There are substantial quantities of fuel peat worldwide, mainly in Canada, Russia, northern Europe and in tropical countries such as Indonesia. Use of this resource has developed on the basis of need, and following the 1970s oil crises, there was active development work in Canada, Finland, Ireland, Sweden and U.S. Intensive investigations into harvesting conditions have resulted in increased yields under given climatic conditions. Wet recovery systems and subsequent dewatering are being studied but are not yet economically viable. New power generation plant has been built recently in Finland, Ireland and Sweden with a maximum size of about 150 MWe to utilise fuel peat.
