Tiivistelmä
The main objective of this thesis is to clarify the energy consumptions conditions: how forestry industries are requiring and consuming the energy and how the environment is affected; besides, the background of bio-fuel is introduced and discussed to illustrate its potential and impacts on the traditional energy sources with the environmental and economic prospects domestically and internationally.
Two major methodologies are used to complete the thesis work in different chapters and also for different evaluations: The theoretical learning with discussions which aims to study the academic materials and articles with the supervision and guidelines from instructor to appreciate the knowledge Another method is real-life cases´ information analysis, it allows the real-life cases become the research background that more practical information could be obtained that promotes the reliability and practicability of the thesis. The real-life cases are from nations where author has been educated: Finland and the author`s homeland China are especially concerned, with discussions are concentrated on the differences of certain considerations between the two nations, author´s understanding and opinions are provided with supports from scientific and academic fundamentals.
Results of the thesis can be concluded as: combustion of fossil fuel brings greenhouse gas emission which accelerates the climate changes and global warming; within the deeper and more aggressive environmental damage and impacts are continuously occurred from energy consumptions and forestry industry activities. The scales of the developments and the bio-fuel applications have to be accelerated and amplified in order to minimize the impacts on the environment and food security. Besides, the co-operation and learning of the forestry industry between Finland and China should be enhanced, which secures and heals the environment. And simultaneously the related scientific efforts and commercial investments must be achieved and involved in order to promote and reinforce the potential and prospects of the bio-fuel in the future.
