Gasum Sells Lahti Biogas Upgrading Unit to Nevel in Supply Chain Restructure
Finnish gas company Gasum has sold its biogas upgrading unit in Lahti to energy company Nevel, with the transaction taking effect on June 23. Under the arrangement, Nevel takes ownership of the upgrading unit and will manage the full value chain from raw biogas production through upgrading, while Gasum continues to purchase all of the resulting biomethane under a long-term agreement and feeds it into the gas network. The companies said the change will have no impact on customers.
Nevel had previously supplied raw biogas to the unit from its adjacent Kujala plant, which processes around 90,000 tonnes of biodegradable waste, sewage sludge, and industrial side streams each year and produces roughly 50 GWh of biogas. Nevel, which acquired the biogas plant from Labio in 2025, plans to invest in renewing operations to improve efficiency and expand upgrading capacity. Gasum retains ownership of the gas grid connection and associated container unloading station.
