From the reader. The prospects of Eastern Finland have deteriorated over the rest of the country for many reasons. In Western Finland, there are plenty of investment projects mainly based on renewable energy, but there are few industrial investments that are central to vitality in the East. This also applies traditionally in the area’s strong forest industry.
United Bankers is a fund management company that manages or owns, through its funds, extensive forest assets of more than 140,000 hectares, mainly in eastern Finland. We are looking for a sustainable return on forest assets, using them in many ways.
Wind power would bring a new chance to the forest
Wind power projects serve the management of forest assets in two ways. In addition to wood production, renewable energy projects, which serve our forest industry customers, are part of the sources of our forest assets.
In addition, the electricity generated by wind power creates a new opportunity for the forest sector: the collection of biogenic carbon dioxide from pulp mills and the combination of green hydrogen, for example, into renewable electric fuels.
With the increasingly affordable renewable electricity, this will be possible and important in the future, as the Eastern Finland program, released in February in February, is being starred.
Power boilers are their own chapter. Their importance in city district heat is growing, Tampere as a good example. Renewable electricity can be replaced by combustion wood for district heat production, for which our forest industry would provide a more valuable breeding destination.
Impetus for Eastern Finland
For the forest industry in the Eastern Finland, the construction of wind power rising from the area’s nearly zero-space in the area repeated a lot of local renewable electricity and would open up new business opportunities based on wood-based carbon dioxide. At the same time, a natural reason would be created to strengthen the electricity grid in the East.
Power boilers are their own chapter. Their importance in cities in district heat is growing.
Wind power would be an important impetus for the business and industrialization of Eastern Finland. There is room because only 4 % of our country’s wind power is east of Vitonen in Eastern Finland.
Petteri Orpo (IOC) The Board of Directors has promised to promote wind power projects in its program in Eastern Finland a liquidator Arto Rädyn in accordance with the recommendations of the report. From the point of view of the developing forest sector, this work should be wished much from the wind!
