The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland has opened a consultation on the draft Energy and Climate Strategy, which aims to meet the EU's climate and energy targets and obligations for 2030 and to accelerate the clean transition of industry, to support Finland's 2035 climate neutrality target. The strategy plans to use bioenergy with CCS (BECCS) to remove up to 1.5 MtCO2eq/year by 2035 (to double to about 3 MtCO2eq/year in 2040 and up to 14 MtCO2eq/year in 2050, that would be stored in the Norwegian Sea. Finland would also implement the EU's extended Emission Trading Scheme (ETS2). Comments can be submitted until 22 August 2025.
Earlier in July 2025, the Ministry of Environment of Finland requested comments on the draft Medium-term Climate Plan, which sets out the emissions reduction measures to be implemented in the effort sharing sector (emissions from transport, agriculture, building-specific heating, non-road mobile machinery and waste management, and F-gas emissions). Under the EU regulation, Finland should reduce emissions from this effort sharing sector by at least 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels (26% reduction achieved so far).
