Climate policy aims to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the European Union, these emissions are reduced by emissions trading scheme, the obligations of effort sharing sectors and the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Other relevant tools are land-use change and sinks in forests, which have their own regulations. Is the EU’s tool kit consistent and optimal in economic terms?https://tem.fi/en/-/miten-optimoida-eu-n-energia-ja-ilmastotoimet-

The Government’s climate targets are ambitious: carbon neutrality by 2035, and nearly fossil-free energy production in the course of the 2030s. The wide-ranging changes required to achieve these targets demand vigorous policies and consistent action. At the same time, however, one has to ensure social justice and the competitiveness of businesses. Paths to carbon neutrality involve major uncertainties.https://tem.fi/en/-/miten-hiilineutraaliin-yhteiskuntaan-paastaan-ja-mita-se-maksaa-

The negotiations on the EU’s Clean Energy Package are getting close to being completed in a number of respects. In the quite heated trilogues in early summer agreement was reached on the directives concerning both energy efficiency and renewable energy. However, the directives must also be efficiently implemented by Member States. What does this mean for Finland in practice? What are the key challenges?https://tem.fi/en/-/vahvaa-kunnianhimoa-ja-saantelyn-sudenkuoppia-energiatehokkuuden-ja-uusiutuvan-energian-uudet-eu-velvoitteet

Restricting global warming is crucial to humanity’s future. There will be no easy transition to a low-emission world, or eventually to a carbon neutral world, and we must make changes in all spheres of life. The European Union has an important role as one who takes the lead and offers solutions. To do this, it needs an ambitious and comprehensive climate and energy policy that is based on knowledge.https://tem.fi/en/-/milla-evain-rakennetaan-eu-n-pitkan-aikavalin-vahapaastoisyysstrategia-

1.4.2025 | The use of coal in Finnish energy production will end this spring as energy companies Helen and Vantaan Energia will close their last remaining power plant units using coal. The energy use of coal will thus end four years before the deadline of May 2029 required by law. In this way, Finland is taking another major step towards an energy system that is cleaner, more self-sufficient and climate neutral.https://tem.fi/en/-/energy-use-of-coal-to-end-in-finland-during-spring
