Energy

The project examines the climate, energy and economic impacts of the carbon dioxide economy up to 2040 using various scenarios. First, feasible technological scenarios will be identified, with an assessment of the required feedstock flows, technologies and their economic impacts on industrial plants using forest biomass streams in Finland. Next, the climate, energy and business impacts will be calculated for Finland as a whole, along with the investment levels needed. These results are used to estimate the impact on the added value for the Finnish economy. Project results estimated to be complete: February 2026 Panel member responsible for the project: Senior Scientist Kati Koponen Involved in the project: VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, the Finnish Environment Institute, LUT University and the Finnish Forest Bioeconomy Science Panel [caption id="attachment_6794" align="alignnone" width="750"] Part of the project group: from left Lauri Kujanpää, Jussi Lintunen, Jyri Seppälä, Kati Koponen, Monika Österberg, Esa Vakkilainen, Tekla Tammelin and Onni Linjala.[/caption]
