Finland: Bioenergy at the Heart of the Energy Transition
Associations
In Finland, bioenergy is one of the country's main energy sources, playing a central role in the production of heat, electricity and sustainable fuels. Its development is promoted by Bioenergia ry - The Bioenergy Association of Finland, an organization founded in 2012 through the merger of the leading associations in the sector. Today, bioenergy accounts for around 45% of district heating and more than 10% of the country's electricity generation. Thanks to its versatility and its use in combined heat and power (CHP) plants fueled by biogas, it also contributes to national energy security, ensuring a reliable energy supply even when sources such as wind and solar are not available.
