Oslo independent energy storage project

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.

Will Norway's largest waste-to-energy plant become a reality?

Norway’s largest waste-to-energy plant has secured funding that will enable capture and storage of 400 000 tonnes of CO2. -Seeing is believeing, said Bellona founder Frederic Hauge about the Klemetsrud CO2 capture and storage project in 2015. By 2026, the world’s first waste-to-energy plant with full-scale CCS will finally become reality.

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.

How much does Norway pay for the Northern Lights project?

The Norwegian state has already given a funding guarantee of 3 billion NOK (310 million EUR). In addition, the state pays for the transport and permanent storage of the CO2 at the site of Northern Lights, off the western coast of Norway. The City of Oslo plans to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 95 per cent by 2030.

What is Oslo's procurement strategy?

Oslo’s procurement strategy as a tool to scale up emissions-free solutions that can serve as a cost-effective template for replication. The procurement strategy has been highly successful in ensuring the development and implementation of electric solutions at construction sites for commercial transport and beyond.
