What solar container projects are being developed in oslo

How can Oslo support climate friendly urban development?

To support climate friendly urban development, six municipalities in the Oslo region, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger and Kristiansand are collaborating on the FutureBuilt programme. Our vision is to show that climate neutral urban areas, based on high quality architecture, are possible.

Does the Oslo CCS project affect the completion of longship?

The changes in the CCS project in Oslo do not affect the completion of Longship as a full chain for the capture, transport, and storage of CO 2. Heidelberg Materials is capable of capturing CO 2, and Northern Lights is capable of transporting and permanently storing CO 2 from 2025.

Does Oslo need better energy management?

To continue the electrification of these sectors, Oslo needs better energy planning and management to ensure that the city has sufficient grid capacity and alternative energy sources to fulfil the transition. Energy management is needed at both the micro level – construction site or charging station – and the macro level – city and region.

How is Northern Lights' CO2 transport and storage infrastructure progressing?

Construction of Northern Lights’ CO 2 transport and storage infrastructure and Heidelberg Materials’ capture facility in Brevik is progressing. As of now, the Brevik CCS is 76 percent complete, while Northern Lights’ storage facility is 94 percent complete.

Can Oslo achieve a net zero transition by 2030?

Electricity grid performance and energy management is key for Oslo to achieve its net zero transition by 2030. This pilot will focus on supporting emissions-free energy supply to construction machinery and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs), sectors that are expected to be challenging to electrify.

Why do we need CCS projects like Northern Lights?

Most climate scientists recognise that the world needs CCS projects like Northern Lights if society is to achieve net-zero emissions. According to the International Energy Agency, CCS is especially important for cutting emissions from carbon-intensive heavy industries like cement and steel.
