Energy Technology

Central Finland is the leading region in Finland in the development and utilisation of bioenergy: Nearly half of our primary energy demand is met by local fuel sources. Our vision is that by 2013 Central Finland will be one of the most developed bioenergy markets in the world, as well as being a significant player in other renewable energy technologies.

The objective of our work is to strengthen the competitiveness of companies and organisations dealing with energy technology, and to provide them with opportunities to create new business and jobs. The focus is on industries with significant growth possibilities in the international marketplace, including companies manufacturing machines and equipment for energy production, distribution or consumption, as well as those providing services for the energy sector.

Focus areas: ● Bioenergy and combustion technologies ● Business activities in biomass-based heating and other small-scale business concepts ● Biogas technology ● Energy solutions in the forest industry Education and research: ● VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) ● University of Jyväskylä ● Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences Examples of technology know-how: ● Gear units for wind turbines ● Distributed bioenergy production (e.g. central heating boilers, bio burning devices, wood chippers) ● Biofuels (energy peat, wood fuels, pellets and energy crops) ● Biogas technology ● Energy market services ● Metering and load management solutions Companies including: ● Largest manufacturer of small scale boilers in Northern Europe (Ariterm Oy) ● One of the worlds' largest biofuel suppliers (VAPO Oy) ● Wind turbine gears and industrial gears (Moventas Ltd)
