Removing CO2 emissions from the energy system plays one of the leading roles in this context – it is a "no regret option". We must replace fossil energy with renewable energy, and we must cut emissions in energy use through energy efficiency, and this must happen quickly.
We are well underway with the transition: Electrification of transport is one example – with energy from renewable sources, electric transport contributes both to emission cuts in energy production and to reduced energy use, as electric propulsion systems are far more energy efficient than fossil ones.
At SINTEF, we believe Norway has particularly good conditions for succeeding in building tomorrow's industry in all parts of the new energy system. We can create a sustainable energy system.
