Primary aims:
To examine the components of a fully-integrated (power, heating/cooling and mobility) fully-functional, reliable and recarbonized energy system for Finland in 2050
To determine the extent to which differing levels of nuclear power and forest-based biomass affect the cost of such an energy system
To explore the roles of energy storage solutions in facilitating high shares of variable renewable energy generation, with a particular focus on Power-to-Gas (PtG), Power-to-Liquid (PtL) and energy storage technologies
To develop more accurate future energy scenario modelling methodology in Finland that includes complete transparency of modelling assumptions
To encourage discourse on energy-related issues that will contribute to the transformation of the Finnish energy system towards long-term sustainability

The uniqueness of our work
Only research to consider 100% RE scenarios for Finland
Only research to seek a virtually carbon-free energy system by 2050
Full integration of power, heating/cooling and mobility sectors
Greatly expanded roles for wind and solar energy
First study to explore large-scale energy storage solutions and Power-to-Gas (PtG)
System modelled on an hourly resolution using historical data for a calendar year
Full transparency of technical and economic assumptions
Results suggest that a 100% RE scenario is a highly competitive cost solution
compared to other test scenarios with increasing shares of nuclear power and a
Business As Usual (BAU) scenario

Total annual costs
Key insights:
• Stranded investments in nuclear/ coal power stations not accounted (higher WACC?*)
• Test scenarios have high level of investment
• Reference scenarios have high level of fuel and CO₂ costs (risk of high CO2 price**)
* WACC 7% ► 15%
BAU: + 3 b€
New Nuclear: + 2 b€
** CO2 price 75 ► 150 €/t
BAU: + 1.9 b€

Levelized cost of electricity
* Includes 40% electrical efficiency + 50% thermal efficiency; ** final value is levelized cost of energy (incl. heat)
Key insights:
• Despite higher LCOE, offshore wind distribution favourable to energy system and may lead to overall cost
reduction in new simulations
• Low full load hours in thermal plants lead to high LCOE

energy sectors by 2050

Interpretation of results
A 100% renewable energy system seems possible for Finland, given the assumptions made in this study
The 100% RE scenarios are highly cost competitive
High level of energy independence seems achievable
Prominent roles of renewable energy and energy storage solutions should be considered in all future modelling
Opportunities exist for increased domestic investment and RE-based employment
Flexibility should be a defining feature of future energy systems
100% RE should be an equal partner in all future discourse regarding the Finnish energy system
Further study is needed related to how people will choose to live, how they will perceive risk and the role of energy in their lives (Futures Research) in order to hone the technical requirements of the energy system used in modelling

Introduction to scenarios
− Cost of bioenergy is dependent on the form
− Waste is assumed to be free
− Agricultural residues have little market value currently and will likely remain half
the price of energy wood
− Estimated biomass price is 22 €/MWh in 2050 (plus 5-11 €/MWh handling)
− Stumpage price currently 2 €/MWh
− Price to customer currently 9-23 €/MWh*
− Stricter sustainability criteria could raise this to about 50 €/MWh*
− Energy wood price highly unlikely to exceed 50 €/MWh in 2050
− Likely to be convergence between the price of energy wood and the price of
pulpwood (stumpage price currently about 12 €/MWh)

Key comment:
• The importance of transparency of all assumptions is critical
• Disagreement over assumptions can provide the basis of progressive discussion
• This must be the new standard in Finland
• Too many reports and documents lack this transparency
