Norway
Norway has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and establishing a low-emissions society by 2050. As an energy-rich country, Norway is in a unique starting position with respect to the energy transition. An abundance of affordable hydropower has enabled the development of energy-intensive industries and a high level of electrification of homes and businesses with limited greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, as a major oil and gas producer and exporter, Norway will need to support an evolution of its energy sector amid the global energy transition. Altogether, Norway has the opportunity to lead…

Portugal and the Netherlands green hydrogen agreement
Portugal and the Netherlands signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen the cooperation in the development of green hydrogen. Their aim is to advance the strategic value chain of production and transport of hydrogen produced from renewable energy, connecting the two country's 2030 hydrogen plans. The ports of Sines and Rotterdam will play an important role in this agreement.

Energy agreement between Netherlands - Denmark
The Climate Ministers of the Netherlands and Denmark signed, in June 2020, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the transfer of 8-16 TWh of renewable energy from Denmark to the Netherlands. The Netherlands will invest DKK 1 billion in large-scale Power-to-X plants of 100 MW in Denmark. The investment will be used to establish large-scale Power-to-X plants and develop storage and renewable energy technologies for trucks, ships and aircraft. The collaboration combines Denmark's wind resources with Dutch expertise in hydrogen production. It will also help the Netherlands meet their EU renewable energy…

Portugal
Portugal is supporting decarbonisation through a wide variety of measures, such as, coal-fired generation was phased out in 2021. Portugal is further developing its large hydropower fleet, including additional capacity of pumped hydro storage. Portugal is an international leader for integration of wind generation, and auctions are driving rapid deployment of PV and battery storage. Portugal is pushing for better electricity interconnections with the rest of Europe. Portugal’s National Energy and Climate Plan sets 2030 targets for emissions reductions, energy efficiency and renewable energy that aim to put the country a path to achieving cost effective carbon neutrality…

Luxembourg
Luxembourg has a fossil fuel intensive energy mix driven by a high demand for transportation fuels, notably from transiting freight trucks and commuters. Despite this demand, the country is committed to reducing emissions. Its climate law sets targets for a 55% emission reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality target by 2050. The government has adopted numerous measures to push for energy transition, including a carbon tax which was introduced in 2020 and encouraging renewable generation through subsidies and auctions. Several programmes also support energy efficiency in buildings, industry and transportation, with a target for 49% of all passenger cars to…
