THE VISION OF THE REGION:
FOSSIL OIL FREE ENERGY REGION
”Fossil Oil Free Heating 2020”
”Fossil Oil Free Region 2030”
THE AMBITIOUS VISION
is coming from
Regional Strategy Programme 2030
where the long term vision was set
but
the new steps were formulated in
Climate and Energy Programme 2020
(approved in the end of August 2011)
”Power from Wood –Programme” (1991)
”NK Bioenergy Strategy” (1998)
”NK Bioenergy Strategy, updating”
(2001)
”North Karelia Bioenergy Programme 2015”
(2007)
”Climate and Energy Programme 2020 of
NK” (2011)
Background for the Climate and Energy Programme 2020
 Strong political commitment
 Strong, active and wide organisational level commitment
 North Karelia is known as region of forests in Europe
 Educational and research bodies in Joensuu:
 European Forest Institute (EFI)
 Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla)
 University of Eastern Finland (UEF)
 Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE)
 North Karelia University of Applied Sciences
 A wide range of companies in renewable energy sector
 John Deere Ltd, Fortum Ltd, Stora Enso Ltd, Tulikivi Ltd, Nunnauuni
Ltd, Kesla Ltd, Mantsinen Ltd, Pentin Paja Ltd, Waratah Ltd …
 Sustainable use of forest resources
 Forest annual growth about 8,3 Mm³ (use about 5,5 Mm³!)
 The biggest sustainable 7,8 Mm³ (according to NK Forestry Centre)
 Annual fellings between 4,2 – 5,4 Mm³
 Wood energy use about 0,5 Mm³ - target 1 Mm³
 Good statistics available for monitoring the development
Example of energy statistics
 Regional Council has collected energy use and CO2 data from
different organisations and statistic sources 2004, 2008, 2010
 Total energy use about 12 TWh
 Renewable energies 63 % of total energy use
 Wood based energy 82 % of renewables
 Regional Council is also collected data from companies and
organisations related direct to bioenergy & renewable energy
sector
 more than 100 companies
 1300 man-year
 200 M€ turnover
 more than 30 forest and energy R&D projects going on
MAIN TARGETS 2020 FOR THE ENERGY SECTOR in NK
1. FOSSIL OIL FREE HEATING
2. OVER SELF-SUFFICIENT POWER GENERATION BY
RENEWABLES
3. AT LEAST 25 % RENEWABLES IN TRANSPORTATION
ENERGY USE in NORTH KARELIA
Transportation
17 %
Heat
60 %
Power
23 %
TARGET 1: FOSSIL OIL FREE HEATING 2020
HEATING NOW (2010)

District heating systems in all towns and cities (woodchips, peat …)

Bigger buildings (electricity, woodchips, oil, pellet …)

Smaller buildings (electricity, firewood, pellet, oil, heat pumps …)
 About 700 GWh fossil oil based heating energy is used annually
HEATING IN 2020

Nearly 100 % by RES

700 GWh of peat and fossil oil replaced by woodchips

150 GWh more small-scale CHP production

Biofuels for heating (biobased oil, pyrolyse oil)

Heat pumps and solar thermal
TARGET 1: FOSSIL OIL FREE HEATING 2020
= 293 GWh
= 462 GWh
= 398 GWh
TARGET 1: FOSSIL OIL FREE HEATING 2020
Fossil oil for heating nowadays 755 GWh (2010)
TARGET 1: FOSSIL OIL FREE HEATING 2020
It means 2010-2020:
More woodchips, pellets, pyrolyse oil and other
renewables like solar energy …
(also heating pumps if electricity is produced by renewables)
Fortum pyrolysis oil
production investment
in Joensuu is a good
example of the
decisions which are
definitely needed!
EXAMPLE: WOODCHIP USE IN NORTH KARELIA
1,1 TWh, about 10 % of total energy use in 2010

METHODS FOR ACHIEVING THE TARGETS BY 2020
1. LOCAL RENEWABLE ENERGY
2. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
3. COLLABORATION AND KNOW-HOW
CONCLUSION
There are possibilities to replace fossil oil
 There is – natural resources & environmental sustainability
 There is – social acceptance & human resources
 There is - political commitment
 There is - business opportunities
Programme based development
has been successful (open and
participatory work, sharing
and combining knowledge …)
Bundling of logging
residues
Forest haulage by
tractor equipped for log haulage
On-road transportation
by log trucks
BUNDLING
METHOD
Logging residue compacting
truck trailer
On-road transportation of
loose logging residues
TERRAIN
CHIPPING-METHOD
Chipping of residues
on road-side terminal
LOOSE RESIDUES
Crushing of bundles or loose residues
in the plant
There are some challenges
 Transportation sector
 Wood energy supply chain
CHIPPING IN
ROAD SIDE-METHOD
