Norway has key opportunities to advance clean transition, says IEA

As a resource-rich country on the leading edge of many clean energy technologies, Norway is uniquely well placed for the clean energy transition and now needs to advance strategies to tackle emissions in sectors where they are hardest to reduce in order to meet its ambitious climate targets, a new in-depth policy review by the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.

Since the IEA’s last policy review in 2017, Norway has remained a global pillar of energy security with its ample reserves of oil and gas produced in an environmentally responsible manner.

Norway is a significant and reliable international supplier, exporting close to 90 per cent of its energy production.
