Abstract
The SIHTI 2 research programme on energy and
environmental technology,
established by the Finnish Ministry of Trade and
Industry, is concentrating on
areas of environmental technology that are vital to
Finland or in which Finns
can engage in pioneering research. The promotion of
product development within
the environmental technology industry produces solutions
for reducing the
emissions of the energy sector. It is also a way of
boosting Finland's share of
the world market for such technology. The objectives of
the programme are to
cut down harmful emissions, recycle raw materials, reduce
the amount of
byproducts and wastes and achieve a greater utilization
of wastes. In the field
of energy this implies a reduction in the use of fossil
fuels and changes in
both fuel priorities and the structures that characterize
the energy field. In
addition, an objective is to create basic information
about the effects of
environmental protection technology for the other
research programmes financed
by the Ministry of Trade and Industry. The development of
internationally
comparable research, monitoring and measurement methods
creates a basis for
wide-ranging international cooperation. The programme, to
be carried out in
1993 - 1998, is in part a continuation of the previous
SIHTI programme. New
areas of research are environmental problems connected
with energy in the
forest and base metal industries as well as the
systematic development of
life-cycle analyses.
This yearbook 1993 of the programme contains the reports
of the research and
joint development projects and information about the
participating
institutions.
