在對芬蘭能源政策的審查中,國際能源署(IEA)強調了該國為實現脫碳所做的一些努力。預計可再生能源和核能將為芬蘭居民和工業生產更大份額的能源。

芬蘭的可再生能源計劃有一個雄心勃勃的目標,即透過可再生能源滿足其能源消耗的38%。該國超過85%的土地被針葉林覆蓋,這意味著除了風能之外,木質生物質(如木片)也將成為重要的能源來源。

與其他國家不同,芬蘭正尋求透過建造三座額外的核電站來增加核電在其電力生產中的份額。目前,電力生產大致分為可再生能源、核能和化石燃料各佔三分之一。作為國家氣候和能源戰略的一部分,到2025年,核能的份額將翻一番,接近60%。國際能源署指出,芬蘭政府強有力的中央規劃是其核計劃成功的關鍵。

對於核工業來說,芬蘭是一個積極的訊息。上週,宣佈加利福尼亞州南部聖奧諾夫雷核電站的兩座反應堆將不會重啟,與威斯康星州佛羅里達州即將退役的核電站一樣。
