There are risks in the business
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
changes in taxation or support mechanisms
that will place gas in a less favourable position
against other types of energy, including as a
result of changes in legislation
reduction in the political acceptability of
natural gas
focus on the fossil origin of gas
possible problems in integration into the
European network
limited opportunities to influence public
decision-making
availability of competent personnel;
difficulties in strategy implementation and
company renewal
production and operational safety, including
occupational safety

In any case,
Gasum aims at a sustainable tomorrow
STRATEGIC THEME: SUSTAINABLE TOMORROW
Today
2015
Fossil-based
power plant fuel
Sustainable and
versatile gas
Cleaner
local environment
Enabled by natural gas
Sulphur and particulate
emissions are not
in the political eye.
Natural energy gases are the primary fuel
for transport and energy production.
Cleaner Baltic Sea
Enabled by LNG
Ships are fuelled by oil.
LNG is a clean maritime fuel.
Cleaner climate
Enabled by biogases
Competitiveness
Natural gas is the most
and networks
energy-efficient
and cleanest fossil fuel.

Innovation for sustainable tomorrow
•
•
•
In 2012 we invested strongly
on the development of our
innovation process
An INTO blog was opened for
our personnel on the Gasum
intranet, where any Gasum
employee can present their
ideas for new products and
services and Gasum’s
operational development
In autumn 2012 Gasum
launched ‘Hyvän ilman lintu’
innovation competition that
sought to open Gasum's
innovation activities up to
external stakeholders as well

Investments for sustainable tomorrow
Biogas facility in Mäkikylä, Kouvola
•
•
•
The facility started to inject biogas to
the grid on October 2011
Total capacity 15 GWh/a, biogas
injected to grid 7 GWh/a
Feedstock: Municipal biowaste, sewage
sludge and grass silage from the
Kymenlaakso and neighboring areas
Biogas facility in Suomenoja, Espoo

14.5.2013, RATKAISUN PAIKKA 2013
Gasum
The facility started to inject biogas to
the grid on December 2012
The Suomenoja wastewater treatment
plant processes wastewater originating
from the municipalities of Espoo,
Kauniainen, Kirkkonummi and Vantaa
The new upgrading facility produces
up to 20 GWh of biogas every year

Projects for sustainable tomorrow
A biorefinery for biogas production
in Joutseno
•
•
The biorefinery would produce biogas
by gasification of renewable wood raw
material, such as forest chips and bark
The production capacity of the planned
refinery would be 200 MW,
generating annually 1 600 GWh of
biogas
LNG terminal, Inkoo or Porvoo

Gasum
Gasum is exploring the feasibility of
constructing a large import terminal in
Southern Finland
The LNG import terminal would
diversify gas supply and connect
Finland with the international gas
market
LNG offers a cost-efficient way to
ensure the security of energy supply
