Since 2007 in Finland, the supply of biofuels increased by 30% whereas oil supply dropped by 9% and coal, natural gas and peat supply declined.
The updated Climate Change Act, implemented in July 2022, legally binds Finland to attain carbon neutrality by 2035, with specific emission reduction targets of 60% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 90-95% by 2050 (Ilmastolaki). Greenhouse gas emissions from energy production have decreased from 56.1 Mt CO2-eq to 37.6 Mt2-eq.
Finland has no coal plants under construction or in planning stages. The country has 1,365 megawatts (MW) of operating coal power capacity. As a member of the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) since 2017, Finland is committed to phasing out these coal plants by 2030 and switching to clean energy sources for producing electricity.

25 November 2016. Finland has announced a plan to phase out all coal burning by 2030, which would make it the first nation to cut ties with one of the most deeply entrenched and polluting of fossil fuels. The strategy, which is part of the country''s goal to have totally carbon-neutral energy production by 2050, is the most ambitious plan yet to
Coal in Finland. Three-quarters of Finland''s heat and more than one-third of electricity is produced in combined heat and power plants. They thoroughly utilise their fuels, such as carbon, and energy is not wasted. District heat produced in combined heat and power plants represents energy production at its highest efficiency – Finland being
