Norway has cut land industry emissions by 45% since 1990, but is only at 13% overall—can quotas and EU cooperation bridge the gap to 55% by 2030?

The episode opens by framing Norway's climate challenge: land industry emissions have fallen 45% since 1990, but overall cuts are only at 13%, with goals of 55% by 2030 and 75% by 2035. The first segment features a political panel discussing policy tools. Frøya Schusseter from the Green Party argues that non-quota sectors like transport and agriculture offer the most potential, citing reduced meat consumption and car traffic as effective but politically difficult measures. A representative from the right wing defends their climate engagement while advocating for simplified goals, mentioning the scrapped climate neutrality goal. Another panelist critiques recent parliamentary moves, such as eliminating the climate neutrality goal and subsidizing gasoline, as dismantling climate policy. The conversation shifts to industrial perspectives. Bernhard Stormur, director of power at Jara, explains that industrial emissions cuts come from innovation, like their catalyst system, but green projects like hydrogen at Herøya are stalling due to high electricity prices and mismatched power supply versus demand. Hilde Rød, director of power at Equinor, notes that oil and gas emissions have been cut by 34% since 2015 despite doubled production, primarily through electrification and energy efficiency, but major electrification projects are now complete. Elise Kaspersen from CRO discusses maritime emissions, pointing out that policy uncertainty and delayed regulations hinder investment in green shipping technologies. Anders Teigland from Tiotec introduces their battery technology using titanium oxide anodes, highlighting applications in maritime and grid stability, though initial customers include defense and drilling sectors. The episode concludes with discussions on renewable energy expansion, wind power resistance, and the role of batteries and hydrogen in the energy transition, emphasizing the need for stable policies and infrastructure.
