The Bioenergy Association of Finland – Bioenergia ry

Bioenergy makes up 76% of Finland''s renewable energy and accounts for 32% of the country''s total energy consumption (2022). Bioenergy is energy produced from biofuels. In Finland, biofuels come from biomass found in forests, peatlands, and fields, as well as from organic waste generated by communities, agriculture, and industries.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining

A characteristic of the future Finnish energy system will be the increased role of wind and solar energy, especially wind energy, and with energy storage and a favorable cost structure it seems that Finland will not only be a bioenergy country but also a solar and wind energy country.

Kemi biofuel refinery

Kaidi Finland plans to build a globally unique biomass plant in Kemi. Kaidi''s sustainable technology makes it possible to produce biofuels by using wood as the main feedstock. In addition to local wood, Kaidi''s plant will also utilize sawmill

Implementation of bioenergy in Finland 2021 update

• The main application of bioenergy in Finland is in renewable heat, both in direct heating (predominantly in industry) and in district heating. The use of solid biomass in industry is steadily increasing, while fossil fuels go down. • Roughly half of power production in Finland is based on renewables, with equal importance of

Finland''s Leadership with Bioenergy and Its Impact on the Forest

This capability not only supports energy production but also enables Finland to reduce emissions through innovative carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. The potential for capturing biogenic CO2 is substantial. Finland generates approximately 28 million tons annually from large point sources.

Finland

Finland will achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, and aim to be the world''s first fossil-free welfare society. The current biofuels obligation (liquid biofuels) calls for 20% biofuels in 2020, taking into account double counting for advanced biofuels. In spring 2019, the biofuels obligation was revised again, and the pathway toward 2030 was set.

Case Study Finland "Biofuels"

•By 2030, Finland will reduce transport emissions by at least 50 per cent compared to the 2005 level. This is a step towards carbon-free transport •Repetition of the 2016 energy and climate strategy •30 % share of biofuels in 2030 •The transition to sustainable biofuels in heavy goods vehicles and air transport will be promoted

3 THE GLOBAL SITUATION: FINLAND

In 2021, Finland passed a law amending gaseous and liquefied biogas in the transport biofuels obligation beginning January 1, 2022, and passed a law amending electro-fuels in the biofuels obligation beginning January 1, 2023. 3,4 In September 2022, the

6 FAQs about [Biofuel storage Finland]

Does Finland use biofuels?

Finland meets 29% of its energy needs from advanced biofuels. Finland uses a lot less fossil fuel than most countries. But it still has a lot to do to hit its ambitious green energy targets. The country’s commitment to biofuels is one of the chief reasons it’s ahead of many others. Finland gets 29% of all its energy needs from advanced biofuels.

Who makes biofuels in Finland?

The four major Finnish players in biofuels are Neste (being the world’s biggest producer of HVO), UPM, St1 and Gasum. Total production of biofuels in Finland was some 540 ktoe8. Compared to the Finnish consumption of biofuels in 2019, Finland is more than self-sufficient in the production of biofuels.

Why is Finland a leader in biofuels?

The country’s commitment to biofuels is one of the chief reasons it’s ahead of many others. Finland gets 29% of all its energy needs from advanced biofuels. It also has extensive nuclear and hydro networks. But some of its bold targets for continued fuel-use improvement call for sustained government intervention.

Does Finland have a fixed biofuels policy?

With its new liquid biofuels mandate written into law in spring 2019, Finland is one of the few countries with a fixed biofuels policy all the way to 2030. In parallel with increasing the amount of biofuels, energy efficiency and electrification in transport are promoted as well.

Should Finland establish a biofuel pump?

Establishing one may make the cost of biofuel at the pump unappealing for regular consumers, as the investment cost gets passed on. Other areas where Finland will have to work hard include phasing out the use of coal and peat in the combined generation of heat and power (CHP), according to the IEA.

Are biofuels taxed in Finland?

Taxation of petroleum products and vehicles in Finland. CEN/TC 19 Conference. Helsinki, 27 May 2013. The contribution of biofuels relative to the total amount of actual fuels is 11.2% in terms of energy, varying from 6.6% in petrol (mostly ethanol and some ETBE but also bio-naphtha; the statistics do not give details on this) to 55% in methane.
