Wood-based energy is a sustainable alternative for fossil fuels. Wood-based energy can provide local income and secure energy prices. Furthermore, it can improve forest environment and safety when combined with fire-smart forestry. For renewable and sustainable heat and power production to be successful, it often requires more knowledge and different skills than traditional energy production.

The Finnish renewable energy expert, Karelia University of Applied Sciences, has been actively working to increase the knowledge and professional skills of national and international renewable energy operators – both in the public and private sectors. Our talented multi-disciplinary team of seasoned energy professionals is ready to help you. With guidance and co-operation, you will be able to make your renewable energy business sustainable.
