What the funding enables The HELZERO project provides pre-conditioned air supply for heating and cooling parked aircraft. In addition, ground power will be extended to new aircraft stands. The project also includes the construction of a solar power plant to generate renewable energy and the procurement of a battery storage system. Finavia is implementing the project proactively, ahead of legislative requirements. The project eliminates operational bottlenecks and advances Finavia’s environmental goals, which aim for the entire aviation value chain to operate responsibly. Helsinki Airport achieved net-zero carbon emissions in 2024.

Enviro’s role Our collaboration with Finavia on EU co-funding has continued since 2017, when we helped apply for CEF Transport funding for Finavia’s travel centre. Since then, we have assisted Finavia with managing and reporting on EU projects. For the HELZERO project, we were responsible for the entire application process. Following the positive funding decision, we continued to assist the customer with grant agreement preparation and EU project management, ensuring the reporting requirements were met. At the same time, we have maintained ongoing strategic collaboration to identify funding opportunities.

Project Northern EU Gateways – Planning of development of the autonomous digital backbone and connecting Europe with global strategic partners

Implementation 2023–2024

Cinia

What the funding enables In the project, plans for three telecommunications cable investments were prepared and refined. The project also produced a high-level plan for cable systems connecting the EU. Once realised, the projects will improve backbone network connections, provide alternative routes for submarine cables, and enhance cybersecurity in a strategically important region of Europe. At the same time, EU connectivity to third countries will be strengthened.

Enviro’s role We were responsible for the entire application process. Following the positive funding decision, we continued to assist with the preparation of the consortium agreement and the negotiations of the grant agreement, as well as EU project management. We ensured that the reporting requirements were met.

What the funding enables The project involves the construction of a new tanker vessel equipped with a methanol-powered engine and a foldable wind-assisted propulsion system. The vessel serves as a pilot platform for innovative technologies. It also features shore power connection and battery systems. The project promotes the adoption of alternative fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 4,000 tonnes per year.

Enviro’s role We have secured EU grants and national funding for Terntank since 2013. In addition to the Innovation Fund, we have helped Terntank obtain EU TEN-T funding and Swedish and Norwegian national support for vessel environmental investments. We have been responsible for funding application processes, grant project management, and communications.
Wega has assisted Terntank in developing low-emission supply chains and has managed charter agreements since 2013. The long-standing collaboration highlights the expertise across Wega’s various business areas: chartering, fuel procurement, co-funding, and environmental reporting.

What the funding enables The project is a continuation of long-standing cooperation in the Baltic Sea region. It ensures efficient, environmentally friendly cross-border winter navigation in the Baltic Sea. The project guarantees the availability of a sufficient icebreaking fleet. At the same time, it enables emission reductions and improves the cost-efficiency of operations. Finland’s new EU-funded B+ class icebreaker will be built to replace the over 70-year-old Voima. Despite its smaller size, the new low-emission vessel can open the same 25-metre-wide channel as A-class icebreakers. The project also includes modernisation and life-cycle extensions for Sweden’s existing icebreakers.

Enviro’s role We were responsible for preparing the joint funding application for Finland, Sweden, and Estonia. This included cost-benefit analyses, coordinating international project meetings, and submitting the application via the application system. Enviro’s collaboration with Väylävirasto on EU funding applications and project reporting has continued since 2017. Funding for Finland has been secured for winter navigation, fairways, rail and road projects, and military mobility.

What the funding enables The Quays2Solutions project involved constructing a new 270-metre-long quay at the Mäntyluoto port area. At the same time, the old liquid-bulk quay at Tahkoluoto was replaced. The POPRAMP project addressed military mobility needs by constructing a permanent RoRo ramp at Mäntyluoto and by renovating the adjacent yard area. The Power2Quays project implements a shore-side electricity supply system for two quays at Tahkoluoto. A solar power plant and reinforcement of the port’s electrical grid are also included. These projects remove transport bottlenecks, improve the port’s basic infrastructure and dual-use capability, and promote low-emission maritime transport and the port’s environmental responsibility.

Enviro’s role Close collaboration and a deep understanding of the customer’s investment needs have enabled three mutually reinforcing projects with EU co-funding. We have been responsible for funding applications, as well as for the management and reporting of the EU projects.
