Abstract
A conference paper. In Finland, heating entrepreneurship, i.e. supplying customers with heat energy from wood raw material, is a new form of rural enterprise. The entrepreneur is mainly responsible for supplying heat energy to municipal real estates in the form of chipped wood. He procures the fuel and supervises the heating plant and is paid on the basis of the amount of heat generated. The price of the supplied heat is usually bound to the price of light fuel oil, but agreements based on the price development of district heat and chips are also used. At the end of 1996 there were 36 examples of heating enterprises in Finland and about 20 new ones are planned to start in 1997. Twenty-nine of the operational targets supplied by heating-energy entrepreneurs were single-building heating plants and seven were district heating plants, all using oil for additional or reserve energy. Heating entrepreneurship provides extra income, especially for farmers, who have otherwise unmarketable potential fuelwood in their wood lot, underutilized timber harvesting equipment, experience of using fuel chips, and lack of supplementary income opportunities. 1 figure, 6 tabs.
