Norway maps robust energy future

摘要

Norway's plan to thrive in the energy transition,by accelerating its low-carbon push while continuing to produce hydrocarbons with lower emissions,will be jealously watched by other producers that may struggle to emulate its approach.Western Europe's largest oil and gas producer wants to strengthen its position as an"energy nation”,aiming to cut emissions while maintaining economic activity,prime minister Erna Solberg says.That includes facilitating offshore wind power and hydrogen,but a growing oil and gas production outlook-enhanced by tax breaks introduced last year amid the Covid slump-means that its 4mn b/d of oil equivalent petroleum industry will remain a key part of the economy for years.
