Dear LowEmission friend,
Another year has passed, and we are pleased to present you with the 2021 edition of the LowEmission annual report. The topic of Norway's emissions – and how to reduce them – is as relevant as it ever was, which makes developing an array of solutions to reach our climate goals all the more important.
|
We look forward to another year of research and collaboration with our partners. Read on to get the latest update about our activities.

Offshore energy hubs: a useful tool to decarbonise the Norwegian continental shelf's energy system
|
|
|
|
Offshore energy hubs are poised to play an important role in the North Sea's green transition. These hubs will serve as connecting points and storage sites for the energy produced with offshore renewables. Building them optimally to get the best results at the lowest possible cost will require careful analysis. … Read more

|
|
|
Natural gas represented approximately 50% of the Norwegian production of oil equivalents in 2020. However, not all gas extracted from the Norwegian Continental Shelf is transported to land. Part of it is burnt in low-efficiency, single-cycle gas turbines … Read more
