Foreword Energy and Vaasa = EnergyVaasa
Once again Vaasa has the honour and pleasure of acting as the meeting place for the energy industry. Vaasa Energy Week will gather together some 2,000 experts from the field to exchange thoughts, ponder the future trends of the industry and to simply make the world a cleaner place to live. The event will offer a hefty portion of important issues for companies, decision-makers and anyone interested in the subject to mull over. Over the years, Vaasa has become a prime cluster of energy industries. And why not – after all, locally produced products and solutions are exported all over the world and we produce 30% of the whole country’s energy technology exports. The companies in the Vaasa region have established themselves as significant operators in the world’s energy technology market. The city has taken huge developmental strides, and the region’s dynamic business life has played a great role in this. The companies in the energy industry, which have acted as the engines of the region’s growth, have brought us affluence and well-being and strengthened our faith in the future. Vaasa Energy Week is an excellent tour de force demonstrating the power of cooperation in the Vaasa region. The success of such a top event, aimed at professionals, requires tremendous commitment and investment from all its organisers, and they have proven without a doubt that they can pull together towards a common goal. Together we are more! On behalf of the City of Vaasa, I wish all the attendees of the Vaasa Energy Week a productive and enjoyable week.

Biogas Botnia BECAUSE YESTERDAY’S FUEL WON’T CHANGE BY ITSELF.
It all started a year ago with a project on promoting biogas production and utilization in our region. Now it is time for our final seminar on how these can be achieved in Österbotten, Finland and Västerbotten and Västernorrland in Sweden. This is compiled into a Roadmap with guidelines for biogas development in the Botniaregion. The roadmap is built up around opinions from politicians and biogas players in the region. The reason for promoting biogas is its positive effects on sustainable development. It increases the regional economy, it creates workplaces and it lowers the impact on the environment both locally in cities with better air and globally by less greenhouse gases. Since Biogas Botnia is a cross boarder project we have invited speakers from both Finland and Sweden to the seminar. Regional cases from both countries will be shown as well as experts sharing their knowledge about biogas. The value chain around biogas affects many parts in the society and that’s why you should come, no matter if you are a politician, citizen, professor, farmer or industry runner.
PLANT VISIT 11.00–11.45 Visit to Ab Stormossen Oy:s biogas plant outside Vaasa. Bus transportation from the city hall at 10:45.

Renewable Efficient Energy IV On the second day of the conference the current topics related to the renewable energy sources and Smart Grids are discussed. Globally there has been increasing aspirations to see more widespread use of renewable energy sources (RES). The physical prerequisites for producing all energy by RES exist, and this would create huge regional economic and employment impacts. Already today 100% RES self-sufficient areas have been implemented and planned, but there are still barriers preventing progress and slowing the process. Future power systems employ a wide variety of modern information, communication and automation technology in order to meet the customers demand for high quality power supply applying various RES. There also exists demand for more efficient use of electric energy and better utilisation of the open energy markets. In this session different technological challenges and solutions related to Smart Grids are discussed.

Energy and Buildings THE SECOND TIME IS ALREADY A TRADITION.
This year’s Energy and Buildings seminar will dive into the topic of nearly zero-energy buildings, also called nZEB. Ambitious targets have been set to ensure that from 2020 all new buildings will be nZEB buildings, which means that they will all have to have a very high energy performance and that the energy used will be mostly covered by renewable resources. Experts will tackle the topic on a European level, a Nordic level and on a Finnish level. Succeeded nZEB projects will be presented and problematic issues will be covered. The newly launched FinZEB project, which will determine the definition of Finnish nZEB, will also be presented during the seminar.

MAURITZ KNUTS, Project Manager, Vaasa Region Development Company VASEK Great architecture and construction with energy-efficient and sustainable design is something that inspires me greatly, and during the Energy and Buildings seminar I look forward to getting hard facts about requirements but also mind expanding new ideas about the possibilities available. This will certainly be an excellent event to get a firm grip of where we are going with our buildings and I don’t think anyone in the field should miss out on this opportunity. SARA KUNKEL Project Manager – Financing instruments of energy efficiency measures Buildings Performance Institute Europe BPIE Sara is an architect and certified consultant for energy efficiency in buildings. She coordinated projects to develop the German nearly Zero Energy Building definition and to establish an independent control system for Energy Performance Certificates.
