Wallenius Sol joins Gasum’s FuelEU Maritime Pool, switches vessels to liquefied biogas

Ro-roWallenius Sol has partnered with Gasum to join its FuelEU Maritime pool as compliance generators, enabling the company’s dual-fuel vessels to produce regulation surplus while operating on bio-LNG. The move allows Wallenius Sol’s customers to benefit from low-emission transport and helps shipowners avoid costly penalties under new EU carbon-intensity regulations.

Starting October 2025, Wallenius Sol’s BALTIC ENABLER and BOTNIA ENABLER have transitioned from LNG to liquefied biogas (LBG), produced from Nordic residual streams. LBG is chemically identical to LNG but fully renewable, reducing life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% and supporting customers’ Scope 3 reporting.

“This transition is a clear milestone for Wallenius Sol and proof that renewable fuels are ready for use today,” said Rebecca Tagaeus, Chief Sustainability Officer at Wallenius Sol. Jacob Granqvist, VP Maritime at Gasum, added that pooling “is a simple and effective way for maritime actors to collaborate on lowering industry emissions, with 2025 compliance capacity filling fast.”

The partnership marks a key step in Wallenius Sol’s Climate Roadmap, aiming for fully renewable operations by 2035 and zero harmful environmental impact by 2045. Through the Gasum agreement, the company can secure a steady supply of LBG and fully replace LNG across its fleet, benefiting both the environment and customers’ sustainability goals.
