The aim of the project is to study the wood resources suitable for use as energy in the Lake Päanne and Lake Saimaa areas and the possible applications, and to design a logistic system for the transport of fuel wood, so that as much of the transportation as possible will take place by water, in which case the transport system will be the best possible, as far as cost, energy consumption and environmental impact are concerned. The project will also study the possibility to combine the inland waterways of Finland and Northwest Russia.
