"Finland's peat reserves are double those of the known oil reserves in the North Sea and 2/3 of Norway's known oil reserves. Finland's peat resources are almost ten times the energy of our country's wood resources and 35 times the volume of the forest."
Only problem is the current Red-Green government which has banned and destroyed this industry which once (2007) employed 12000 people.
But no worry, those wimps do always what European Union tells them to do. This energy is definitively more "environmental" than Russian Gas. Also you can generate gas from those peat fields too.
