Welcome To Bioenergy 2009
The strong policy for increasing renewables and especially bioenergy continues in the
European Union. The Communication COM(2006)848 presents a renewable energy
roadmap for the year 2020, proposing a mandatory target of 20% renewable energy in gross
inland energy consumption, and a mandatory target of 10% transportation biofuels, to be
coupled with national action plans. It also includes a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions
(from their 1990 level) by 20% in 2020 and a 20% reduction in energy use by 2020. The
climate change and numerous environmental aspects and reasons are backgrounds for the
decisions. Not only ecological points, but also political and economical reasons will carry
these plans and targets forward. The Union’s common target 20 % is very challenge and
there is set mandatory targets for the member countries. Finland’s target is to increase the
use of renewables by 9,5 % units to totally 38 %. A remarkable portion of the target will be
reached by forest fuels. Environmentally friendly, safe and secure bioenergy together with
modern bioenergy technologies and know-how are the driving forces for increasing the
utilisation.
The 4th International Bioenergy 2009 Conference will take place in Jyväskylä, in the
heart of bioenergy - in Finland and in Central Finland. Finland is one of today’s top users
of bioenergy among all industrial states. Biomass use accounts for over 25 % of the total
primary energy consumption and 20 % of the electricity requirements are met by using
bioenergy (the highest in the EU). The share of bioenergy is in Central Finland over 50 %
and the target is 70 % 2015.One of the worlds biggest Biopower plant is under construction
with a fuel input capacity of 500 MW. Here you can see more bioenergy harvesting systems
and different scale of power and heating plants in a day than in a week somewhere else. The
Conference will focus on the factors affecting the future of the bioenergy, biopower, biofuels
in transport and biobased modern technologies and products, including logistic systems,
management, total procurement chains, the effects of the energy market, the influence of
green marketing and other trends affecting forestry, agriculture, industry and climate.
In the Conference and on the Study Tours you will get updated and concrete knowledge
about the modern biomass-based power, heating and CHP plants and technologies from
farm scale up to the world’s biggest construction. Practical fuel procurement systems,
energy technologies, logistics, know-how and experiences, international training possibilities,
combustion and harvesting systems and R&D results are presented.
The International Conference is not only an excellent highway and opportunity into the
modern sustainable bioenergy business in Finland. Also tens of oral presentations from all
over the Europe and modern forest machine fleets are presented.
I wish you warmly welcome to the Conference in the end of next August and beginning
of September!

Welcome to Finland
- The Bioenergy Country
Finland
Finland is one of the world
leaders in the utilisation
of wood based bioenergy
and the development
of biomass combustion
technologies and efficient
fuel supply chains. The
expertise extends from
the forest to heating and
power plants, from root
to soot.
Finland is a top bioenergy
country among the
Western Countries.
Almost 30 % of
total primary energy
consumption and 20 %
of electricity is met by
bioenergy (including peat).
 Finland is the world leader
in the development of
biomass combustion
technology and the
manufacture of fluidised
bed boilers that are
suitable for burning
different kinds of biomass
(wood fuels, peat, REFs
etc.). The advantages
offered by fluidised
bed technology include
high efficiency and low
emissions.
In Finland, you can see
in concrete the modern
bioenergy power and
heating plants and
technologies from farm
size up to the world’s
biggest construction.
Practical know-how and
experiences, energy
technologies, logistics,
various fuel procurement
systems, international
training possibilities,
combustion and harvesting
systems and R&D results
are presented.
And Central Finland is the
Centre of Bioenergy!
Finland is one of the world’s leading countries in utilising renewable energy
sources. About 26 % of Finland’s consumption of primary energy is produced by
bioenergy. With this share bioenergy is the biggest resource of energy in Finland.
The share of bioelectricity, which is 20 % today, is the highest in the European
Union.
Energy technology has become a significant field of exports in the recent
decades. This progress is closely related to the development of Finland’s energy
supply system and energy intensive industries. This development has been
boosted by the needs of the domestic market, the challenge being rigorous
climate and an abundant supply of biomass. Technology development target
is to have well structured technology programm in the Bioenergy field. Many
universities, institutes, schools and private companies provide education and
training in forestry and energy technology, from the practical knowledge courses
to the level of highest scientific research.
