The updated Climate Change Act, implemented in July 2022, legally binds Finland to attain carbon neutrality by 2035, with specific emission reduction targets of 60% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 90-95% by 2050 (Ilmastolaki). Greenhouse gas emissions from energy production have decreased from 56.1 Mt CO2-eq to 37.6 Mt2-eq.
The Finnish Wind Energy Association estimates that, in Finland, wind power construction will continue to grow strongly in the coming years but that it will not quite reach the record level of 2022 in the next three years. Even so, new wind power in Finland is forecasted to reach 1,500 MW per year. On windy days, this means the equivalent of the

January 30, 2024. The project is the successor to a 30MW/30MWh BESS Neoen already operates in Finland. IPP Neoen has started construction on a 2-hour 56.4MW/112.9MWh BESS in Finland, in the context of market dynamics which optimiser Capalo AI explained to Energy-Storage.news. The Paris-headquartered independent power producer (IPP)
CCS consists of the capture of CO 2 from its source, its transportation to a storage site, and then its permanent storage. Each of these can involve a variety of technologies. Potential storage methods are geological storage (storage in oil and gas fields, deep saline formations, or in unminable coal beds), ocean storage, and CO 2
The energy efficiency gap results from the limited amount of information currently available to consumers as well as the failure to adapt their energy demand to price changes [25,29]. 2. The
Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world''s leading and fastest-growing independent producers of exclusively renewable energy, is
Finnish researchers have installed the world''s first fully working "sand battery" which can store green power for months at a time. The developers say this could solve the problem of year-round
The project, called Vantaa Energy Cavern Thermal Energy Storage (VECTES), will involve caverns around 60 metres underground in bedrock. According to project overview documents produced by Vantaa, situating the water storage that far down means the ground water''s natural pressure will prevent it from evaporating, even at
Some authors have reported energy efficiency gains induced by DSM measures that can reduce primary energy consumption. Papagianis et al. [24] estimated that with high penetration of DSM programs, the EU-15 countries would experience a reduction of 1–4% in primary energy. From the economic and environmental perspective,
