Sivu: 1Sivu: 2Sivu: 3Sivu: 4Sivu: 5CHiEf ExECUTivE OffiCER’s REviEW GAs – THE ENERGY sOLUTiON fOR THE NEW DECADE The new conditions set by society upon the energy sector are also reflected in the finnish natural gas market, which underwent a change during the first decade of the 2000s. The most significant factor for change is concern about the impacts of global warming. The European Union wished to make a commitment to major measures to combat climate change, such as reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and an increase in the share of renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency. Progress towards energy selfsufficiency was also an aim at the European and finnish levels. finland is also going through an industrial restructuring that affects the use of natural gas as an industrial fuel. The global economic recession that hit the last years of the decade accelerated this process of change that had already been emerging. inaugurated in march 2009, fortum’s suomenoja power plant is, however, proof that natural gas is the answer to the challenges of the new era too. Natural gas is an energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly and competitive alternative in the production of heat and power for major urban areas. many interesting uses for natural gas can also still be found in industry. Therefore i believe that natural gas consumption can continue to increase, despite the past decade not witnessing such rapid growth as the 1990s. The increase in natural gas consumption from 1990 to 2000 was around 55%, while the period from 2000 to 2009 saw a few peak consumption years but no steady, increasingly established growth. in power plant usage, natural gas was replaced in some facilities by other fuels, in most cases domestic wood fuels, during the first decade of the 2000s. Natural gas consumption has also been reduced by the structural changes seen in finnish industry. Wood, however, is not available for all and it is not a sensible option in all cases. distribution. Together with its partner biovakka suomi, Gasum is developing the production of biogas near the natural gas network. Our cooperation projects have got off to a good start and we believe biogas will be transmitted by the Gasum network in late 2011. Especially in the early stages, the utilisation of bio-based gases calls for similar forms of support and tax solutions to those that are already in place for peat and being planned for wind power. All uses that are significant to society must be treated equally when support systems are created. To ensure access to natural gas, we are continuously investing in the maintenance and development of the natural gas transmission pipeline network. Opportunities to use natural gas are also increased by the new natural gas liquefaction facility that we are constructing in Porvoo. Once liquefied, natural gas can also be transported outside our gas pipeline network. The opportunity to store liquefied natural gas (LNG) also improves the security of natural gas supply. An entirely new and yet to be utilised use of LNG is for waterborne transport. such a move would enable baltic sea shipping to achieve compliance with the latest, stricter international regulations. DivERsE sERviCEs, NEW UsEs New user groups are appearing alongside traditional power plant consumption, and these groups want services from Gasum that are as diverse as possible. We are already able to offer our customers not only natural gas but also a variety of natural gas based energy solutions, such as heat or other energy processed from natural gas. Entirely new uses for natural gas have also been found as a transport fuel on land and at sea. Gasum has invested actively in the development of the natural gas vehicle (NGv) business and operated a total of 12 NGv filling stations in 10 different towns and cities at the end of 2009. There is plenty of untapped potential for gas-based transport in finland. NGvs can also help speed up progress towards finland’s objective to increase the share of renewable fuels in transport if biogas can be fully utilised as a vehicle fuel. The use of natural gas in transport helps pave the way for the transport use of biogas: natural gas and biogas complement each other as transport fuels and the same filling station network can be employed in their fOCUs ON ENERGY EffiCiENCY steering mechanisms employed to combat climate change, such as energy taxation and support provided to different forms of energy, including feed-in tariffs, 6
