185 word summary
The Finnish government has submitted its national climate and energy strategy to Parliament, detailing a plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. The strategy encompasses all greenhouse gas emissions and prioritizes the green transition and phasing out Russian fossil energy. It addresses areas such as security of supply, energy efficiency, and competitive energy prices. The goal is to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 60% from 1990 levels by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. Finland is on track to meet its objective of generating at least 51% of final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2030. The strategy underscores the significance of the emissions trading system, a stable operating environment, and investments in clean technologies. It also focuses on themes such as electrification, non-combustion heat production, and wind power. The strategy emphasizes the necessity for additional funding for new energy technologies, including hydrogen electrolysis capacity and small modular reactors. Multiple government ministries collaborated on the strategy, which was coordinated by the Ministerial Working Group on Climate and Energy Policy. It was supported by research and assessments of its environmental, economic, and social impacts.
