Gasum also has a biogas plant in Örebro, which produces renewable energy and manufactures ecological biofertilizer from biodegradable feedstocks, mainly originating from the local agricultural sector. The company is planning to invest in developing the existing biogas plant in Örebro into liquefaction of the biogas to increase production capacity.

Locally produced LBG with high climate efficiency will soon be made available.”
