Five ways to reduce emissions from the Norwegian Continental Shelf
The LowEmission research centre aims to reduce offshore greenhouse gas emissions from the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) by 50%. Recently, there has been…
Predicting the future energy system: modelling offshore wind in the power grid
Achieving a sustainable zero-emission society requires profound changes to the energy system. About half of Norway’s overall energy consumption is fossil based. Decarbonising this half of the energy consumption and simultaneously facilitating sustainable growth in Norway are key challenges going forward.
