Abstract
The aim of this research was to study the boilers used for energy production and the present utilization and the future aspects of forest chips as a fuel in the Northern Finland. The research material was gathered using an inquiry which was sent to all the communities of Northern Finland and the some industrial and other plants using wood energy. The data contains almost all the boilers, but is inadequate in the case of industrial oil-fueled boilers. The thermal power of the boiler plants sited in the Northern Finland was 3500 MW. The amount of boilers using indigenous solid fuels was 1900 MW. Milled peat was used as the main fuel in 32 % of the boilers, oil in 26 %, industrial waste liquids in 19%, industrial waste wood in 17 %, sod peat in 4 % and forest chips in 1 % of the boilers. Forest chips was used as the main fuel in 13 plants, but it was used in total 28 plants, the power of which was 570 MW in total. The amount of indigenous fuels used in the Northern Finland in 1991 was about 10.0 million bulk-m{sub 3}, and about 7524 GWh of energy was produced

About 245 000 bulk-m{sup 3} of forest chips was used, the portion of which of the total energy production was 2 %. The factor rendering the utilization of forest chips is its high price. If the forest chips would be a competitive fuel 31 plants would increase the utilization of it by about 60 % from the level of 1991. 15 plants stopped utilization of forest chips in 1983-1992. At the present price level 4 plants will decrease the utilization of forest chips by 20-80 %, and 7 plants will stop the utilization of it. The main reason for this is the high price of the forest chips}
