- Carbon dioxide emissions from the production and use of energy decreased by six per cent.
Finland's Production of Energy:
Finland is not known for its energy production because Finland is a net energy importer. It has no significant reserves of any fossil fuels except peat, and its electricity generation is not incredibly sufficient.
