Popis: 88% of South Savo’s surface area is covered by forest. Forests have a significant effect on the economy of the South Savo region as the yield capacity of forests in the area is better than average when compared to the rest of Southern Finland. There is also potential to increase the utilisation rate of forests. Bioenergy is a growing sector, which has the potential to bring new business to the South Savo region. The project will result in new biochar-based product concepts and networks for the development and commercialisation of biochar products. This will create new business opportunities. In the long term, the project will promote the South Savo region’s target towards a low-carbon economy, as fossil raw materials are being replaced with biomass-based raw materials.
