The country binding committemt are the rise to a 38% target of energy from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption in 2020, compared with 31.2% in 2009. Therefore, in May 2013, Parliament adopted a Renewable Energy Law. In accordance with this Law, the Government must formally adopt the 38% target, including also a 10% target of renewable energy in transport.

A Governmental Decision on the Approval of Rules, Requirements and Procedures for Informing and Involving the Public in Environmental Decision-Making was adopted in April 2014. The Decision contains important provisions on public participation in the environmental impact assessment procedure. In this regard, this partnership came as natural and it is widely welcome. “Bioenergyadvice.com is created for everyone who is interested in bioenergy and is looking for cost effective and ecological energy. We think that everyone has the possibility to find it” said Administration Kari Rosenlöf.

In fact, the original site Bioenergian Pikkujättiläinen in Finnish was created by the need of finding objective information of bioenergy easily.

“The basics of using bioenergy is the same worldwide. That´s the reason we first translated our site from Finnish into English. We are interested in developing our experience in more international environment. Now the site is being translated into Russian as well” add Mr Kari Rosenlöf. Therefore, Bioenergian Pikkujättiläinen warmly welcome producers and users of bioenergy from other countries as a meeting place. The goal is to provide information for bioenergy users and a market area for producers to advertise their products and services. “We are very interested in feedback to see to which direction to develop our site to serve the visitors.
