Further to Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, the share of biofuels in transport should rise to a minimum of 10% in Member States by 2020. In Finland, the goal is set at 20%, and it is estimated that this can be produced entirely in domestic factories, as long as the projects already underway will be...

... the last decade, biofuel production has increased radically. Between 2000 and2013, fuel ethanol, biodiesel and hydrogenated vegetable oil output increased from 17.7 to 116.5 billion liters (see Fig. 1) [1]. This remarkable increase has been driven by governmental interventions. In the US, strong financial incentives motivate biofuel manufacturers. In Europe, biofuel consumption is driven by EU biofuel legislation ...

... There are currently also a number of lignocellulosic-based fermentation plants in planning and construction in Finland. As well, research activity in downstream and upstream processes is intensive, likely to lead to further innovations [16]. ...
Sparsely inhabited Nordic regions, especially in rural areas, offer a great potential for renewable energy production. Waste-to-energy (W2E) technologies can play a very important role in the diversification of the energy production portfolio in the framework of a growing energy demand. In this paper, we examine the role the development of a smart energy network can play to support the employment of W2E technologies for sparsely populated rural areas. It is expected that W2E technologies combined with smart energy grids would make sustainable energy solutions viable and economically feasible, whilst supporting a transition to a sustainable energy strategy.
