55 TWh
A clear reduction was seen in Finnish natural gas con- sumption in 2011 and 2012, with the consumption levels also falling below the longer-term average. In 2013 a total of 36.8TWh of natural gas was consumed in Finland. The development of the gas consumption in Finland can be seen in Figure 2.2. A total of 28% of district heat production and 9% of electricity production in Finland were fuelled by natural gas in 2012. Combined heat and power (CHP) production will also remain the biggest use of natural gas in the next few years. The structure of the natural gas consumption can be seen in Figure 2.3. The consumption of natural gas in different sectors can be seen in Figure 2.4.
