University technology ISBN 978-952-265-172-3, 978-952-265-173-0 (PDF), ISSN 1456-4491 The thesis explores national-level issues related to the development for energy. consists five separate papers provides insights on selected issues. aim Paper I was identify methodological statistical challenges in assessing international solid liquid biofuels trade provide an overview Finnish situation with respect status trade. We found that, case, it is possible qualify direct indirect volumes biofuels. study showed that has a highly significant role Finland may be sector also purpose II quantified insight into prospects meeting national 2020 renewable targets concurrently becoming largescale producer forest-biomass-based second-generation feeding increasing demand European markets. good opportunities realise scenario meet large-scale production wood-based potential net export transport from would correspond 2–3% demand. III summarises as illuminated by several sources. International estimated at nearly 1 EJ 2006. Indirect through trading industrial roundwood material by-products comprises largest proportion trading, share about two thirds. IV outline comprehensive picture coverage various certification schemes sustainability principles relating entire value-added chain bioenergy. Regardless intensive work been done field concerning use energy, weaknesses still exist. objective V clarify alternative scenarios market until underlying steps needed toward wellfunctioning sustainable purposes. An overall conclusion drawn this analysis concerns enormous utilisation coming decades.
