Sustainable transportation

Towards fossil-free transportation
Finland is committed to halving the emissions from transport by 2030 and this autumn the Government will will receive a report from a working group, which is developing a national roadmap for achieving fossil-free transportation by 2045. Emissions reduction measures will include reducing the use of fossil fuels by increasing the blending obligation of biofuels (from 15 % in 2018 to 30 % in 2029) and supporting digitalization and automatisation of the transport system. The Government is preparing legislation to support e-mobility by enhancing the charging infrastructure of electric vehicles. In the future, petrol station chains will be obliged to provide a certain number of charging points for electric cars. A national obligation to build charging infrastructure for electric cars whenever a large-scale renovation is completed in a housing company or on business premises will also be set. To promote more sustainable mobility, cycling, walking and public transportation will be encouraged financially. Climate change mitigation will be more strongly taken into account in land use planning so that fture community structures motivate people to choose walking, cycling or public transport, particularly in urban areas.
