Framework conditions, policies and projections for clean energy export from Norway

Abstract

This report aims at providing an overview of the main policies, instruments and uncertainties that will influence the potential for clean energy export from Norway to Europe in the coming years. A large portion of the Norwegian economy is related to the export of fossil fuels and approximately 80% of our goods exports go to the EU. The EU aims at achieving a net-zero emission economy by 2050, which is likely to affect Norwegian exports. Significant changes in our energy system will be required to meet emission reduction targets and low emission energy carriers will play an important role in the future.
