Viewing cable 07HELSINKI797, THE BIOFUELS PICTURE IN FINLAND

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07HELSINKI797.

SUBJECT: THE BIOFUELS PICTURE IN FINLAND 
 
REF: STATE 133131 
 
1. Believing that biofuels can decrease greenhouse gas 
emissions while also further diversifying its overall energy 
mix, the Government of Finland is aggressively funding 
programs that will create biofuels from woody biomass, fuel 
peat, and recovered fuels. Finland has also begun increasing 
the use of biofuels for transportation. Renewable energy 
already comprises an impressive 25 percent of Finland,s 
primary energy consumption (85 percent from bioenergy - 
mostly wood); this figure is expected to rise to 35 percent 
during the next decade.  Finland has mandated that biofuels 
make up 2 percent of all transportation fuels by 2008, 
gradually increasing to 5.75 percent by 2010.  This mandate 
has created instant market demand, further fueling overall 
research and development efforts by in both the Finnish 
public and private sectors, including many companies in the 
paper and pulp industry which seek to integrate energy 
production from biomass into their overall businesses. 
 
The Government Offers Support( 
============================== 
 
2. The Finnish Government, its public funding unit Tekes 
(Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and 
its grant recipients -- science and research organizations 
such as VTT Technical Research Center and State-sponsored 
universities are all players in Finland,s growing biofuels 
sector.  Tekes provides grants that support innovative 
research and development projects conducted by companies, 
research institutes, and universities.  For example, Tekes is 
currently supporting Biorefine, a 5-year, 140 million euro 
program for research and development of biofuel technologies. 
 Grant recipients (i.e. VTT, University of Helsinki, private 
companies) generally must publish their results for use by 
the general public; this is a measure to strengthen Finland's 
knowledge-based economy.  In addition to Tekes funding, the 
Finnish Ministry of Trade and Industry has a separate annual 
budget of 9 million euros for tangible biofuel demonstration 
projects.  According to Minister of Trade and Industry Mauri 
Pekkarinen (who holds the energy portfolio), this fund is a 
strong sign to the world that significant efforts are being 
put toward biofuel research and development in Finland. 
 
(But Looks to the Private Sector for Innovation 
============================================= == 
 
3. Finnish companies are also actively involved in biofuel 
research and development, bringing a competitive element to 
Finland's biofuel landscape and creating an atmosphere ripe 
for networking between companies.  Paper and pulp industrial 
giant Stora Enso has partnered with Neste, Finland's 
semi-State-owned oil company, to produce second generation 
biofuels at a new facility in southern Finland.  UPM-Kymmene, 
another leading forest products company, is working with the 
Gas Technologies Institute (GTI) in Chicago to integrate 
biofuel production into the overall pulp and paper lifecycle. 
 As wood fuels already contribute the majority of bioenergy 
production in Finland, this sort of integration between 
energy companies and the pulp and paper industry is quite 
natural.  Tekes also offers smaller financial grants to 
private companies on the condition that the companies 
disclose limited general information on their findings 
without having to disclose proprietary secrets.

5. Finland is emerging as a leader in the development of 
innovative biofuel technologies and it serves as an effective 
laboratory for next generation biofuel production, 
particularly from wood sources.  Embassy Helsinki warmly 
welcomes USITC officials to visit and learn more about 
current and developing biofuel technologies in Finland.
