Clean electricity production must increase massively to replace fossil fuel combustion
In the fossil fuel-free energy scenario for Finland, the share of electricity will increase by about 50% replacing fossil fuels. More electricity will be needed to supply power for the heat pumps in district heating networks and buildings, and electric vehicles in the transport sector. Also steel industry and other industries need clean electricity in […]
Finnish energy system can be made 100% fossil free
In Finland, 40% of the total energy consumption including electricity, heating, transport, and industry is still based on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels can be replaced mainly by electricity-generating technologies using wind, solar, biofuels and nuclear as primary energy sources. This means that a higher degree of electrification is needed in both the heating and transport […]
Clean district heating and cooling system – how can it work?
The following concept for clean district heating and cooling consists of multiple renewable energy sources, co-generation of heating and cooling, as well as energy storage technologies in both the district heating network and in buildings. Already today, IT systems with smart control and automation functionalities can connect renewable energy units, storages, and buildings in a […]
