Sustainable Energy SolutionsEnergyVaasa Innovation Center (INKA) leads

the national energy technology development

in Finland during the years 2014 – 2020

INKA – Sustainable Energy Solutions2

EnergyVaasa INKA is the leading energy technology center in Europe in 2030The Finnish energy technology innovation center is based on the export industry driven

by the EnergyVaasa ecosystem. The Vaasa city driven innovation center leads all key

energy industrial shareholders (industries, universities and public sector) in Finland.

• The industries will double their export value from 2010 to 2020;• The industrial networks, knowledge and competitiveness will be developed;• The industrial leaders should be able to keep their market position (ABB, Andritz,

Foster Wheeler, Metso Energy, Switch, Vacon Wärtsilä,...);• The service companies are supported for future internationalisation (Citec, Etteplan,

Wapice, Granlund, VEO...); • The networks are developed with the best energy cities in Finland with clear profiles;

the collaboration between the universities is facilitated, the investments of public sector will be used as innovation references and the new business models are developed to support the growth and internationalisation of SMEs.

Main themes of the innovation center


• Offshore wind will grow globally by 29% annually• Renewable energy production will require adjustable gas power plants• The cleantech business in ferries, power plants and mining sector will increase• Gas will be used more in transportation and power generation• A number of LNG –harbors and ferries will be built in the near future• Sulfur directive will create new business opportunities for environmental investments

Smart Power Generation


KEY BUSINESS AREAS

The Wärtsilä 50DF medium-speed engine can be run either on natural gas or on light fuel oil (LFO) or on heavy fuel oil (HFO). The engine can smoothly switch between fuels during engine operation and is designed to give the same output regardless of the fuel.

ENERGY VAASA SUPPORTS THE GLOBAL ECOSYSTEMS OF THE INDUSTRIAL LEADERS

Wärtsilä´s challenge for public players


Lähde: The global cleantech report 2012

If ABB and Vacon keep their market share in growing

frequency converter business the growth will be about

+1,3mrd € by 2016

If Wärtsilä doubles its market share in gas power plant business the growth

will be ~3 mrd € by 2020

If Mervento enters as planned to the market the revenues will be 1mrd €

by 2020
