Norwegian Hydrogen Strategy
Presented by the Minister for Petroleum and Energy and the Minister for Climate and Environment in June 2020, the Norwegian Hydrogen Strategy lays the foundation for the future work on hydrogen in Norway and contributes to the development of low emissions technologies for the greenhouse gases reduction goal. The strategy defines how clean hydrogen will be produced and the sectors of the economy where this energy carrier is going to contribute more to decarbonisation. Focus is posed on industrial processes and the heavy transport, with the maritime sector in particular, where the country is already committed in investments and research…

Energy to Work - Hydrogen Roadmap
This Roadmap is a follow up of the National Hydrogen Strategy presented in June 2020. "The vision presented in the roadmap is that by 2050 a market for the production and use of hydrogen will have been established in Norway. In the short-term, the government will seek to facilitate, in collaboration with the private sector, the establishment of five hydrogen hubs in the area of maritime transportation by 2025. It will also, in collaboration with the private sector, strive for the establishment of one or two industrial projects with associated production facilities, as well as five to ten pilot…

The Norwegian Government’s hydrogen strategy
…to make hydrogen an opportunity for value creation, in areas in which Norway has competitive advantages. The Strategy considers hydrogen a potential zero emission alternative. Hence, it must become technologically and financially accessible, as costs of energy, emission and storage for hydrogen are not competitive yet, compared with some of the fossil fuels.
The following are the priorities of the Strategy.
Technology development: the supply side will benefit a technology development, as it would reduce production costs. The government will support an increasing number of pilot and demonstration project in Norway, through policy instrument that promote zero emission technologies.

Recommended Guidelines for Discharge and Emission Reporting No: 44 (with 2019 updates)
This is an industry document, suggesting best practices in emissions reporting. It notes that offshore operators have had to submit emission reports in Norway since 1997. Air emissions reporting begins on page 42 (Sec. 7), and includes end-use combustion, flaring, and burning of oil and natural gas during well tests and well clean-up. The document provides emissions factors for different emitting activities (e.g., Sec. 7.1.9). The document also reflects that as of 2017, Norway began requiring reporting of direct emissions of methane and other volatile organic compounds, using updated quantification methods. The Guidelines describe general…

2022 - 2033 National Transport Plan - Railway
Targeting to halve emissions from the transport sector by 2030, compared to 2005 levels, the Government of Norway announced a National Transport Plan for 2022-2033. During that period, the government will allocate NOK 1,200 billion to the development of an efficient, eco-friendly and safe transport system with the objective to strengthen railway services in Norway. Within the plan, the government plans to spend close to NOK 400 billion on the railway over the next 12 years. It will in particular develop and strengthen the railway where it has an important role in the transport system with the…
