This demand will also boost technology development and strengthen the position of Finnish technology and know-how providers in the global market.

The Finnish energy production system is among the world's cleanest with carbon dioxide emissions per produced kilowatt-hour below 300 kWh/kg CO2. Co-generation makes it possible to achieve a total efficiency of 80-90 percent, or even higher. In the city of Helsinki, district heat, district cooling and electricity are produced on a large scale in a single process, which has decreased emissions and improved the air quality in Helsinki considerably since the 1990s - despite the fact that energy production has increased by more than 60 percent.
