Finn Gunnar Nielsen: Electrification of Norwegian cars with offshore wind
This time, Finn Gunnar talked about Norwegian emission targets and alternatives on how to achieve them. Due to high portions of hydropower, Norwegian emissions are dominated by emissions made in the transportat sector and the oil & gas sector. Finn Gunnar suggested an electrification of the Norwegian car park based on offshore wind power, and he argued that the price would be competitive with the current gasoline and diesel prices. Finn Gunnar further underlined the great potential in emission reduction through electrification of oil and gas platforms with offshore wind.
