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

System integration - a new key theme for energy policy - Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
Climate neutrality requires that we stop using fossil fuels and increase the use of intermittent renewable energy. Different energy systems should be strongly interlinked to secure the functioning of energy systems and improve their efficiency, with due consideration for the large-scale needs of industrial production. However, we must also beware of the pitfalls on the long path towards sector integration.https://tem.fi/en/-/system-integration-a-new-key-theme-for-energy-policy -

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-

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-

For the EU to become a leader in climate policy, strong coordination between the EU institutions and the member states is required. Despite its uninspiring name, the Governance of the Energy Union may turn out to be a key instrument in the EU energy and climate policy; perhaps more important than was initially expected. In addition to the specific obligations, the importance the member states and instituti...https://tem.fi/en/-/eu-n-energia-ja-ilmastopolitiikan-hallintomalli-hioo-kyntensa-tama-vuosi-nayttaa-vahvasti-suunt-2

Recently published scenarios show that we have a bumpy road ahead to climate neutrality. These scenarios also help us to grasp the magnitude of the climate challenge. To meet the commitments of the Paris Agreement on climate change, we need to take determined action to reduce greenhouse gases. Although we are currently nowhere near the desired level globally, Finland is pursuing ambitious climate goals, both nationally and in its role as the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.https://tem.fi/en/-/polku-kohti-ilmastoneutraaliutta-tuoreet-skenaariot-kuvaavat-haasteen-kokoluokkaa
