Wood in energy generation 2015 (provisional)
Published 24.3.2016
- Heating and power plants consumed a total of 18.3 million solid cubic metres of solid wood fuels in 2015 (–2% from the previous year).
- The main solid wood fuel used in the plants was forest chips, the consumption of which decreased by three per cent year-on-year to 7.4 million cubic metres. Together with the forest chips burned in small-scale housing (0.7 million m³), total consumption reached 8.0 million cubic metres (–2 % year-on-year).
- Plants consumed nearly the same volume of forest industry by-products as in the previous year, a total of 10.1 million cubic metres. The main material used in burning was bark, accounting for almost 70 per cent, or 6.9 million cubic metres, of by-product wood.
- Both recycled wood and wood pellets and briquettes represented the proportionally most significant decrease (–12%) in the use of different types of solid wood fuels.
- The information provided here is preliminary. The publication date of the final information concerning wood in energy generation is available in the release calendar (http://stat.luke.fi/en/releasecalendar)
