Bioenergy in Finland Finland is one of the leading bioenergy countries in Europe Share of bioenergy 20 % of total energy consumption Share of bioenergy 85 % of renewable energy sources Share of bioenergy 11 % of electricity production

Share of bioenergy in some OECD countries, 2001 Source: IEA Statistics 2003

Renewable energy sources in Finland, 2002 TJ Firewood (logs and chips) Bark Sawdust Forest chips, ind Ind. wood residues Construction and demolition wood Pellets and briquettes 468 Other 72 Black liquor Renewable energy sources TJ 23 % of total primary energy 51,3 % 31,3 % 17,4 %

Targets of Revised Action Plan for Renewable Energy

Measures to promote bioenergy and other renewable energy sources Research, development and commercialisation of new technology Economic incentives –Taxation –Investment subsidies –EU – Emissions trading Legislation, regulations, guidelines Information, training, motivation

Renewable energy targets for 2010 Energy source 2001 (PJ) 2010 Small scale wood (not forest chips) 45,8 1,2-times Forest chips 9,4 4-times Small scale hydro power 4,1 2- times Heat pumps 2,7 2,5- times REF (RES-part) 1,0 10- times Bio gas 0,75 6- times Wind power 0, times Solar energy 0, times Agribiomass, liquid biofuels 0 (5 PJ) RENEWABLE ENERGY TOTAL 317 (7,6Mtoe) 1,3-times

Potential in forests side products of forest industries harvesting for energy use competition between energy and material use (chip board, fibre board)

Potential in agriculture Set-aside areas food or energy, depends on markets which form of energy is most effective Finnish target: 10 % in energy production mostly in CHP amount of biofuels
