Murroksellisten teknologioiden vaikutukset ­– niin uhkina kuin mahdollisuuksinakin ­– ovat nousseet viime vuosina yhä konkreettisemmin osaksi myös kansallisen turvallisuuden kysymyksiä, turvallisuuspolitiikkaa sekä puolustusyhteistyötä.

Puolustusministeriön kanssa v. 2022–23 laadittu raportti esittelee kymmenen toimenpidesuositusta, joiden avulla Suomi voi varmistaa, että se on valmis vastaamaan murroksellisten teknologioiden kansalliselle turvallisuudelle tuomaan haasteeseen.

How to speed up the transition to a more sustainable and more profitable maritime ecosystem? How to accelerate the decarbonisation of shipping?

Answering these two questions brought together a diverse group of contributors from different parts of the maritime industry and the global decarbonisation ecosystem. The participants included representatives from 13 companies, five international organisations and one academic institution.

We have been motivated by a strong commitment to work together for a better future for the oceans and the globe.

A joint report by five leading Finnish companies argues that it is time for Finland to start a serious conversation about what hydrogen could mean for Finland’s climate targets, energy system, and industries.

What does hydrogen mean for Finland? Could Finland become a global producer and exporter of hydrogen or hydrogen-derived synthetic fuels? Could Finnish industries use hydrogen to cut their carbon emissions? Can hydrogen help Finland store and transport energy produced by wind?

Fortum, Gasum, Toyota Auto Finland Oy, UPM Energy, and Wärtsilä have come together to discuss the opportunities and constraints of the new hydrogen ecosystem for Finland in the joint report Finland and the Hydrogen Economy. The report has been produced by Nordic West Office.

The report explains the basics of hydrogen, shares a vision of what hydrogen could mean for Finland, proposes next steps for Finland, and shows what other countries are already doing. 

According to the report, hydrogen can offer Finland tremendous opportunities in both curbing its carbon emissions and creating whole new industries, exports, and high-skilled jobs. However, as challenges remain, it is vital to consider carefully what the most efficient uses of hydrogen are, and what types of investments should be prioritized.

Countries around the world are preparing their own hydrogen strategies. It is time for Finland, too, to start a serious conversation about what hydrogen could mean for Finland’s climate targets, energy system, and industries.

This report was published in November 2020.
