Both the Government Programmes of Prime Minister Antti Rinne and Prime Minister Sanna Marin stated that sector-specific low-carbon roadmaps would be developed in cooperation with operators in each sector. The roadmaps’ purpose was to provide a more accurate picture of the scale, costs and conditions of the measures needed to move to a carbon neutral Finland.
A total of 13 sectors prepared their own roadmap. In support of the sectors, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment coordinated the project as a whole, provided guidance and held regular discussions and seminars.
The roadmaps show that the Government’s goal of a carbon neutral Finland in 2035 is achievable for industry and other sectors with existing or upcoming technologies. However, the realisation of road maps requires that the investment environment is favourable and that a number of conditions are met.
The results of the roadmap work will be utilised in the preparation of the Government’s climate and energy policy, the targeting of RDI investments and the preparation of a sustainable recovery. Several sectors are planning or preparing further steps on their road maps, including more thorough reviews and means to put the results into practice.
