A new Business Finland program, FLEXIBLE ENERGY SYSTEMS, is under preparation, and your insight is needed!
Flexibility is crucial for greening our energy systems and reducing carbon emissions. Energy production is increasingly intermittent, volatile, distributed and coming from multiple renewable and new sources. The incineration is giving way to alternative methods of generating electricity and heat. Electrification of the society, hydrogen economy, sector integration, digitalization and multiple new fuels call for a systemic change and new ways to generate, transfer, distribute, store, control, optimize and consume energy.
Flexibility extends beyond adapting to intermittent energy production with storage and demand response; it involves seamless integration of different energy forms and diverse fuels to meet the needs of end customers, enabling effortless transitions between different energy sources. The ongoing change calls for a holistic and interconnected approach to energy systems optimizing the utilization of the varied energy forms available. The transition also paves the way for new digitalized solutions and services along the value chain.
Flexible Energy Systems program
The Flexible Energy Systems program is part of the implementation of the Zero Carbon Future mission, in which we are aiming at making our future with increased global carbon handprint. The preparation of program has been launched to address the flexibility challenge and to help the Finnish companies to utilize the opportunity to the fullest!
Now we in Business Finland would like to hear how you see the challenges and opportunities, and how we could collaborate with you to achieve the best results for Finland!
