HC intelligent home network On when the Chinese government is also just announced for the 2020 emission reduction targets to achieve the brains, the far northern Europe thousands of miles away across a small country, Finland has quietly launched a renewable energy strategy for the 40th year since. This reporter recently had the honor came to this forest, islands and Nokia famous country, of a flow in the blood of the “low-carbon civilization” has profound Jing Wu.
Low-carbon energy first from the real action. No banners, no slogans, Finn is silent for many years due to follow the tradition handed down the energy. “Finland’s citizens to know how energy. Take the turn off the lights and gift packaging for these little things, no one will leave office in time to light casual open; no one will be over-packaged gifts.” Finnish Ministry of the Environment Minister Stephen? Wallin told reporters.
Walk in the streets of Helsinki, you can see some buildings with a block placed on top of silver metal, which is solar energy equipment. In Finland, the company may apply for these solar installations up to 35% of the total cost of the subsidy, the average family can also apply for 20% of the subsidy.
Moreover, the local buildings have to fulfill most of the Finnish Ministry of the Environment to develop new standards for thermal insulation of buildings: first, the building of the wall must have insulation, indoor ventilation must be; Second, for each room Thermal devices installed automatically adjust valve; Finally, the increased thickness of the wall, with two-story or three windows. Adopting the above measures, the building is said to reduce energy consumption 10% -15%.
To the Finnish Government or business, even if such a power sector Trade and Industry, or such an industry giant Wartsila, even doors are located in a nondescript alley, no magnificent hall, more advertising did not keep the LCD screen. Elevator into these places, but found most of a small elevator in Finland could not be more small, usually only accommodate 45 people, if one more person will feel very difficult to even turn around. Particularly fresh, the elevator doors are manual actually?? Wooden doors need to push it to be open?? Alone can save a lot of electricity.
Even more incredible is that in such a forest coverage up to 70%, the paper industry highly developed countries, the toilet actually rarely see removable paper towels and replace a reusable washing, shaft-style towel.
If these are only superficial form of low-carbon economy, then a deeper level of “low-carbon civilization” has long rooted in Finland among human and system. Data are illustrative of a present, renewable energy accounts for a quarter of Finland’s overall energy use (25%), and China the figure is still below 10%. Finland thus has become the highest utilization of renewable energy the EU countries.
In Finland, any business can apply to renewable energy development project funding, the government will give 25% -40% capital subsidy. “They are free to use these subsidies to participate in specific projects. However, implementation of these plans are subject to government surveillance.” Finnish Trade and Industry Energy Division Director Testori? Tulu Lun told reporters.
2005, the Finnish government for financial assistance in this area reached 31.2 million euros. In recent years, such funding has steadily increased, to further promote wind, solar, bio gas and other environment-friendly energy project development. Among these, the most compelling than a kind called “peat” renewable energy, that is, there have been scientific and educational programs in China, the “earth power” project.
In the southern Finnish city of forssa City VAPO power plant, the responsible person McAdoo? Pasula to reporters about the earth that looks no different from the material. Every day, a large trucks from the nearby wetlands will be collected in a large number of mud-coal to this plant, in this transformation to the surrounding areas after generation. While the energy rich countries, peat is almost unwanted attention, but the energy shortage in Finland, the electricity generated by the substance actually meet the city of nearly 50,000 people forssa electricity, plumbing needs.
