Oslo plans solar container power station

Does Oslo need better energy management?

To continue the electrification of these sectors, Oslo needs better energy planning and management to ensure that the city has sufficient grid capacity and alternative energy sources to fulfil the transition. Energy management is needed at both the micro level – construction site or charging station – and the macro level – city and region.

How will the port of Oslo help reduce energy consumption?

The Port of Oslo also uses drones to search for waste. Port of Oslo will establish a monitoring system to get a better overview of energy consumption. This will help raise awareness and identify measures to reduce consumption.

Is Oslo an energy-efficient port?

An energy-efficient port consumes less power and reduces the use of fossil fuels. Oslo is one of the world's most climate-conscious and environmentally ambitious port cities. By 2030, Oslo will eliminate 95% of greenhouse gas emissions. Port of Oslo will reduce emissions by 85% in the same period, and become emissions-free over the long term.

Can Oslo achieve a net zero transition by 2030?

Electricity grid performance and energy management is key for Oslo to achieve its net zero transition by 2030. This pilot will focus on supporting emissions-free energy supply to construction machinery and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs), sectors that are expected to be challenging to electrify.

What's new at Port of Oslo?

In 2020, Port of Oslo launched the world's first electric workboat of its kind. Pelikan 2 collects floating waste from Inner Oslo Fjord. The Port of Oslo also uses drones to search for waste. Port of Oslo will establish a monitoring system to get a better overview of energy consumption.

How has port of Oslo reduced its emissions?

Port of Oslo has reduced its emissions from port-owned vessels and vehicles from 230 tonnes in 2015 to 2.8 tonnes in 2020 by phasing out vehicles powered by fossil fuels, and investing in electric vehicles. Port vessels and vehicles stopped using fossil fuels in 2019. In 2020, Port of Oslo launched the world's first electric workboat of its kind.
