Mission & Goals
The Bioenergy Association represents the interests of the bioenergy sector in Finland. The association has 227 member organisations. It represents the entire bioenergy sector from land ownership to forest and energy companies, and technology and research in the field. The association aims to promote the preconditions of the production, use, competitiveness and economy of bioenergy, biochar and peat. It fosters expertise and know-how in the sector and co-operation between its members, and improves the general operating preconditions of the industry. The vision of the association is that Finland provides excellent conditions for producing sustainable and even carbon-negative biomass-based products. Side-streams of circular bioeconomy can be utilised in sustainable energy supply.
