2. 9 billion people in 2050

4. The challenge of climate and energy
Oil and gas

5. Climate targets and regulations
Paris Agreement
EU Emission Trading System
EU energy security gas
EU Road Map 2050

Energy efficiency
Best Available Techhnology

6. The Norwegian oil and gas industry is a part of the EU ETS system.
Reducing emissions in industry sector by 43 percent within 2030.
Norwegian tax on CO2-emissions in place since 1994.

7. NCS Roadmap launched in Arendalsuka
High value creation and low emissions towards 2030 and 2050

8. NCS Roadmap and Konkraft’s climate report
The roadmap is a high-level strategy document with a twofold purpose:
Establish ambitions for the industry’s long-term production and value creation on the NCS up to 2030 and 2050
Establish goals and milestones for reduced greenhouse gas emissions up to 2030 and 2050
An action plan for greenhouse gas emission reduction has been prepared as an integrated part of the document
The Konkraft Climate Report was launched together with the roadmap during the Arendal week
Remaining resource potential sound basis for longevity of NCS operations
Strong track record with regards to greenhouse gas emission reduction but need for step-up in ambitions to deliver on climate goals and secure license to operate
Backdrop UN’s sustainability goals, COP21 in Paris
Climate main pillar of new strategy for Norwegian oil and gas, prepared in 2014 but endorsed early 2015
Joint industry product, launched as a Konkraft product (Norwegian Oil and Gas, Federation of Norwegian Industry, the Shipowners Association and the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO))
Aligned with OG21 work (National Strategy for Petroleum related R&D). OG21 strategy process is ongoing and will conclude later this autumn
Climate ambitions for 2020 set by Konkraft in 2008 and ambitions have been increased from 1 million tonnes a year in avoided emissions to 1.4 million tonnes

9. Key roadmap goals and future ambitions
Climate: 2.5 million tonnes of avoided CO2 emissions annually
Production: Maintain current production level in oil equivalents to 2030
Emission reduction goal is on top of ambition 1,4 mill tonnes CO2 per year within 2020
Ambitions for 2050
Climate: Leading position in emissions per unit produced and substantially reduce relative emissions compared to 2030
Production: Oil recovery rate of 60%

10. Action plan and follow-up
Step changes in emission reduction require technology development, hence a step up of climate related R&D is advised
Establishment of a Center of Excellence for Emission Reduction for the Petroleum Sector
Proposal to increase public funding by increments of 100 MNOK annually over 10 years and same contributions from the industry
Mange spennende teknologier; Brenselsceller, hybridteknologi, kraft fra land, offshore vind koblet med batteriløsninger. Vet ikke hva som blir vinnerne

11. Follow up Realised emission reductions will be reported annually
Evaluation and reassessment of goals and technology development and implementation every 5th year. (Konkraft report will be updated)

12. Typical areas of emission reduction
Low carbon or zero-carbon power supply
Power supply from land
Energy efficiency in offshore power and heat supply at field or area level
LNG or hybrid solutions for supply and support vessels
Reduction in emissions from mobile drilling rigs
Reduction in emission of short-lived climate pollutants such as methane
The future may offer new solutions such as
fuel cells,
supply from offshore wind-mills combined with batteries
hydrogen production offshore/onshore.

15. Key takeaways
Need for oil and gas also in 2050 for a growing global population
This oil and gas will have to be produced with low emissions
We produce with low emissions in Norway
Lower production of oil and gas in Norway will increase global emissions and have a negative effect on jobs and welfare in Norway
Norwegian continental shelf: a technological driver for low- emission solutions
Low emission technology on fossil fuel production and use is necessary to meet the climate goals and energy demand.