Our energy industry is of great significance in Finland’s industrial structure,
being closely intertwined with our traditional branches, forest and metal industries
but also the electronics industry. These ties have produced, for example,
expertise in different technological areas. Finland is a leading country in the
development of biomass combustion technologies combined heat and power
production and efficient fuel supply systems. The expertise extends from forests,
peatlands, urban and industrial waste to heating and power plants. Bioenergy
in wood industry is of importance both producing forest fuels, pellets and in
producing heat and power. Finland is also the world leader in the manufacture of
fluidised bed boilers that are suitable for burning all kinds of biomass. In Finland
you can see in practice modern plants and technologies from a farm size up to
the world´s biggest biomass power plant, 220 MW electricity.
The use of bioenergy grows rapidly everywhere. and is a global business.
Bioenergy has many positive effects also when battling against the climate change.
Also Finland has set challenging targets for to increase further the use of biomass.
The Renewable target for 2020 on a 38, % share .This means an increase by
8,5 % unit from today. The main source will still be bioenergy. There will be
increase in electricity and heat production but also for traffic purposes. The target
is challenge but will be reached by effective implementation tools. Today the new
Energy and Climate Strategy to reached the
2020 target is in the hands of the Parliament
members.
In Finland, the role of additional financial
incentives has been confirmed to be crucial
for the development, demonstration and
deployment of new technologies. The
implementation of high-efficiency, sophisticated
technology has been shown to be the best
guarantee for increasing the use of bioenergy.
Warmly Welcome to Finland!
Mr. Mauri Pekkarinen
Minister of Economic Affairs
Greetings from
the Mayor of Jyväskylä
Jyväskylä is one of Finland’s five most important centres of growth. From
beginning of 2009 three municipalities merged to a city with 130 000 inhabitants.
In recent years the population of our area has grown at record speed compared
to the country as a whole. Jyväskylä is in fact the second most popular place in
Finland to move to. Finns have also ranked Jyväskylä as offering the country’s best
environment in which to live and bring up children.
The Jyväskylä region is widely known for strong networked cooperation
which involves ten municipalities and numerous organisations, enterprises and
other bodies. Through broad-ranging collaboration we are intent on reinforcing
the region’s success. The goal is also to produce more and more services across
municipal boundaries.
The key characteristic of this youthful and vital region is international topquality education and expertise. A second characteristic is multi-actor operating
environments in research and development activity. In practice this means that
within the same operating environment enterprises, research establishments as
well as training and development organisations are all to be found.
Traditionally the Jyväskylä region has relied on the forest and metal industries
and more recently on information and communication technology. The focuses
of attention in the region’s primary branches are the production and use of
bioenergy, forest industry processes and the international forest industry, as well
as areas of emphasis in environmental technology such as biogas technology.
The heart of bioenergy is Central Finland, where bioenergy accounts for
50 % of consumption. In Central Finland it is possible to see more biofuel
production systems and different scale power and heating plants in a day than in
a week elsewhere. Wood fuel is used in combined heat and power plants and
district heating plants in municipalities and in the paper and wood industries.
The province has set an ambitious target to reach independence in fuels used
in power and heat production until 2015. The target can be met by increasing
annual production of bioenergy in the region by four terawatt hours. It means
also that Central Finland will reach almost maximal level in bioenergy utilization,
and hence represents a kind of ideal of a bioenergy market. The Regional Council
of Central Finland has launched a bioenergy cluster programme called Dynamic
Bioenergy to work for the target. The programme is managed by the JAMK
University of Applied Sciences. The city-owned development company Jyväskylä
Innovation participates in the national energy technology cluster with our special
regional focus on bioenergy. The region is home to various bioenergy education
and R&D institutes such as the University of Jyväskylä, JAMK University of Applied
Sciences with it’s Bioenergy Development Centre, VTT with its big bioenergy
group, the BENET Bioenergy Network, and FINBIO – the Bioenergy Association
of Finland. Large biofuel production companies and forest industry players
such as Vapo, Biowatti, Metso, UPM Kymmene and M-Real as well as energy
companies and bioenergy marketing companies of different sizes also conduct
national and international business from bases in Central Finland. Furthermore,
the local energy company owned by the city of Jyväskylä is currently constructing
the world’s biggest municipal biofuel power plant. The fuel capacity of the
new wood, agrobiomass and peat based power plant will be 500 MW and the
electricity output 150 MW.
Welcome to Jyväskylä, home of the world famous architect Alvar Aalto, world
champions in various sporting disciplines, and the world’s best organised WRC
rally, Neste Oil Rally Finland. We sincerely hope you find this human-sized city
and the unspoilt lake and forest scenery that surrounds it to your liking.
Mr. Markku Andersson
Mayor
