HRS for heavy hydrogen vehicles
Norway offers up to NOK 30 million (USD 2.7 million) per hydrogen refueling station (HRS), covering up to 40% of approved costs—potentially more if competition is present. To qualify, stations must be publicly accessible to trucks over 4.25 tons, demonstrate demand from heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), offer renewable hydrogen for at least five years, and be completed within 18 months of Enova’s decision. Funding is awarded based on demand, with evaluation criteria weighted 70% on cost-effectiveness and 30% on market potential. In December 2024, four HRS were funded along the Oslo–Trondheim route, with Oslo…

SAF mandate in line with EU's
Norway to adopt the same targets as ReFuel EU regulation by end of 2027 at the latest. Targets include 2% SAF by 2025, 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Norway has its own mandate which started at 0.5% in 2020

Climate Action Plan 2021–2030
…waste, agriculture, buildings, industry, and parts of the oil and gas sector, with an indicative target level of around NOK 2,000 per tonne CO₂e by 2030. The plan also considers potential taxation of mineral fertilisers to reduce nitrous oxide emissions. Norway’s long-term objective is to become a low-emission society by 2050, in line with its climate targets under the Climate Change Act. From 1 January 2030, Norwegian greenhouse gas emissions will be offset by emission reductions in other countries either through the EU Emission Trading Scheme, international cooperation on emission reductions, emissions trading, or project-based…

Norwegian price cap on Russian petroleum products
Norway introduced a price cap on Russian petroleum products to reduce Russia's revenues from the sale of petroleum products to third countries and to match the price caps adopted by the EU and the G7 countries. The price cap is USD 45 per barrel for refined petroleum products trading at a discount to crude oil, and USD 100 per barrel for refined petroleum products trading above the price of crude oil.

Participation in Baltic Energy Efficiency Group (BEEG)
Norway participated in the Baltic Energy Efficiency Group (BEEG), one of four working groups established by the Energy Ministers of the Baltic Sea at their Stavanger Ministerial on 2 December 1998. Mandated to assess energy efficiency options and potentials, the BEEG focused on combined heat and power (CHP) and district heating (DH). The BEEG assessment included technologies, financing and legislation. The Groups action programme included: - A CHP strategy. - A facility for financing small-scale energy efficiency projects, CHP and renewables. - A Market Transformation Programme. - A flexible framework for improving the efficiency of collaborative projects and actions by the creation of…

Multi-lateral Agreements to Reduce CO2 Emissions: Slovakia
Norway financed a project for the reduction of CO 2 emissions in Slovakia, then hoping that future refinement of the Kyoto Protocol would enable the reduction to be credited toward Norways Kyoto commitment. Environment ministers from each country agreed that Norway would contribute NOK 1.2 million to modernise two district heating systems in Slovakia through the replacement of coal and natural gas with bioenergy. While the net reduction in CO 2 emissions was expected to be only 50,000 metric tons over 30 years, both ministers expressed hope for expanded co-operation on these matters in years to come…

Wind
Wind has significant potential to boost growth in global renewable capacity
Electricity generation from renewables is expected to increase by 60% through 2030 – rising from 9 900 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2024 to 16 200 TWh by the end of the decade. Wind accounts for almost a third of growth, second only to solar PV, which accounts for 60%.
Although wind power continues to face supply chain issues, rising costs and permitting delays today, global capacity is still expected to nearly double to over 2 000 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 as both advanced and developing economies tackle these barriers.

Georgia
Georgia has developed an energy sector based largely on hydropower and fuelwood, in addition to imports of fossil fuels. It is also an important transit country for the region, with major oil and gas pipelines running across Georgian territory. Efforts are required to improve energy efficiency and capitalise on the country’s renewable energy potential.
Georgia has made solid progress in the past decade, both in improving the security of its energy supply and in transitioning to a cleaner, more sustainable energy system. Although Georgia is still confronted with many challenges in its transition to a more secure, sustainable and…- Overview

Bioenergy
Led by bioenergy, renewable fuels could approach 6% of energy demand from industry, buildings and transport in 2030
By 2030, renewable fuels are set to account for 5.5% of energy consumption from the industry, building and transport sectors. Demand is due to expand in all regions, but it is concentrated in China, Brazil, Europe, India and the United States, which collectively support more than two-thirds of the forecasted growth. All five countries and regions have dedicated support policies for several – and, in some cases, all – renewable fuels. These vary by fuel, sector and country, but they often include…
