OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels: Country Notes
This new web format for Country Notes on Fossil Fuel Support provides interactive on-line access to the latest data from the OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels by country – identifying and estimating the value of support arising from policies that encourage the production or consumption of fossil fuels. The web version allows users to download, share and play with the data. Interactive graphics enable data visualisation, in national currency, by beneficiary and by energy product. These Country Notes provide, for each of the 50 economies covered in the Inventory, a snapshot of energy market structure, the current state of energy prices and taxes, and recent developments and trends in fossil fuel support. Data and country notes for the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries have been collected and prepared as part of the GREEN Action Task Force.

Finland
Finland has no known resources of coal, crude oil or natural gas. As a result, around 39% of Finland’s energy needs are met through imports, which, prior to 2022, are mostly from neighbouring Russia. Energy intensity and energy consumption per capita are both very high due to the country’s relatively large heavy industry and its cold climate. The country does boast 9.3 million hectares of peat lands. Peat fuels almost 3% of the country’s electric power production (1.9 TWh in 2021), and 10% of district heating.
