6 FAQs about [Finland energy storage record]
What percentage of Finland's energy supply is based on fossil fuels?
In 2021, fossil fuels covered 36% of Finland’s total energy supply (TES), the second-lowest share among IEA countries and much lower than the IEA average of 70%. Finland has no domestic fossil fuel production and all supplies of crude oil, natural gas and coal are imported.
What kind of energy does Finland use?
Finland has no domestic fossil fuel production and all supplies of crude oil, natural gas and coal are imported. The energy intensity of the economy and energy consumption per capita are both very high due to the country’s relatively large heavy industry sector and the high heating demand from its cold climate.
Does Finland rely on fossil fuels?
Thanks to its nuclear reactors and large domestic production of renewable energy (mainly forestry solid biomass as well as generation from hydro and wind), Finland has one of the lowest levels of reliance on fossil fuels among IEA member countries.
How much energy does Finland import from Russia?
In 2021, Finland spent EUR 10.1 billion on energy imports, with EUR 5.3 billion going to imports from Russia. By share of spending, Russia accounted for 81% of Finland’s crude oil net imports, 75% of its natural gas, 52% of its coal and 51% of its electricity net imports. Russia accounted for 25% of wood chips imports for energy use.
Does Finland have a high energy consumption?
At the same time, Finland still has a high level of energy consumption in relation to the size of its economy, showing the opportunity for energy efficiency to help improve energy security and reduce emissions in sectors such as transport and industry.”
What is the largest source of electricity in Finland?
Nuclear is the largest source of electricity generation in Finland, amounting to 33% of total electricity generation in 2021. This figure is expected to increase to more than 40% following the start of operations of the Olkiluoto 3 reactor on 16 April 2023.
