  • Pohjolan Voima's Objectives for Carbon Neutrality Is for 99% of Its
    Press Release 1 (2) 31 March 2021 Pohjolan Voima’s objectives for carbon neutrality is for 99% of its electricity production and 85 % of heat production to be carbon neutral 96% of Pohjolan Voima’s electricity production is already CO2 neutral, and the responsibility goals set for 2020 were even exceeded. Pohjolan Voima has now set ambitious objectives: it wants electricity production to be 99% carbon neutral, and heat production 85% carbon neutral in 2025. Pohjolan Voima’s share of the electricity produced in Finland is nearly 20%. According to the latest annual report, 96% of Pohjolan Voima’s electricity production is already CO2 neutral. The company has been able to reduce CO2 emissions by decreasing the combustion of coal and peat. The stack of the last coalfired power plant was demolished in Kristiinankaupunki in the autumn of 2020, and thermal power plants decreased the use of peat more than planned, based on market terms. In 2021, Pohjolan Voima has reduced the use of peat by 20% compared with the level of 2019. A good year for hydropower also contributed to achieving the set targets. Electricity production forms in Pohjolan Voima’s portfolio that are considered completely carbon neutral are hydropower and nuclear power, as well as electricity produced with wood-based fuels and recycled biofuels in thermal power plants. Carbon neutrality targets set for 2025 Ambitious climate targets served as the starting point of Pohjolan Voima’s updated responsibility programme. The bar has been further raised. Pohjolan Voima’s objective for 2025 is that 99% if its electricity production and 85% of its heat production will be carbon neutral.

  • Finland: Inventory of Estimated Budgetary Support and Tax Expenditures for Fossil-Fuels
    FINLAND: INVENTORY OF ESTIMATED BUDGETARY SUPPORT AND TAX EXPENDITURES FOR FOSSIL-FUELS Energy resources and market structure In 2010, about 55% of Finland’s total primary energy supply (TPES) came from fossil fuels, with petroleum accounting for 25%, followed by coal and peat (19%), and natural gas (10%).The share of renewable energy stood at 25% (wood comprised 20% and hydropower 3%). Nuclear energy also plays an important role, accounting for a further 17% of TPES. Other energy sources and imported electricity make up the rest. Around 70% of Finland’s energy needs is imported, mostly from neighbouring Russia. Energy intensity and energy consumption per capita in Finland are both very high due to the country’s relatively large heavy industry and its proximity to the Arctic Circle. Finland has no known resources of coal, crude oil or natural gas. It is, however, endowed with very large resources of peat, since about a third of all Finnish surface area is covered with swamps and wetlands. Of its 9.3 million hectares of peat lands, 1.1 million hectares are protected and 0.06 million hectares are currently being harvested for peat. Technically and economically harvestable peat resources have been estimated at about 12 800 TWh (1 100 Mtoe), which is about 400 times more than Finland’s total annual primary energy consumption. Peat provides a significant part of Finland’s energy: it covers between 5% and 8% of the country’s electricity consumption (4 to 7 TWh per year), depending on the year, and over 20% of its district heat consumption.

The terms and conditions are available online at www.iea.org/Textbase/about/copyright.asp FINLAND 2007 Review INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY Energy Policies of IEA Countries FINLAND 2007 Review Energy Policies Faced with considerable challenges related to its geography and size, Finland’s Energy Policies of of IEA Countries sound energy policies do much to overcome its situation. The country leverages its small market where it can – such as by adopting or harmonising with EU directives and policies. To counter its relative isolation, Finland strengthened its position by becoming part of the larger Nordic electricity market and enhancing energy linkages. At the core, however, the country ensures energy security by relying on transparency and sound market signals to investors and customers, as well as by making good use of domestic sources of biomass and nuclear. As Finland continues to refine and enhance its energy policy, there are some FINLAND areas that warrant special attention. As nearly all fossil fuels are imported and all natural gas comes through a single interconnection, the government should continue to explore ways to diversify import sources and routes. The new nuclear power plant currently being built – the first in a liberalised market – will help safeguard energy security, though the construction delays necessitate continued monitoring. Subsidies for peat, a fuel in abundance in Finland, should be reconsidered, as they are unlikely to enhance energy security. On the other hand, the government should continue to explore ways to expand new renewables, building on the current stock of biomass and hydro.

  • Joint Resources Bring Well-Being to All
    Joint resources bring well-being to all The year 2012 of Pohjolan Voima was about renewal and a large number of changes. In accordance with the strategy, we continued to develop the corporate structure, improve the efficiency of business and support functions, improve the production plants, and conduct our massive investments in carbon-free production. In this way, we can better tackle the challenges brought about by the continuously uncertain financial situation and changes in the operating environment. The share of carbon-free electricity production exceeded 80% Since the turn of the millennium, Pohjolan Voima has invested a total of 4 million euros in carbon-free production capacity. About 1.5 million euros of this has been directed at renewable energy sources. The share of our carbon-free production exceeded 80% in 2012. The renovation scheme for hydropower continued through the replacement of the Pahkajoki power plant's secondary machinery in Iijoki. This improved the unit's utilisation rate and increased the production volume. The challenge for hydropower continues to be that the large volume of water during the flood season has to be routed past the units because there are no reserve basins. In Iijoki, about 20% of the water was routed past the power plants in 2012. The thermal power bioenergy scheme continued in 2012 and the fifteenth power plant using Pohjolan Voima's bioenergy was completed in Hämeenkyrö. Vaskiluodon Voima (a partnership company of ours) in Vaasa continued the construction of the world's first power plant-size bio carburettor where a significant part of the coal used as the fuel is replaced with wood chips.
