产链的排放，并实施能效措施。
Gasum首席执行官Johanna Lamminen表示：“责任是Gasum战略的关键要素。我们与我们的合作伙伴和客户一起，不断开发新的方法来减少排放。近年来，我们在公路运输、海运和工业中增加了天然气的可用性，从而帮助我们的客户减少自己的碳足迹。天然气为实现减排提供了显著的成本效益选择。”
减少排放的一个重要途径是在道路和海上运输中增加可再生沼气的使用，并在今后的工业中增加使用。Gasum的目标是到2025年通过将沼气生产和采购增加到4TWh来提高沼气的可用性。这将使其有可能实现累计减排100万吨。此外，该公司已经设定了在其自身业务中每年减少1%的液化天然气和沼气生产链排放的目标，并打算在2025年前实施能效措施。
Gasum正在通过建设新工厂和增加从其他运营商的生产工厂采购沼气来提高沼气的生产能力和可用性。该公司现在在芬兰有9家沼气厂，在瑞典有6家沼气厂。2020年，它收购了瑞典斯科夫德的沼气厂（每年40 GWh）。芬兰的罗赫亚沼气厂（每年40 GWh）于2021年1月投入商业生产，瑞典尼莫拉沼气厂（每年75 GWh）将于2021年进入商业生产。
沼气是一种可再生能源，可以从多种可生物降解的废物中产生。沼气生产是充分利用原材料，促进循环经济的一个很好的例子。与化石柴油相比，在道路运输中使用沼气作为燃料有助于减少高达90%的二氧化碳排放。Gasum是北欧最大的沼气生产商之一。
Lamminen表示：“Gasum还在北欧大力投资其他可再生气体的生产开发，如合成甲烷和绿色氢。例如，我们目前正在与其他能源运营商合作，探索建立一个生产合成甲烷的试点工厂的可能性。”

Gasum plans to significantly increase biogas production
Gasum is progressing towards carbon neutrality by setting new environmental targets to mitigate climate change. The company seeks to increase the availability of biogas to reach cumulative carbon emission reductions of 1 million t. By 2025, it intends to make 4 TWh of biogas available on the market from the company’s own production and that of certified European partners. In its own operations, Gasum aims to reduce the emissions in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and biogas production chains and to implement energy efficiency measures.
"Responsibility is a key element in Gasum’s strategy. Together with our partners and customers, we are continuously developing new ways to reduce emissions. Recent years have seen us increase the availability of gas in road transport, maritime and industry, and have thereby helped our customers to reduce their own carbon footprint. Gas delivers significant cost-effective options to reach emission reductions", says Gasum’s Chief Executive Officer, Johanna Lamminen.
An essential way of reducing emissions is to increase the use of renewable biogas in road and maritime transport and, going forward, increasingly in industry. Gasum aims to boost the availability of biogas by increasing biogas production and procurement to 4 TWh by 2025. This will make it possible to reach cumulative emission reductions of 1 million t. In addition, the company has set the target to reduce the emissions in LNG and biogas production chains by 1%/yr in its own operations, and intends to implement energy efficiency measures by 2025.
Gasum is boosting biogas production capacity and availability by building new plants and increasing the procurement of biogas from the production plants of other operators. The company now has nine biogas plants in Finland and six in Sweden. In 2020, it acquired a biogas plant (40 GWh/yr) in Sk?vde, Sweden. The Lohja biogas plant (40 GWh/yr) in Finland entered commercial production in January 2021 and the Nym?lla biogas plant (75 GWh/yr) in Sweden will enter commercial production during 2021.
Biogas is a renewable energy source that can be produced from many kinds of biodegradable waste. Biogas production is a good example of fully utilising raw materials and promoting the circular economy. Use of biogas as a fuel in road transport can help to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil diesel. Gasum is one of the largest producers of biogas in the Nordics.
"Gasum is investing heavily also in the production development of other renewable gases such as synthetic methane and green hydrogen in the Nordics. For example, we are currently working with other energy operators to explore the possibility of building a pilot plant for the production of synthetic methane", says Lamminen.
