Tiivistelmä
Traditional fuels - oil, gas and coal - are non-renewable energy sources, thus the world is looking for alternative fuels. Bioenergy is coming with a fast paste into the picture. Russia's prospects in the processing of bioenergy are almost unlimited, as the stocks of raw materials are huge. Pellets are a type of wood fuel that is produced from compacted sawdust under high pressure, without chemical fixers.
Russian company Ltd. “BioCalorien”, located at the Leningrad Region, Podporozhje town is engaged in production of wood pellets. The purpose of the thesis is to aid the company in entering the Finish market, by studying the prices, the market, the cultural differences and providing a penetration scheme of imported Russian pellets to Finland.
Taking into account the price comparison, there is a clear prove that there is a big potential for Russian companies to enter the Finish wood pellet market. The net price of 1 ton of Russian produced pellets differs with 100 Euros from the domestic prices. As an advantage, pellets are much greener than traditional fuels: 10 - 50 times less carbon dioxide emissions into the air.
In today's world one of the most important challenges is to preserve the earth environment that would ensure a safe and comfortable future. Wood pellets is a excellent solution, as there will be more competition on the market, the prices could decrease, which would lead to increased consumption.
