The Ministry of Employment and the Economy reveals in a report that Finland is close to meeting EU targets for renewable energy. Renewable energy currently makes up 37% of the final energy consumption, just one percent below the 38% that Finland must reach by 2020. Reaching the target should not be a problem, since Finland is only getting started with the production of biogas, ethanol and wood-based diesel. Professor Raimo Lovio of the Aalto University noted that the total energy consumption has decreased and this helped with meeting the targets.
