Gasum has appointed Lowina Lundström as Vice President, Biogas, with effect from 1 December 2026. She will lead the development of the company’s biogas business and join its Group Management Team.
Lundström joins Gasum from EIT InnoEnergy, where she has been serving as CEO Scandinavia for past three years. In that role, she managed a portfolio of clean energy companies, investments and shareholder relations.
Commenting on her appointment, Lundström said she was interested in European energy policy and collaboration across the energy sector to advance the energy transition. She described biogas as an important part of that transition and said Gasum was well positioned to contribute to its development.
Gasum CEO Mika Wiljanen said developing the company’s biogas business was a strategic priority. He cited Lundström’s experience and business expertise as important assets in guiding the business forward.
The appointment places biogas development under a new leadership role within Gasum’s senior management structure. Lundström’s responsibilities will include business development, while her membership of the Group Management Team will bring the biogas business into the company’s wider strategic decision-making.
Gasum’s biogas growth strategy
The leadership change comes as Gasum pursues a strategy for 2026–2030 that places scaling up biogas production and sourcing among its priorities. The company has said it aims to expand biogas availability to customers and respond to expected growth in market demand.
In March 2026, Gasum announced investment decisions for two additional large-scale biogas plants in Sweden, each planned to produce 120 GWh of biogas annually from agricultural waste. The company’s wider strategy also focuses on improving operational efficiency and strengthening its position in the sustainable energy market.
Bioenergy Business Analysis
Lundström’s appointment signals the importance Gasum is placing on developing its biogas business as part of its broader energy strategy. Her background spans clean-energy investment management and electricity-system operations, bringing experience from both the commercial and infrastructure sides of the energy transition.
For the biogas sector, the appointment comes at a time when producers are seeking to expand supply and serve demand across transport, industry and other energy markets. Gasum’s planned Swedish capacity additions provide a practical indication of its growth ambitions, while the new leadership role is intended to support the development of that business.
