在对芬兰能源政策的审查中,国际能源署(IEA)强调了该国为实现脱碳所做的一些努力。预计可再生能源和核能将为芬兰居民和工业生产更大份额的能源。

芬兰的可再生能源计划有一个雄心勃勃的目标,即通过可再生能源满足其能源消耗的38%。该国超过85%的土地被针叶林覆盖,这意味着除了风能之外,木质生物质(如木片)也将成为重要的能源来源。

与其他国家不同,芬兰正寻求通过建造三座额外的核电站来增加核电在其电力生产中的份额。目前,电力生产大致分为可再生能源、核能和化石燃料各占三分之一。作为国家气候和能源战略的一部分,到2025年,核能的份额将翻一番,接近60%。国际能源署指出,芬兰政府强有力的中央规划是其核计划成功的关键。

对于核工业来说,芬兰是一个积极的消息。上周,宣布加利福尼亚州南部圣奥诺夫雷核电站的两座反应堆将不会重启,与威斯康星州佛罗里达州即将退役的核电站一样。
