The Finnish government approved a new national strategy in the field of energy and climate

According to this document, by 2030 the share of renewable energy in Finland must be 50%. Subsequently, the country plans to completely switch to renewable energy.

To quickly bring those goals to life the Finnish government opens new scheme of subsidising new technologies in the field of renewable energy and especially the production and use of biofuels (biomass).





Additional support will be provided to the agricultural and forestry sectors, as well as the sphere of processing TBO.

In the near future in Finland is expected to increase production of biofuels and more profound processing of wood waste. As you know, Finland is now actively uses wood chips in the energy sector. However, in apply, and peat fuel. The government of Finland, under pressure from the European Union will gradually reduce the proportion of peat (which is not considered renewable) and replace it with wood fuels. Biofuels should become more competitive than peat.

The use of coal in power generation must be stopped completely by 2030. The government will no longer subsidize this sector of the economy. By contrast, subsidies will be directed at power plant that uses wood chips for the production of both heat and electricity.





In addition to solid types of biofuels, Finland will support the production of biogas and investing in the development of a biogas infrastructure in the country. It is planned to slowly move away from gasoline cars and convert vehicles to biogas.

To fear for unsustainable use of the rich Finnish forests – not worth it. The country is taking measures for the protection of forest plantations and sustainable forest management. Experts from Finland often come to Russia with the purpose of transferring Russian foresters the Finnish experience gentle and cost-effective forest management. published
