Abstract:
The aim of this study is to promote the use of biomass fuels in Finnish rural areas. Most potential users would be smaller heating plants, farms, small-scale industry and refining using heat and electricity. Study concentrates on forest biomass and its use potential in rural areas South-East Finland. Regional availability and large scale use of forest biomass has been already studied earlier. New biomass users create local entrepreneurship for example in fuel supply and heat entrepreneurship. This is an ongoing research launched in the beginning of 2016.
